Haha, if I remember correctly the game ran on 10fps by default. It was also CPU dependend, if you played it on a pentium 3 or higher, you would have insane fps but the physics would go ham too and made it unplayable.

For graphics, you should either mimic the 3d rendered versions of the island as seen on the box & in the intro/outro, or you should go the full photorealistic route but make the landscape elements feel large to mimic the feel of being a lego man in your parents' backyard.

I may be late to this party but something worth noting is that the iconic original soundtrack master tapes were quite literally drowned in the sea. The OSTs composer Lorin Nelson successfully restored most of the iconic tracks which are free for download on the project island website. I'm not as privy on game dev knowledge or even usage rights but imagine how cool it could be traversing the island as the original soundtrack plays, tracks transitioning from one location on the island to the next

Seeing the Island in Unreal Engine 5 is a stunning treat, and that reveal at 4:40 literally made my jaw drop. Great work!

I wasn't born during the time of Lego Island 1 but this video made me look it up and saw Lego Island 2 which I did play around the time it came out. I loved that game and played so much of it because I didn't have internet at home and it was the only game I had at the time, brings up so many good memories.

Ok it’s been nearly 4 months… Where’s part 2 Reubs?

Nice, really excited to see where this'll end!

I have played this game A LOT in my childhood. I know by now, I will LOVE this series

Not only was this recreation impressive, the writing of the episode & the fun additions made this very enjoyable to watch. Can’t wait for the next episode!

lol, of course right after i watched the last mattkc video on his lego island efforts here's another lego island video! and here i am, fascinated about a game I don't even think I heard of until this year.

such a good game back in the day

Island X-Treme Stunts is going to blow this guy's mind.

This needs geometry grass (either realistic or that lego grass). Could use nanite to make it possible

Yey, I follow the "Project Island" project , but they update very little sadly :(. Hope this Project goes great!!

Come on man! We deserve access to the game!

So stoked you’re doing a new series!!

FINALLY, THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

Very impressive, as always. The extra effort put into the editing, like the skits and cinematic b roll shots, is well worth it.

Fantastic work. I treasure this game so close to my heart and it's awesome seeing the graft you guys put into making this a reality

Short video but I absolutely can’t wait to see the finished game, it’s a shame we can never play this

This is so sick thanks reubs

This is incredible. Thanks for the vid 🙏

Another one of my childhood favorites. If I'm not mistaken this was the first game I ever played on PC. So hyped to see how this one turns out!!

Kinda disappointed that you guys aren't making the terrain out of Lego. I'd look into seeing how those Lego open world games look. Specifically how LEGO Worlds does it. With the modern engine I think it'd what the OG game.devs would've done! Super excited to see this! Good luck

This is SUPER cool! And I like alot that you are using character models and having them interact. Remaking the island is cool, but part of it is the people, the interactions, the world itself so that it's alive. Thank you for having some fun animations to it!

Makes me wish for a published version, this game was my childhood fr

I am so excited for this series! LEGO games got me into video games as a whole!

I am totally here for it!

Lego Island 2 is one of my favorite Games of all time, so seeing this is soooo cool!

Nice to see you keep going with another game !

Things to think about: - Clouds that are shaped like LEGO's to keep the theme (just like Minecraft's square clouds) - Raining small semitransparent blue studs, imagine the satisfying sound they would make - Add dirt and scratches to the LEGO pieces to make them look used, just like the game LEGO Builder's Journey - Kids games used the arrow keys, instead of WASD - Have someone to remaster/redo the music. The original files are terrible, but the music is quite good

Very interesting! Awesome work so far!

Love to see more of your content!

Great to see you revive another classic game. I never played lego island but always heard great things.

Why is it that every time someone remakes an old game it’s always hyper realistic. It just breaks the theme.

this is the kind of remake project that needs expansion. you are starting with an island, so you can add more islands :P more islands, more legos, more sets, have fun with the growing chaos :P

Great video. :) Love the game and the remake process. Looking forward to seeing all the videos. Cheers from Australia

There is not enough lego, everything should be lego, the water, the clouds, the terrain, the sun, the moon, you. EVERYTHING

It is a good start but I really think you are missing out by not having the terrain made from lego. There must be a shader out there that turns ordinary meshes to lego

This was one of my favorite games when it was released. Will be following this.

Yesssss new project.

I've been waiting so long for this when you teased it. I never had Lego Island, but I still have been interested in your work, even if we can never play it.

Oh hell yeah. I loved this game as a kid

I have a very vivid memory from when I was a kid of being able to go off of the road in Lego Island. Walk on the grass, rocks, etc. My family got a new computer and when I reinstalled Lego Island (still as a kid but a couple years later) I could no longer get off the road and was confused. Does anyone else remember having a corrupted game that let you walk anywhere? Or was my child brain just corrupted from a fever dream or something? PS. THIS LOOKS AWESOME! Great work!

Truly amazing work done! As cool as it is to recreate the island it would be pretty cool to make to Island more “LEGO like”. As if you were walking through the LEGO movie!

Fantastic video! The game looks great! :D

One big problem about the whole "add texture at a certain elevation" thing, the little palm tree beach at the east side of the island, and that the beach stretches up to the regular elevation in the regular game. But so far, really good! Hope you release it someday.
