@@bahshasNo, it's not. Senior designer is an actual title-something HR would use. Lead designer is a functional title in context to a project, account, campaign, etc. Being a lead designer doesn't mean you're a senior designer. But being a senior designer, you're (hopefully) more often than not going to be a lead designer for something.

That work on the cutscene is extremely impressive and looks like it came right out of the show, it's amazing to see how long you've come from the first cutscenes you did!

​@@KE-yq2egYou don't know what you're saying. Embarrassing.

you can replicate the effect from the simpsons game from ps3, by making a clone of the original model, and reverse the normals, and make it slightly bigger, then inside the code, enable POLYGON CULLING, and add a black texture to the reversed model, and then you'll have the outlines, and as for the shading it's called cellsahding, considering it's an old opengl (or similar 3d engine) I don't think there are shaders that could handle something like that shading.

Ah yes, the Okami Method of outline making. Done well, it's a hell of an effect and requires no complex shader reprogramming, but you have to be very careful when making the "inverse hull" model. Can't just slap a decimal scale modifier on and call it a day, concave parts will no longer line up properly until you make manual adjustments...

If they look into how Wind Waker did cel shading they should be able to replicate it. It's basically a simple line of code that defines a cutoff point in the soft shadow calculation and then tells it to fill in that area with a flat amount of shading.

i think when they add the HUD elements it will really tie it together

I think the cel-shading as you have it applied now has its pros and cons. I think the outlines are definitely the big thing missing - especially considering all the NPCs' noses essentially disappear if you look at them straight on with that cel shading. I think if you could get the outlines working or find some other creative solution, the cel shading would be great!

Increible trabajo, ojala todos los jugadores te admiren por el proyecto que has creado

i hope he releases this wonderful mod since i dont think ea really cares about it cause its a fanmade mod and most of ea titles on old games have shader mods anyways

While EA probably owns the game code & assets, artwork .etc - they have zero control whatsoever over the Simpsons IP. It's one of the reasons game preservation is so difficult - plenty of games as products contain other creative works & intellectual property subject to extremely limited & defined commercial licencing agreements. Why do you think it took forever to get any kind of Goldeneye 64 re-release despite decades of clamour for it - while Perfect Dark got a HD remaster within its first decade.

@@MetalPopka Obviously fingers crossed, Disney isn't known for avoiding filing frivolous lawsuits, but since this mod would potentially be mostly a texture pack requiring a full copy of the game to play it, we should be fine. Bit worried about the borrowed 3D models from other Simpsons games potentially...

The cel shading is absolutely the way to go for the main characters. If you want to add it for the NPC’s too, it might be useful to watch one of the several excellent videos on how Zelda Wind Waker’s lightning works. Basically it uses normal shading but then determines the highest and lowest brightness areas and instead of a gradient between them makes a hard line that divides them. If this would end up requiring some extra programming, it might be worth it to try to consult some other 6th gen console modders?

This is gonna be badass

Your work is truly incredible. Not many people, even big-name devs go to the effort to recreate a show's look and feel as faithfully as this. I will always love this game. Yes, some parts were hard, and it certainly wasn't without its glitches, but Simpsons H&R's atmosphere and exploration were lots of fun. Glad to see people remember it as fondly as I do. P.S. Ooh, that little teaser at the end though! (I love Courage)!

the amount of motivation and commitment you have for this is insane to me, thanks so much.

Marge with Shadow in that screenshot with Homer looks WAY better than without. Just giving my input but I feel like when you work on something for so long you start seeing it in a very different way to fresh eyes and to fresh eyes the with shadow looks far better

@nanevak

I agree with you. Although I can understand his dilemma too. Shadows were introduced in the Simpsons movie and the show implemented it since. No shadow simpsons are the original while the ones with shadowed textures are the new upgraded designs. So the dilemma is: should the game have old simpsons episodes feeling to it or the new simpsons episodes feeling

Fantastic work! Happy 20th Anniversary to Hit & Run!! I had so much fun playing this game over and over when I was a kid! It's still one of my favorite childhood games!!

La rotoscopia de la intro se ve muy limpia, buen trabajo ♥

As always, the reanimated cutscenes are the most impressive part. Incredible.

