Introduction
Speedy Blupi (Epsitec): a 2D action game released by the Epsitec company in 1998 and 2001 for Windows platform (finished). Speedy Blupi (Dada Games): a game created and released by Daniel Roux in 2013 for the Windows Phone platform (finished)Free Eggbert is a free and open-source game, that brings Speedy Blupi game to life in a modern way using the C++ (programming language) and SDL 3 (cross-platform software development library).
- Multiple platforms are planned to be supported: Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, Web (via Emscripten)
- Used technologies: C++ (programming language), CNA (game library), SDL 3 (game library)
- Current status: In development
- Decompiled version of Speedy Eggbert II (its EXE file was decompiled) (in progress)
- XNA 4.0 game engine is no more developed and was replaced by its alternative implementations: MonoGame and FNA.
- Mobile Eggbert now runs on Windows, Linux, Android and in the web browser. But the Android version has still some issues.
What is planned for the future
- I (Robert Vokac) will study reverse engineering of Speedy Blupi EXE files by learning the x86 instruction set and using tools like Ghidra and IDA, and I have just purchased a comprehensive book on the subject.
- XNA will be reimplemented in C++ as a SDL 3 wrapper.
- All 3D models in Speedy Blupi will be recreated using Blender.
- The Speedy Blupi Windows version will feature new image assets rendered in Blender, with the game running at 60 FPS, which requires three times more frames than the original, necessitating source code changes.
- The color depth for the Speedy Blupi Windows version will be updated to 24-bit, phasing out 8-bit and 16-bit colour depth.
- The block size for textures will be increased to 256x256 pixels, replacing the original 64x64 resolution.
- All WAV sound files in Speedy Blupi will be recreated using Audacity or a similar tool, with some sounds recorded using a microphone. It’s possible that some sounds in the game include the voice of Daniel Roux.
- All MIDI music files in Speedy Blupi will be recreated using probably the application Microsoft Music Producer
- A 3D version of Speedy Blupi and Speedy Blupi II (named Galaxy Eggbert) will be developed using the Ogre 3D library, C++ programming language, and 3D models created in Blender.
Name origin
The name "Open Eggbert" is not "Open Blupi", because "Blupi" is the registered trademark of Epsitec company. (link)Open is the first word in the name, because Open Eggbert is open-source.
Speedy Eggbert is no more a registred trademark and this is reason, why the second word in the name is "Eggbert"
