Welcome to Splatoon-Raiders-PC – a fan-inspired, desktop-native adaptation of the beloved Nintendo aesthetic, re-engineered for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This is not an emulator, not a ROM, and not a copy. This is a reimagination: a vibrant, cross-platform turf-war experience built from the ink up.
Think of it as Splatoon meets a Swiss Army knife for creative chaos: performance-tuned for keyboard and mouse, yet respectful of the original's chaotic charm. The result? A "colorful-shooter" that feels like painting a battlefield rather than firing bullets.

- 🖥️ Responsive UI – Scales from 720p to 8K. Dynamic HUD adapts to screen real estate. No more tiny text on ultra-wide monitors.
- 🌍 Multilingual Support – Full localization in 12+ languages (including Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic RTL). Community translations welcome.
- 🎮 Cross-Platform Play – Windows, macOS, and Linux players can splat together. No walled gardens.
- 🎨 "Colorful-Shooter" DNA – No blood, no gore. The only health bar is your ink tank. The only score is your turf coverage.
- 🛠️ 24/7 Community Support – Dedicated Discord with live moderators, bot-assisted ticketing, and a wiki that updates weekly.

- Match Analysis: Post-game, an LLM-powered assistant breaks down your ink coverage, movement patterns, and special usage. Learn where you overextended.
- Creative Mode: Describe a new weapon ("a brush that leaves a trail of glow-in-the-dark ink") and the AI will generate stats, a visual concept, and a JSON mod file.
- Voice Strategy: During pre-lobby, Claude can summarize team composition and suggest formation changes based on opponents’ loadouts.
- Chat Moderation: Claude filters toxic language in real-time without false-positives on slang or creative insults (e.g., "you're a soggy sponge" is allowed; "you're a worthless clam" is flagged).
No bloated launcher. No telemetry. Just a binary.
# Navigate to install directory
cd ~/Splatoon-Raiders-PC
# Launch with custom parameters (optional)
./splatoon-raiders --resolution 2560x1440 --server eu-central-1 --profile competitive
# For first-time setup
./splatoon-raiders --setup-wizardThe setup wizard will auto-detect your GPU, test network NAT type, and calibrate ink physics to your refresh rate.
