After some (partial, it was a very big challenge) success in patching LKS, he again contacted me for Trails of Cold Steel 1.

I never heard back from other people after that, but Ken went along with it without any issues.

I had been contacted a few times before, and I said the same thing I said every time: 'Sure, but I need the source code and here's my hourly rate'. One day I got an email from Ken Berry of XSEED, asking me whether I could help them in any way with their troubled port of Little King's Story. I don't think there's a generally accepted path to doing that, but I can tell you what happened to me. I've finished my final pass through this thread now, thanks again for all the interesting questions! I'll have another look through the thread tomorrow, so if you have a new and interesting question then do still go ahead and post it, you'll just have to wait a bit ) It's been 3 hours of non-stop answering and it's 01:30 here now, so I'll sign off for today. I'm looking forward to answering any questions regarding modding, the differences between that and working on games professionally, our past projects, today's Ys VIII patch, the ToCS3 porting process, and - of course - anything else!

The second project is the PC port of Trails of Cold Steel 3, which will be released on the 24th of March on Steam and GoG, with the same quality, features and enhancements that people enjoyed in ToCS1 and 2. This free update is live right now on Steam and GoG.

It greatly improves graphical quality options, increases performance stability, improves mouse/keyboard controls, fixes several bugs, and has an experimental bonus feature that I don't think anyone expected (including people involved with the project!): local coop! The first project is a major update for Ys VIII. In late 2018, I co-founded PH3 games, and today we can finally announce our first two large-scale projects! I also made GeDoSaTo, a generic downsampling tool, which was basically Nvidia DSR / AMD VSR before those existed.Īfter starting to work in games professionally, I ported Trails of Cold Steel 1 and its sequel to PC. My name is Peter Thoman, and if you followed PC game modding in the past you may know me as Durante.Īs a hobbyist modder I created DSfix, a mod for Dark Souls on PC enabling arbitrary resolution rendering and other graphical improvements, several other mods, and some technical modding guides.