This game was also a big part of my childhood! I remember playing on my older brother's save since he unlocked all the levels and just playing around in each level 😂 I Love this game and you're doing a fantastic job honoring it!

god this remaster project is so awesome, keep up the work

shading on the characters on billboard is a great idea, also its amazing how good your cutscenes look. if i didnt know i'd assume it was an official remaster.

Absolutely awesome work! I’ve been watching this project from day one: the work behind this and the improvements you’ve made are insane! I love how everything is coming along :)

Incredible work, thank you for doing this!

Insane work, thank you for your efforts! Keep it up man

Honestly, converting an entire 3D animated cutscene to 2D must be incredibly hard work, especially the intro cutscene where the camera flies around the house. I commend you for it!

love the content man been watching the past year, 4:38 sorry if it doesn't help but when I was messing with cel shading outline shaders and post processing was what I was looking at to help with the outlines with the cel shading to get rid of the flat look so try looking for shader outlines or the post processing options you get with blender or whatever 3d modeller your using, have a awesome day man keep up the content!

Wow! Amazing job on the animation! and the project overall looks amazing, can't wait to try it one day

Really great job. Your animations are really impressive.

If there's any way you can start a Patreon or already have one, I think you could do great things with this Labor of love you have going.

Excellent job! I can't remember any big negatives, but I really liked how it felt like you were exploring Springfield. That's something you couldn't get as much from just watching the show.

you're ALWAYS uploading progress reports man. the commitment! huge applause and keep it up! 🎉

Super exciting. I don't know if I will catch it on Saturday before I go to work.

We are still playing this 20 years later wow and also I like the fun missions and cutscenes and story. Sometimes the game can be repetitive and really hard but I like that for its and now it still holds up any day.

can't wait for this, looking better and better each time

Impresionante, de los mejores trabajos de remasterizacion que he visto :0000

The shadows on the cel shading is actually really easy to do, at least in Blender. You basically have the regular lighting output get plugged into something like a color ramp set to linear, and then adjust the handles to control the amount of shading. Anything above a certain brightness will be the light color, and anything below a certain brightness is the darker color. It gives you the really nice clean lines between the colors like a real cel would have. For the outlines, maybe look into something called the "inverted hull" method.

Great job m8, love your passion!

The music in barts level when you enter that one area makes me feel relaxed.

Such dedication, im really impressed with your skill and passion man !

My brother and I grew up with this game! It was of our first PS2 games too. It’s amazing to see how much thought u have put into this :)

Wow! Your new animations look fantastic!

it wasnt in the original game but an okami-esque outline around the characters/objects would really give a solid feel to it. youre doing amazing things here

Nice work as usual! Happy 20th to this game!

this is so good cuz it allows a newer generation to experience a classic like this

20 years later, and this game definitely has the right be called one of the best Simpsons games ever made, even if some missions were a bit too hard.

Hermano no paro de repetirte lo mismo Pero lo que te estás currando el mod no tiene sentido! Me alegra que sigas con esto, ya quiero ver el resultado ^^

Eres increíble amigo me encantan tus videos eres grande gracias por este maravilloso trabajo de verdad ❤

I always enjoyed the interactivity and references from the show.

You are a god among men! Incredible work

You're doing a great job! There is something really special about this game. Only thing I dislike is getting stuck on hard missions. I'm stuck on 'Never Trust a Snake' at the moment.

It's amazing what you're doing. I personally prefer your take of bringing it closer to the TV/Movie animation both for cutscenes and in-game models, so I much prefer the cel-shaded look and the simpler and cleaner grass texture. But I guess it's either impossible or very difficult to implement the black outlines. I can't imagine how they did it in, say, Dragon Quest VIII, it seemed like sorcery to me back when it was released on PS2 and still does to this day.

Grass looks amazing!

This is phenomenal

as a long time fan of this game im impressed good work on it yo

Happy 20th anniversary Hit & Run, and thanks for all your continued work so far Gato 🙏 I do prefer the new grass "Noyb Magacine", I assumed it would be Moyb as in how a Fat Tony would pronounce Mob but magazine is definitely supposed to be spelled with a Z

Increíble trabajo!!!...y ahora quede intrigado por la escena post créditos D:

This looks INCREDIBLE and you should be unbelievably proud! The Simpsons Hit & Run remains one of, if not my absolute, favourite game! I know that it has it's flaws but I honestly struggle to think of anything that I dislike about the game off of the top of my head :)

I love that "Weird" magazine's face in HD!

