๐Ÿš€ 3dSen PC v1.0 is Here โ€“ A Dream 10 Years in the Making

3 min read Original article โ†—

I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m writing thisโ€ฆ but here we are.

After more than 10 years of solo development โ€” countless late nights, mysterious bugs, painful rewrites, and yes, constant back pain โ€”
3dSen PC has officially exited Early Access! ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ’ก It All Started With a Crazy Idea

โ€œWhat if you could play classic NES games โ€” not just emulated โ€” but reimagined, rebuilt, and experienced in full 3D?โ€

Not just flat layers. Not parallax tricks.
But fully reconstructed 3D environments, built from classic 2D sprites โ€” all while keeping the gameplay exactly as you remember it.

That idea became an obsession.
One game, one profile, one breakthrough at a time โ€” until it finally all came together.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ A Journey Fueled by Curiosity, Stubbornness, and a Love for the Craft

  • Supporting both VR and flat-screen PC meant solving everything twice โ€” and discovering twice the magic.

  • I even experimented with the Looking Glass holographic display, just to see how far the idea could stretch.

  • From day one, I supported Windows, Linux, and macOS โ€” and I still do.
    Many developers dropped Mac or Linux over the years, but Iโ€™ve stuck with them because everyone deserves access, no matter their platform.

  • Getting modern features like rollback, rewind, and fast-forward to work on top of a 3D NES engine was an interesting challenge โ€” but one that paid off in the end.

  • Moving from itch.io to Steam brought new challenges โ€” and a much wider audience.

But the real fuel behind this journey has always been you โ€” the community.

Your support, bug reports, encouragement, modding experiments, and even your criticisms โ€” theyโ€™re what kept me going during the tough times.

๐ŸŒŸ 3dSenMaker & Community Profiles

Another dream came true when I released the 3dSenMaker tool โ€” which allows anyone in the community to create and share their own 3D game profiles.

Like the official ones, community-made profiles are also handcrafted, and many of them are incredible.
