## Highlights
**Up to 8K**
Render at up to 7680 x 4320, with presets from Supersample to Ultra Performance that match your screen. 		**60 fps and beyond**
The Xbox 360 version ran at 30 fps. Pick 60, 120, 144, 165, 240 or unlimited, and the game still runs at its normal speed. 		**Xbox 360 style achievements**
A pop-up with a sound every time you unlock one, just like the console. Choose the sound in the launcher.
**The full game, unlocked**
Xbox Live Arcade games shipped as trials that you unlocked by buying them. That is no longer possible, so the full game is unlocked for you. 		**Your controls, your way**
Invert the camera, change its speed, set a deadzone, remap any button, adjust vibration, or play with keyboard and mouse. 		**Ready to play**
Unzip, run, and install the game from your own package in the launcher. Updates arrive with one click.
## Why this port? Isn't there already a PC version? There is, but it is not this game. The original *Outpost Kaloki* came out on PC in 2004. A year later NinjaBee released **Outpost Kaloki X** on Xbox 360: a bigger, better version that the PC game never received. | | PC *Outpost Kaloki* (2004) | Xbox 360 *Outpost Kaloki X* (2005) | | --- | --- | --- | | Levels | the original set | **more than twice as many** | | Story campaigns | one | **two**: Adventure Story and War Story | | Scenarios | fewer | **11**, including The Eight-Port Challenge, The Hammer and Survival | | Challenges | none | **time challenges** with gold medal times | | Graphics | original | **improved** | | Achievements | none | **12** | | Made for | mouse and keyboard | **a controller** | Until now the only way to play it was on an Xbox 360 or an emulator. This port keeps it playable on modern PCs. ## The launcher Everything is set up before the game starts. The launcher uses art from your own copy of the game: its icon, its achievement pictures and its title screen. Settings are saved to a plain text file, `outpost_kaloki_x.toml`, next to the game.

Download **OutpostKalokiX-v...-windows-x64.zip** from the [latest release](https://github.com/TekRantGaming/outpost-kaloki-x-recompiled/releases/latest) and unzip it anywhere. 2. Run **outpost_kaloki_x.exe**. The launcher opens. 3. On the **Play** page click **Install from package...** and pick your package. Its files are copied into a `game` folder next to the program. 4. Press **PLAY**. **Linux:** download **OutpostKalokiX-v...-linux-x86_64.AppImage** instead, make it executable (right-click > Properties > Permissions, or `chmod +x`), run it and install from your package the same way. The game files, settings and logs go next to the AppImage. **Updates:** when the launcher opens it checks this repository's releases and offers new versions (About page: **Updates**). Your game files, saves and settings are kept. **No game files are included.** The download is only the port: the game's files come from your own package.
Building by hand (for developers) ```powershell .\setup.ps1 -Package "C:\path\to\Outpost Kaloki X" # downloads the SDK, unpacks your game, translates the code okx\build.bat okx-release # compiles .\tools\package_windows.ps1 -Version v1.1.0 # optional: the release zip in dist\ ``` `Build Outpost Kaloki X.bat` does the first two steps in one go, installing the build tools if needed. For Linux, run `tools/build_appimage.sh v1.1.0` in Linux or WSL after `setup.ps1`. The finished game is in `okx\out\build\okx-release`. Point it at your game files with `--game_data_root`, or copy them into a `game` folder next to the exe. Technical notes on every fix are in [NOTES.md](NOTES.md).
