I cant believe Im writing this but here we are.

After over 10 years of solo development countless late nights, mysterious bugs, painful rewrites, and yes, constant back pain
3dSen PC \[VR] has officially exited Early Access!

It All Started With a Crazy Idea

"What if you could play classic NES games not just emulated but reimagined, rebuilt, and experienced in full 3D?"

Not just parallax. Not just layers.
But true 3D environments, carefully reconstructed from 2D sprites, while keeping the gameplay you know and love.

That idea turned into an obsession one game, one profile, one breakthrough at a time.

A Journey Fueled by Curiosity, Stubbornness, and Love for the Craft

• Supporting both VR and flat-screen PC meant solving everything twice and discovering twice the magic.

  [/*]

• I even experimented with futuristic gear like the Looking Glass holographic display, just to see how far I could push it.

  [/*]

• I've supported Windows, Linux, and macOS from the start and still do.
  While others dropped platforms, I stuck with them because everyone deserves access.

  [/*]

• Getting rollback, rewind, and fast-forward working on top of a 3D NES engine was an interesting challenge but totally worth it.

  [/*]

• Shifting from itch.io to Steam opened new doors and brought in so many of you reading this now.

  [/*]

But honestly?

The biggest fuel was always you the community.
Your feedback, bug reports, modding tips, and even your criticism kept me going when things got hard.

And now, thanks to the 3dSenMaker tool, you're helping take it even further by crafting your own handmade 3D profiles.

Hi everyone, bad news here. I'm having a serious problem with my back and have to stay in bed 24h/24h for now. So no development news and support from me for a while. See you soon! :slight_smile:

I would like to inform you all about the release of "Rockman Special 3D Edition" profile from Dr. Volt Alessandro Arcade and CROOT_ROM.
Their style and taste are different to me. There are more depths everywhere in their profile compared to the built-in one and especially every character becomes 3D.
Just check this profile out:
https://itch.io/t/1024726/mega-man-3d
Let download/import the profile, give it a try and let us know which one you prefer :)

As a side node: Dr. Volt Alessandro Arcade is also working to create profiles for the rest of MegaMan/RockMan series (4,5,6).
MegaMan 4 seems already done here and can be played right now:
https://itch.io/t/964182/project-mega-man-4
It's very interessting - his style and approach.

Merry Christmas everyone!

- Functionality: new camera control algorithm which will make sure that the game world is always at the view center no matter how players manipulate the camera. Much better viewing experience especially for top down games.

- Profile:
+ New profiles: Felix the Cat, Gradius, Burger Time
+ Improvement: new 3D Battle Scene for Final Fantasy
+ Fix bugs:
* Zelda 2: Fix bugs for Zelda 2 randomizer versions of game
* Simon Quest: wrong layer of church curtains
* DrMario: scores weren't displayed in 2 player modes
* Dragon Warrior I: dialog is invisible in default camera position
* Final Fantasy : some minor bugs

- Last but not least currently many games profile are being dead blocked because I can not play through the game. If you can and want to offer this kind of help, please contact me, the best way is via Discord server at https://discord.gg/2ZP6mRq

Hello everybody,

Thank you very much for the support so far. This is the motivation for me to keep working and adding support for more games. Your enjoyment of 3dSen is my happiness.

I don't have any hope or something like that but think it's fun to ask.

So you if want to give additional support for 3dSen, you could give the project a vote in the Steam Award Nomination.
Or simply drop a review :)

Thank you,
Geod
