Making Portal For The Wii U

Miss opportunity to aim with the Wii u game pad for hilarious historical accuracy with Wii u gaming 😂

Oh crap that would have been amazing

Found you from the "Wii Are Resorting to Violence" videos. You make some good stuff here man, keep it up!

portal is slowly becoming valves version of DOOM

[@philisntcool.]

this is actually really cool, even if you didnt exactly succeed you still did well, good job.

[@thedevatlas]

thanks, i think i could have done better, but i needed to move on :)

[@grubasekpl9254]

ok im 2 minutes into the video and i already have something to say, portal 64 was taken down by valve not due to him usin their ip, but because of him using nintendo stuff for rendering, and source engine models are so easy to rip, there probalby would be like 0 issues from that

[@thedevatlas]

Remember I am still using the Wii u sdk from Nintendo, remember the source of the takedown for Portal 64 was the N64 sdk

[@TeraByte38]

Dude. I wanted to make Portal for the Wii U. But I also wanted to port the Source engine for the Wii U, so that it wouldn't be a remake, but a port. Portal U and SoUrce Engine (and maybe Portal TwU)

[@pacomatic9833]

That'd be cooler. Ad super hard.

[@benjaming7219]

​@@pacomatic9833This may not be as hard as it appears at first brush. Remember that the switch got the portal companion cube collection, meaning theres an implementation of the source engine on ARM. Moving that down to PowerPC may not be the most complicated process.

​@@benjaming7219Arm RISC and PowerPC RISC is quite a lot different if im not remembering wrong doe also source engine is quite cpu heavy which wii u kinda lacks it (minus its supporting out of order unlike ps360)

[@GAMES_OF_YGONE]

Portal Wii U existed since last year before you made it. But it’s still in alpha.

I love the concept, watched video whole, keep doing it!

thanks!

[@mariobot128]

if you like this concept i recommend you check out the source macchiato team which already have a functioning alpha

[@DeltaC79]

Can’t wait for Nintendo to dmca this too

[@kreuner11]

nintendo didn't dmca portal 64, valve requested because they might get in trouble with nintendo for using the official n64 libraries

[@rm_steele]

​@@kreuner11 also because they couldn't really track sales and copies even if Lambert shifted the project to the open source render library

[@Ksescel]

Why didn’t you use motion to look around like cod

[@rattmanthestupid]

This is reallly cool. Another way to up the performance is if you turn off all cameras that the player can't see. Like, if a portal is out of the player's pov, then turn off that camera. Also, if you werent using it before, occlusion culling is another fantastic (and easy) way to increase performance. Obviously, adding this stuff would take quite a bit of time and effort (which is something you didn't have as you said in the video). But hey, if you ever decide to revisit this project, maybe try adding this stuff and see if it runs better.

[@masonwillis2072]

Bro i cant wait you're insane for doing this

[@Someone69769]

THAT'S SO COOOL!! Keep cooking

[@DraggadonsDen]

How much extra work would you say it is to make something run on a Wii U? That machine is pretty weak.

[@thedevatlas]

Good question, it depends on what you are making. This project needed multiple cameras and that provides a lot of overhead. If you're making a normal game like Tetris you could get away with doing almost anything and still have all of the frame right there

[@AmaroqStarwind]

The Wii U is technically slightly more powerful than the XBox 360 and PS3, while running on a similar CPU architecture. And the PS3 could handle Portal just fine.

[@Luigi_bros4321]

I mean, if it runs on the switch, it should run on the Wii U

[@Lacklusta]

This has been done!! It was done by the source macchiato team and it’s really good

[@sourcemacchiato]

Thanks :> but portal does not belong to us. Even if it would have been cool if he specified it in his video, his video remains very interesting and we like it ^^

[@Lacklusta]

@@sourcemacchiato 👍I meant that you had created a wii u "port" of portal already

[@pacomatic9833]

Guys hear me out If Wii U can run the ever-bloated Unity, then we can have Godot 4 on Wii U. Which means bigger games on Wii U!

[@somerandomgoanimator1820]

godot would run awfully on the wii u. especially considering an 8 year old version of unity that can run decently on windows xp cant even run very well. also godot 4 is much newer and better than this version of unity, and the wii u is like 12 years old now.

​@@somerandomgoanimator1820Not the mention Wii U technically had weaker cpu than ps360 (minus its supporting out of order execution but that doesnt make it more powerfull)

[@maxniftynine]

lol me and some people I know already were working on a project like this, even with the same portal code (at least the first one)! That’s cool

[@GaypataponALT]

Suggestion: Patapon on the wii or 3ds

[@acorngnome]

3:57 Joycon?

[@thedevatlas]

Pfft, didn't notice that, oops :)

[@mr.pigeon0]

you should have worked with the source macchiato team...

[@SjorsMaster]

bro literally went like "I took someone else's project and replaced the assets!" next level stack overflow copy paste

[@thedevatlas]

No, you should watch the video and look at the code. The whole point was to put it on the Wii u and fix problems that I came across

[@PlaystationTaxation69999]

I think it would be very nice if you took some tutorials from Masahiro Sakurai.

[@BooTube5]

this is SICK Omg! subbed :3

[@SuperCaitball]

This project is not long for this world. Gaben and Furukawa are on their way to your doorstep.

[@HANDLE_MISSING]

This Is Impressive, But where did you find a tutorial For This?

[@thedevatlas]

I didn't, I just have been winging it with the Wii u stuff and learning as I go. I know thats not a satisfactory answer but ya know ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Is this gonna get released?

Probably not for copyright reasons:(

Hey man the last 30 seconds or so seem to be missing from the video!

I'd be careful, valve has been super litigious about Portal for some reason lately.

[@SuperCaitball]

no seriously, Portal 64 got shut down for doing the exact same thing you're doing, expect to get shut down

[@FroztYcle4737]

No it got shut down for using an N64 Library from Nintendo. If valve would have gotten involved with portal64 by embracing the project, Nintendo would be on Valve's ass because of the development software which Nintendo made for N64. This however, is a full on custom project using his and valve's own assets, rather than using Nintendo's development software and library's.

[@pacomatic9833]
