No idea why people doubt your abilites when your the guy who created Super Trump 64 back in 2016. No total amount of 3D modeling and coding knoweldge could beat that *wink* *wink*

it's not april 1st

Your work is phenomenal. Please keep up without getting distracted by the audience.

I don't doubt you can get this done, but if there is one overwhelming reason to release the source now it's Nintendo - do it before they shut you down!

Congrats on becoming a dad!

I didn't even know people were annoying you. Im anazed how fast you make high quality content myself

will we have to emulate n64 to run this on pc?

Is it just me or did his optimizations make the edges in the game more jagged? Either from having less anti-aliasing or being lower resolution.

theres game on this channel? i am just here for fun optimisations

I know very, very little about coding, even I have tried practice with HTML/CSS, Javascript, SQL, python, SourcePawn, MS-DOS bat scripting, Powershell script, Linux Bash script, Linux Sudo Commands, C++, C#, assembly code (CheatEngine and IDA for very old games) and now currently Visual Basic crap for AutoDesk Inventor ILogic. It is only tiny piece what I have learned of those previous practices, I can't do real programs without google search and stack overflow copy&paste codes. But I like to try because it is like my puzzle game, I get my satisfaction when succeeded. Looking your videos (and others) gives some fiction/ideas/understanding "out of box" what I have not tough. Keep working what you like to do, not what we like to see :D

Based dad. And sorry, but I cannot bring myself to care about your Mario fangame. I want you to succeed, but I don't want to play it. But if you make something completely original years later? I might care a lot.

Kaze I've been watching your nonsense for almost five years now and am continually engaged with the programming content you make, please know that you've got a core of people watching your stuff with no real expectations and who are just happy to see an enthusiastic dev share their learning journey. Also brother congrats on the baby!

kaze is the most ambitious yoshi I know

Legitimately made me tear up, like a geek. Your work has always been nothing short of inspiring. Mario 64 is a very important game to me personally, and I've always enjoyed the modding scene from afar-- How people can take this experience and make it their own. I've been following along since before the first chaos edition dropped. Every single time there's a new update on a project, it's always so exciting to see what you bring to the modding community. I can't believe the difference between the 2021 shot and 2024 textures, it's night and day! Take all the time you need and keep having fun with the dream. You are now officially THE COOLEST DAD. Take care of yourself and your family, we're all so happy for you. 🩵✨

7:42 Congratulations!

This video exudes such confidence in your craft, and I'm genuinely so excited to try this game. Big uppies!!

This nintendo cease and desist letter is going to go crazy.

We love optimizations here. If modern companies won’t do them, Kaze will.

Can you make a video addressing the legal sotuation? Are you not scared of Nintendo lawyers?

I love this mod, but I am super concerned about the possibility that it is on Nintendo's radar, especially with how lawsuit-happy they've been lately. In the event anything happens, I hope you have a plan. It would be an absolute travesty to see all this hard work go to waste.

>inb4 nintendo's lawyers

PLEASE don't release it before it's finished. The worst thing would be for Nintendo to strike it down on an unfinished version! Actually... Are you even worried about that?

Bro is the super mario 64 raid boss

I love to get new games for the old N64. When you come out with your game find someone to make a strategy guide for it Or a strategy guide that we can look up and print off the internet if we want.

I love SM64 swimming! Dont change it 😢

huge

You're a legend. Keep being awesome! It's honestly just nice to hear an update like this. 🙌 Better a good and finish game than a bad and incomplete game!!

In a time where we have whole-ass AAA game companies releasing broken garbage and acting like we should be grateful if they finally release a patch years later that finally makes their pondscum playable, why is it that some people's first instinct is to rush a small team working on a passion project like this in already thin spare time? And on top of that, then spreading doubt it'll ever release when said team has a proven track record? Congrats on becoming a dad, Kaze, we'll be here when you're ready.

I would love to see the new engine allow higher resolution output. Everything is starting to look kind of fuzzy with the fancy lighting effects now

What an absolute legend

Would you ever consider releaseing your game on an actual cartridge like they do for Everdrive etc? Considering the effort put into this I'd be more than happy to purchase a physical copy

ASM GOD

I would love to play your game and of course break it with all kinds of cool glitches 😋

TAKE A BREAK

This will look good as a resume based off of your own experience

It's probably been mentioned before, but will this game work on an N64 if we get it via a bootleg cart/flashcart?

Kaze God

This video is Kaze's ultimate portfolio

Things like this really show me how many poorly optimized games there were back in the 5th generation. I wonder how much more performance you could squeeze out of a lot of N64 games that ran at 20fps just because of how new 3D was for most developers.

Thank you for your contribution and Work. I do hope at least you’ll release the source code to the more optimized engine sooner or later because this could definitely bring in whole new life to not just Mario 64 but the Nintendo 64 as a hole.

The Ship of Theseus!

The only thing I'm worried about that could prevent the release of this game is a C&D from Nintendo after the demo undoubtedly gets a ton of publicity. Either way, congrats on becoming a dad! That kid is gonna grow into one heck of a skilled gamer.

When you are saying you are making your own N64 game do you mean RTYI ( which is in effect an original game ) or are you talking about an entirely different game you haven't even mentioned publicly yet?

Ignore haters we love these vids

Congrats on being a dad 😁✨

Pretty confusing message here. Nintendo owns all the Mario IP in the game you've been discussing but you are referring to "marketing" as if this is a commercial endeavor. I would be over the moon if Nintendo gave you the blessing to produce this game and it was a commercial release but currently it still sounds like a non-profit fan project. Nothing wrong with that either, I work on one too ( The Dark Mod ) but if it's not an official commercial game then why the great need to distinguish your "project" from Mario 64 modding in general? Your optimization work speaks for itself and it's clear that whatever "Mario Game" you are creating will be of the highest quality so there's no way anyone would mistake your project for "just another Mario 64 rom hack" (etc). Are you working on a game that does not include Mario or any Nintendo IP?

eternal development limbo

You your going places bro good luck on your own game dude it's cool you and other peolpe helping you never give up in what you like doing. I bet what ever you have in store I bet you come with something that Nintendo never achieved plus your engine bet will make to were people can make there own n64 games from ground up.
