"PSX is now supported in the new engine! 

 There are still a few minor glitches to work out. I'm not using the GTE at all. Once that is implemented, it should lead to a significant performance boost."

  

About this new game engine is built around a clever level-of-detail technique: nearby objects are rendered as highly detailed polygon meshes that can dynamically split into smaller shapes, while distant ones are progressively merged into larger, simpler forms. These shapes are not limited to being coplanar, which allows for more natural geometry. The developer calls this approach “SuperQuads".

Alongside this, the engine incorporates practical gameplay features such as camera collision, physics for grabbing and holding objects, and floating platforms. Higher performance is expected in the long term because the GTE is not being fully exploited! NATP proves that, with precise and purposeful programming, it’s possible to achieve visually impressive results.

NAPT is also being ported to the Sega Saturn, N64, 3DO and Dreamcast. 

 

For more information, you can read an interview with the developer. It was conducted in 2021 on the website Shiro! Also, they did a post in 2025 about the news about his new engine for the Sega Saturn.
