Hello everyone!
I'm someone who absolutely loved Stranded II as a kid. This game holds a special place in my heart, and I have so many fond memories of playing it.
Recently, I felt like playing a deserted island survival game again. But even in 2026, I found it surprisingly difficult to find a game that captures the same feeling as Stranded II.
Unfortunately, when I tried running the original game on a modern system, it didn't work very well. The 50 FPS cap made the gameplay feel awkward, and switching to another window with Alt-Tab and returning to the game caused texture corruption. (After looking into it, I found that other players in the community were experiencing similar issues.)
These weren't particularly difficult problems from a technical standpoint. The real challenge was the sheer number of things that needed to be fixed.
For example, fixing the frame rate issue isn't as simple as removing the
20mslimit. The update timing of every entity also needs to be adjusted to work correctly with variable frame rates.
Doing all of this manually would take a considerable amount of effort, and modifying so much code also carries the risk of introducing new bugs. Thankfully, recent advances in AI made this process much easier.
I'm really happy to share that many known issues have now been fixed, and the game runs smoothly on modern Windows systems!
I've also added language selection support, and anyone can contribute translations. Several other bugs have been fixed as well.
For now, my primary goal is to make the original game run smoothly on modern systems.
Some ideas for the future include multiplayer support, improved procedural generation, and gameplay balance and content improvements. However, none of these plans are confirmed yet.
