This tool reads and writes memory from the game Journey and visualizes various values to help with learning or practicing Fancy Flying and/or speedrunning.
Caution
This tool is intended for PRACTICING Journey speedruns or fancy flying! It is forbidden and considered cheating to use this tool during actual speedruns.
- Displays the current accumulated boost, straight from the game's internals.
- Displays the current camera angle in degrees from the horizon (bottom left).
- Calculates the current possible maximum boost based on the camera angle (dark cyan progress bar).
- Displays the current possible maximum boost based on the game's internals (light cyan progress bar).
- Displays the remaining time until the camera flattens, from the game's internals (small circle).
- Optionally, evaluates flicking based on how much the camera rises during a flick.
- Has support for "save states" (store up to 10 states per level) to help practice a trick over and over again.
Note
Keyboard shortcuts only work with the tool in focus.
M- hold M and move the mouse to move the tool. Helpful instead of trying to click and drag somewhere on the tool.B- toggle the lighter cyan max boost bar that shows the current actual maximum boost possible.F- toggle flick evaluation. When enabled a message is briefly displayed after each flick, evaluating if the flick was bad, okay or great.Ctrl + 0, 1, 2, 3 ... 9- store the current wayfarer position, boost power, scarf length & scarf charge.0, 1, 2, 3 ... 9- restore a previously stored state.
This tool reads and writes to the memory of Journey (including injecting code!) using many built-in Windows APIs:
Save states are stored in %localappdata%/PeksasFancyFlyerTool/savestates.txt.
Code is injected into the game to get an accurate reading of the current maximum boost possible. This value normally only exists temporarily in the game as part of a calculation (not stored in memory), but the tool modifies the game's code while running to also store this value in memory.
Because of this fact, it's best to restart Journey after running this tool to ensure no modification of the game is left over (if the tool is shutdown cleanly, it tries to unload the code previously injected).
Many of the pointer paths used by this tool are/or build on the work by Paleologos who found many of these internal game values. Additionally, nathanj has helped with the pointer paths for the camera flattening timeouts and with testing of the tool.