This is one of my favorite pS2 games. Awesome

Great work!

These look really good. Upscaling textures by hand must be very hard and tedious work. And I commend you for that.

Excelente trabajo, muy detallista y fiel a la serie, me encanta, mis felicitaciones, saludos desde Uruguay 😀

Cell shade style is perfect to me 👌🏻

That opener animation 👌

I really think all the effort you put into your projects is commendable, keep it up and you'll forever be remembered as the guy who made the best remakes and nostalgic animated games. By the way, Courage, the Cowardly Dog caught me very much off guard while I was writing this comment! :O

Fantástico trabalho. Esse jogo (e o Simpsons The Game) também fez parte da minha infância. Boas recordações.

Great work

The only thing I noticed that you might need to fix is the characters hands when they're either running or driving. They usually run with their hands turned into fist, and when driving, their fingers grip the steering wheel. But other that, everything looks super awesome, dude! Your doing a phenomenal job with this remake so far, keep it up! 👍

the rim lighting is very fitting for billboards and similar stuff IMO and keep the regular shadows across all models

This is exactly what a remaster should be - the touches you added make it up to date with modern games so that a new audience can play it today without thinking it looks dated.

Very smart bringing out this game just some time before spooky month and reach the so-called Halloween level

one small missing detail at the magazines at 2:41 is it's "Sponge & Vacuum", there is a big & after sponge and being overlapped by the 'uum', and it being a pun on 'Home & Garden'

Happy anniversary!

Madre mía hoy se cumplen ya 20 años desde que salió a la venta este juego. Hace ya más de 10 años que lo compré en una tienda de videojuegos de segunda mano de pura chiripa y porque no había nada mejor en la misma. Sinceramente no sabía lo que me iba a encontrar, y para mi sorpresa, su estilo "GTA", pero "family friendly", me sorprendió gratamente. Yo tendría por aquel entonces 13-14 años y fue de los pocos juegos que complete al 100 %. No será el mejor juego y probablemente tendrá unos cuantos errores, pero creo que todos los que lo hemos jugado guardamos un recuerdo especial del mismo. No sé si será por su música, ambientación, las referencias a la serie... en fin, es uno de esos videojuegos que no te arrepientes de comprar ni de jugar.

i never played the game but im impressed that 1:28 was polished up insanely well, that sign is, like the quality increase is very high.

Keep it up man 🎉

es increíble lo que estas haciendo 🖤

nice! did u see reubs also did a full remake? how did you do this? decompile the game and replace assets? or rebuild in unreal or something. nice work either way!

I like the level 2 grass, looks smooth and not as intense as the brighter level 1 grass, gives a nice subtle change between level environments.

This IS so good

10/10 hermoso bro👌👌

I put the 20th anniversary of the game on my Microsoft calender about like 3 years ago and it finally came yay

Congrats for your work, it's splendid to see somebody pay a lot of work to just a thing because it's good and you do it very well!

Awesome stuff

Great job

there’s a way to do outlines on the actual model that’s convincing; you can just make a shell model that sits over the actual model itself, same basic model as the character as a whole etc but slightly thicker/fatter all around - that model is totally black on the inside, and then transparent on the outside; this way, the outline is created from the angle of being able to see through the model on the outside and see the inside outlining the character. there’s scripts to do this in programs like blender to automate it

Really a love letter to the game, please take your time and dont crunch yourself !

It's hard to believe it's been 20 YEARS since this game released. Up there in my top 5 favorite games for the original Xbox. I still remember 100% the game on November 3rd, 2013 (yes, I do still remember that date, which I usually can't do). Here's to 20 more!🍻

The technique to create the outline effect on the Playstation 2 version models is called Inverse Hull Method, as a matter of fact it is a quite trivial effect to pull off. It is possible to implement it to the citizen characters but you would need access to the game source code and a programmer familiar with whatever the language is used to write the game.

TA INCRÍVEL MEUS PARABÉNS ❤

For someone who’s reanimating the cutscenes by himself (of course with the friends assistance), the intro still looks decent! My favourite thing in this game would have to be the various lines everyone has to say whilst driving and my least favourite being how you can’t go 50 metres away from the golden house without blowing up the Rocket Car… Happy 20th anniversary Simpsons: Hit & Run 🚸

You are the best!!!
