Development - Jun 2023

Various pictures and videos we took while working on Jak II.

[2023-06-05] Warp effect and fog still not cooperating

[2023-06-06] Whatever was breaking metalkor was apparently fixed?

[2023-06-07] Early Discord RPC support

[2023-06-08] Misc voicelines

[2023-06-08] "Behold the high precision floating point blerc" -water111

[2023-06-08] The younger Jak model in Jak 2 has a beard hidden inside his face

[2023-06-08] Low LOD metalheads...

[2023-06-08] ... vs high LOD metalheads

[2023-06-10]

[2023-06-11] Hiphog mirror is breaking the new blerf renderer

[2023-06-14] "lol they just didnt make the particle effects for this level" -ManDude

[2023-06-15] The vortex effect actually speeds up time in-game (watch the stars in Sandover), so you get this weird side effect in the Discord RPC

[2023-06-17] "Kinda cool, they actually placed foreground lights in jak 2. In jak 1, there were like 5 in the whole game, because each light had to be manually programmed" -water111

[2023-06-17] "She just does this off camera for some reason" -ManDude

[2023-06-18] Native screenshots work in high-quality and with MSAA

[2023-06-19] Originally once you beat the game, the carrier wouldn't return to the port here. In OpenGOAL this is fixed, allowing you to return to the metalhead nest!

[2023-06-19] You can softlock yourself out of this orb in the original game, because it doesn't spawn in the later versions of the sewers level. Another thing fixed in OpenGOAL

[2023-06-21] An unused variation of the racepoint side mission.

[2023-06-21] Another unused racepoint side mission, strangely using the Onin tent icon

[2023-06-21] "There's meant to be an elec gate visible from the krew boss but it's too far away on PS2" -ManDude

[2023-06-23] "I just softlocked the game... wait... the game is just running at like 2fps... I'm in an infinite loop of mission fails" -ManDude

[2023-06-25] Clouds!

[2023-06-27] Another original game bug - if you exit out of the stadium races too quickly, you can softlock yourself out of the orbs.

[2023-06-27] It's now patched in OpenGOAL, but testing the fix and getting gold in these was actually kinda challenging

[2023-06-28] These textures work during races now

[2023-06-29] Progress menu transitions at 150% speed
