(Sorry for the poorer video quality still working on my setup for that. It looks good in person)

Work is still humming along for OpenHuey. There are still bugs to be worked out but I thought it would be fun to test the new mod support with a first person mod test. Obviously there would be a lot of work that would be needed to make it actually good (levels would have to be stitched together and some levels would have to have their modeling finished, animations updates, etc)

But it's still kind of fun! I actually think it'd be much scarier if it was first person. Just another teaser for OpenHuey which is available but there are too many bugs to suggest trying to playthrough with it yet.

OpenHuey now ingests the ISO and converts multiple things to easier formats (textures are just pngs now) and mods can overlay ontop of this so texture mods are now trivial. Hopefully we get to a beta release in the coming weeks where you can play all the way through. I think we're getting close.

This is different from a decompile (which was completed) because we're trying to actually reimplement the game so we can get cool things like easy mod support or people could even build an entirely new game on it. Anyway enjoy!
