DESCRIPTION

The team I was working with finished our entry to the latest N64brew game jam and I am super happy with the results. As always pyroxene did a fantastic job with the visuals.

The theme of the jam was repair but I also wanted to see what the open world engine I have been working on for spell craft. The game runs on original N64 hardware and the draw distance is massive for an N64 game. I am in the process of making a video describing how that works so be sure to look out on YouTube for that when I finish it. You can download the game here https://github.com/lambertjamesd/n64brew2025/releases

A lot of the work from this jam will carry over to spell craft. The cutscene system was improved, the open world rendering was improved, and I have more confidence I can take spell craft and turn it into a complete N64 game as I did a smaller version of that during the jam.

I wanted to do more than a single dimensional mechanic for the jam this year and instead create a larger world that has a bigger variety of mechanics that connect together to a larger whole. The game has exploration, racing, the repair minigame, a currency with a store. The game offers a good variety of things to do and a gorgeous map to explore. It is free to download so give it a try if you want. It is recommended you play on an N64 or analogue 3d using a flash cart. If you don't have those you can play on ares but you will need a powerful computer to run that.
