Omg, man nice work

One question though: is it true that XBOX SDK maximum supported C++ standard is C++14? Because I (and many others) would like to switch to C++23 and potentially higher. And yes, it does matter.

not sure, probably depends on the xdk version, the newer the better, currently its c++ 11, if it works on modern and old compilers, i think you shouldnt change anything. You can install the 5 gb xdk to test changes if you need. i just added the media folder for people in case they want to build. also switching console version repo for latest c++ is not a good idea since it wouldnt build on the platforms it was designed to be played on. also why you put it as work in progress if i only did one thing, added the folder in case someone wants to build, no file edits were made outside of XboxMedia folder and its everything. nothing else was needed.

I assume the problem is the C++ standard library and Microsoft dropped support of that platform at some point?

So, my vision is this: we make the game playable, resolve problems and bugs, and optimize it on PC, then work on SDL3 port to make it truly cross platform and only then return to consoles support.

Keeping consoles support in the early days like as current is maintenance burden, not to mention the vast majority of players using PCs right now.

cmon, its just one folder. no other changes, then why are ps3, ps4 and durango platform specific folders intact if the focus is pc, this could open possibility to users to try building in the first place to test if their changes break anything console related, hence the name of the whole game is "Console Edition".
