Great job on remastering this game! I can tell how much effort you put into it. The option to have an increased FOV is also really appreciated. I didn't figure out that you could run by pressing space until a few minutes into the game. The game itself (not just this remaster) is pretty monotonous, and repetitive, but that's no fault of your own, since you're just simply remastering the game, not remaking it. The base game was never all that fun, but it is really interesting, and creepy. Going to each world and seeing how you progress each day is also pretty neat.
Bless you for continued, if prolongued work on this project. As someone who adores LSD Dream Emulator, I can't wait for full release with Mod Tools! Still gonna continue playing in-dev though.
Works with wine version 8.19 staging for all the linux users. A native linux version would definitely be nice, but I wouldn't consider it critical to implement right now.
The menu select sound effect is pretty loud, and I think the textures could look a bit sharper, like what you could get from upscaling resolution in an emulator. Overall though, super promising and I'm glad someone is working on this!
update: no way, theres a linux version now! that is so very epic and cool
there isn't really much as of the currently available version because even though it has a higher frame rate and allows for FPS controls it does not have as much to do as the PS1 original.
i have owned this for maybe a year or 2 now, and so far i really do enjoy it. the music, the graphics, and just the feel of it are all peaceful and enjoyable. i found times where i leave the game on to enjoy the music, or just walk around really slowly, sinking in the visuals.
i do have one question though, are there any interactions as of right now in the game that were also in the original game ? if so, how do you trigger them ? if not, thats fine as well, just curious and willing to know if they will be added.
To be honest, I was once recommended a game with a concept similar to this one (walking game with art) but the art was just random stuff thrown around so, it really wasn't interesting to look at. When I read about the concept of your game, I was really worried that I might find something similar but hopefully, this experience was way more organized and coherent than the last one.
The visuals looked really interesting, and the controls felt really great so, it was a bliss to venture inside this awesome world! I know that you said in the description that this game is actually heavy inspired by an old PS1 game but still, props for this masterpiece!
Feedback (to go even further beyond!!!):
Hum. Nothing. I can't point out anything that should be enhanced. It's like... everything felt right, which is good lol. 😂
Last word:
That was great. Nothing more to say. I really hope you guys keep making great stuff! Congrats!
Hey man, I love that the idea that someone is (hopefully still) working on a modernised version of LSD. The thing that captivates me about this simple exploration 'game' is the randomness and that your interactive choices matter, with that sometimes calming and sometimes manic soundtrack in the background. But I have some parts to critique after my first dream, stemming back to my first experience playing this edition many months ago:
1. Maybe upgrade it a bit more from the low resolution Minecraft look, I mean you obviously have decent renders in your photo selections. It's not going to take a 4090 to run, it's PSX ported to a PC, but it doesn't mean that everything needs to have such a tiny and aliased texture base - that's a significant reason why people want it updated. I just didn't see this with max options.
2. Please add mouse support, one of the things I was really hoping was to use my mouse to look around with WASD to control basic movement like pretty much all games set on foot. You have implemented a control customisation menu but at best it felt just as clunky as the original - especially the movement going up or down that tower.
3. It's nowhere near as dynamic as the original, there are no NPCs or major texture changes as the dreams progress. But I understand this is yet to be implemented. Overall it feels a little bland wandering around for a bit before jumping off a cliff or something (literally).
Please don't let this discourage you, maybe you're too busy to work on it or have considered it final, but there are a lot of us who would love to see the game in a modern sense. But it just doesn't feel any better than trying to use an emulator to play it like what I used to do, so it's not quite accurate to call it 'revamped' - especially when a lot of the original content is taken away from. Not worth the 278mb compressed download IMO.

Been looking at this for quite some time. This is amazing.
