Like always I don't know where or how to start. This is like the 10th attempt to give form my thoughts in the way that they make sense. A sc....ew that.
Probably all of you are thinking: how did we end in this place we are right now? I myself asked the same question for the last few months and I blame this guy:
I was so stupid to fall into his trap. Filip, I want to believe that you are proud of yourself. Because of you in the last few months, I spent a lot more time on that project than I should. This was supposed to be developed in a stress-free manner without deadlines and thanks to you it turned out into a long sprint to deliver.
And mark my words I held my side of the deal: October you getting an update. Let's skip the part that I'm doing it with style. Stretching it to the limit and publishing on the last day of the month, in the evening, just before midnight.
I'm releasing a video in the same month as the 25th Anniversary of the game. I think we can count it as a celebration? Any complaints?
And I don't care if you think that it is absurd that an adult person cares about some comment he wrote under some other comments. Remember that the same person spent the last 9 years of his life to develop what you will see.
Since we talking about the stuff I've worked on, here you have it:
Now that you finished watching, some of you may think: why all these changes?
Because I can, because I want, because LBA design was cool when it was released. But it has aged a lot over the past 25 years. This is a fact that I have fully embraced and decided to free myself from shackles of the original design and do a deep dive into the unknown. What you see in the video is a result of this decision:
My own twisted interpretation of the original Little Big Adventure.
If you like my vision, share it with others. Lets spread the word that Little Big Adventure is not dead and even after all this years, it can still look sexy and has a lot to offer.
The last but not least important share what you think about it, what was your reaction when you saw it? I'm really curious to hear if you were disappointed or impressed or whatever else happened? Guys this is a result of the last two years of my life (+7 before content restart) so I'd like to hear some of your thoughts :D
Greg
Awesome game!
ReplyDeletecrazy ! will the game be available soon?
ReplyDeleteStill work in progress :] So I would not expect this in next few months.
DeleteHi dude, I'm a fashion designer, an artist, and a gamer and gaming intusiast, I wanna help you if you need something, expecially about the items, sets, weapons, etc, I have a lot of Ideas to share and even help you with artwork if you need, LBA was the best game of my childhood and I'm here to help you make this perfect
DeleteGreetings from Norway!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. Great work, been following for a few years now, and your tenacity is admirable.
Hi, thanks a lot I trying my best.
DeleteI love it !!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!I just bumped on this page. Are You working alone? Someone helps You? I think this is a lot of work! Patreon? I would give You a few, since I love those games! You Pol? Your last name looks like Pol.
ReplyDeleteHi, great that you found your way here.
DeleteTo answer you questions:
I work alone on it. In the same time I get support from few friends that giving me some advises, sharing their opinion about my work and doing some couching in areas that I'm still relatively bad and they are good.
This is fan project and one of conditions to have approval from original creators is not to earn money from it. They have all the right to IP and it would be also not fair from my side to do this (Direct result of this is that there is no Patreon or any other crowd funding)
Lastly yes I'm Polish :]
This looks absolutely incredible! LBA2 was one of my favourite childhood games and it fills me with such joy to see it finally get the remaster it deserves. Keep up the good work and take all the time you need :)
ReplyDeleteWell this is still in development stuff so I know that when I will finish it will look even better :] for now I trying to bring every piece together to form playable game :]
DeleteYou my friend, have no idea how much this game means to me and my younger brother, we played back in 1999 in our first pc, was a intel pentium 3. This game made our days magical and full of rich adventures, made who we are today, thank you a lot, can't wait to play again. Thanks for your hard work.
ReplyDeleteI would like that when I finish: more people will have the same feeling about remake and LBA universe.
DeleteNice work! Thanks for doing it :) I would play a full version of it
ReplyDeleteThis make two of us :] sadly there is still a lot of work to do.
DeleteMan, I can't belive in it. This is so awesome.
ReplyDeleteWell it is still work in progress and should look only better :]
DeleteHey. I am writing from Russia. I remember not so long ago I went through both parts.
ReplyDeleteImpresses your remake. Very cool. I wish you success in your work.
Hey, I'm glad that you like it and trying my best to make it even better than what you see in this video.
DeleteIt is always impressive for me how much this games have sentimental value for a lot of people. (No pressure on me doing remake of it)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more of your progress! Stay safe and healthy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I working on new content so if everything will go right I should have something for LBA2 birthday event 30 May.
DeleteHi, you are awesome) Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks but I'm just normal guy who doing it bast to make game:]

ReplyDeleteGood afternoon, I'm talking about Brazil. Can you tell us what part of the game you are in already? Do you have any idea when the game might launch?
Right now I still experimenting with gameplay and story telling. Sounds like not big problem when I have original game but truth is that I want to push it further to make even better experience.
DeleteRegards launch I still don't know. But if I will know I will announce it for sure.
I really love this, greetings from Chile!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear this.
DeleteSuch a great project! I'm a huge fan, played those games again and again
ReplyDeleteI have a couple questions ��
Do you intend to follow the same story or a complete new one ? Same characters?
Are you going to hire voice actors? Can we expect this game this year?
Hi,thanks @Topology I trying my best. I will also happily answer your questions:
DeleteRemake follow story of LBA1. You will meet the same characters, explore the same locations and main plot will be there. But ... In the same time I plan to add a lot of new content. Main plot will be expanded, to explore will be whole islands with new places that you never seen in original game. I plan to add also new side quests and interesting details about world.
Voice acing is still unknown. I won't say yes or no.
The last one I will answer we will see. There is a lot happening in my life this days related to project and not. This make hard to do any planning.
Holy shit! I was talking right now with a friend of mine how LBA2 and Super Mario Odyssey share so many similarities. I refuse to believe that's just coincidence. Twinsen's Odyssey still figure on my favorite and beloved game from mais whole life. Im 34yo now and this games continues beautiful for me, nothing to mention de soundtrack that a I have on my cell phone. And saw your video doing this beautiful remake! Please, don't stop to doing that! If you open a Patreon or Kickstarter sure will be a success, and will be my pleasure to contribute.
ReplyDeleteI've made a few topics of similarities between the two games:
- Both have separate worlds
- When traveling by boat, there was an animation in Twinsen - Traveling from Odyssey, there is animation of the ship
- Dino-Fly Dinosaur = Odyssey Ship
- To proceed with the game needs to cure the Dino-Fly - Mario also needs repairthe Odyssey ship to continue
- Going to the Moon, Odyssey falls into the lost world. Flying to the Moon, the ship falls on Zeelich with Jeronimo Baldino
- Moon leve (Never had a Moon in Mario franchise). Prevent Reactor from being activated on the Moon.
- Changing Twinsen's tunics - Changing Mario's clothes
- Mario and Twinsen = Final animation all characters gathered to celebrate.
- Final enemy Twinsen: Funfrock - Final enemy Mario: Bowser
Keep doing this great Job! Contratulations from Brazil!!
Hi, I never player Super Mario Odyssey so I cannot really say to much regards similarities but if you found them then they are there.
DeleteI'm not owner of right to IP so I doing stuff for free. So no Patreon / Kickstarter. But for now still continue with project and working on some really exciting content now.
Dude when i saw this movie first time with this music I almost cried . So many memories .I Just want to thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThis is always hearth warming to hear that my work bringing a lot of good memories. I want to believe that when I will finish with it it will add a lot more of them.
