Castle in the Forest | A First Look at my N64 Style Game

This is an area I have been working on for my N64 inspired game, "Legend 64". After working on this for so long, I'm really excited to share it with you! The game is being made using Unreal Engine. I will be posting more updates soon.

[@elweaconplumas272]

recreates the essence of the N64 very well. It looks like an area taken from ocarina of time

[@Legend64Project]

That is really high praise to me. Thank you very much :)

[@BMPK]

@@Legend64Project I'd play if it doesn't have any anime style models

[@GetMadz]

love the atmosphere

[@bareq99]

I see that you are a Nintendo 64 enjoyer!! Truly a man of culture

[@Josuh]

Reminds me of the Edo Castle level in Mystical Ninja 2: Goemon's Great Adventure

[@Legend64Project]

That game was definitely an inspiration when working on this ;D

[@Nintendude.]

Chills man, chills. Still needs an added blur to the overall image since the 3D models look way to sharp, but still chills.

[@teresaivall1431]

This is really interesting, can’t wait to see this become a real playable game!

[@n64glennplant]

Really digging the style of this so far

[@arc-sd8sk]

ur a legend bro thanks for sharing your work ! this is on point in every single way-taking me right back to '97 lol

[@Legend64Project]

I’m glad I’m successfully tapping into that nostalgia for you :D

[@megadeth1818]

nah...hes a legend 64....sorry

[@Pridetoons]

If Mystical Ninja was the Legend of Zelda on the N64 this would be it.

[@rolandkatsuragi]

All those muddy textures 👌

[@mariomaker69420]

you seriously need more subs, it’s a crime to be this good yet unknown

[@shepherdstar14]

I get some Majora’s Mask/Oot vibes with the music, and I love the atmosphere, it’s like a very classic game I would have loved to play.

[@roastman9753]

props on getting this to work in unreal engine. Ive been learning lately that trying to make things actually unreal in Unreal engine is really difficult, but this looks spot on.

[@jaws8621]

This looks really great, and that music is incredible.

[@minilabyrinth]

We need more developers to return to the golden days of N64 and PS1 graphics, this looks AMAZING and well done on the atmosphere. instant sub

[@NeonDarius7843]

This is actually impressive! Really takes me back!

[@JSCG12]

Very cool, love to see more new content in the N64 style. I also like the 六十四 on the lanterns, nice touch haha.

[@Blernster]

If you don't mind, can you say what that means?

[@JSCG12]

@@Blernster Its how you say 64 in Japanese (pronounced rokujyuuyon)

[@memesleyv3]

Currently working so I can't watch it right now, but the lighting in the thumbnail is absolutely superb for this project.

[@DeepFriedOreoOffline]

The forest and all looks like it could fit perfectly in OoT! The lighting is nice, and ending the scene preview by going into the door was a nice touch :P

[@MorshusNosehairTrimmings]

This looks very promising; I'll have to watch it when I have time tonight! (Just helping the algorithm)

[@Legend64Project]

I appreciate it!

[@MorshusNosehairTrimmings]

@@Legend64Project oops, i just watched it the evening i wrote that comment, but i forgot to let you know. It was very above average and well-constructed, both texture-wise and music-wise. Superb work, honestly.

[@austinmorrison6953]

Wow. Really nailed the atmosphere here. Feels like something straight out of Ocarina of Time

[@philippegregoire-harel8117]

Impressively close to the source material. I like it! Just render it in 480p at 11fps so we can get a more immersive trailer! But you got my hope all worked up! After we had our first Nintendo 64 Game Jam, I was hoping for something acutually running on the N64! That would have been the sickest thing ever!

[@McWickyyyy]

Amazing :) this feels like something out of Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask. Feels like a secret part of the deku palace in Majoras mask. Keep working at it man. You have a lot of people who love what you are doing

[@Legend64Project]

Thank you so much! That’s really motivating to read :)

[@tursala]

I want to have a picnic here

[@PxlDev]

Im getting some forest temple vibes from this. LOVE IT!

[@bobbysworldofficial]

This is like Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon meets Ocarina of Time. Coolest fan project i've seen... maybe ever? Hope you finish this!

[@BaronofBeardUK]

The music gives me some real Kurt Harland vibes. I'm going to keep an eye on this one.

[@dogmaquest2281]

dang you nailed it! The technical explanations that go into the other videos on the channel are sick too, gives me more appreciation for this environment too.

[@zackbryans4982]

I subbed because I saw your video explaining why N64 graphics are the way that they are and I've been watching everything since. Great work I can't wait to see more.

[@bobganky6240]

I love this whole journey on your experiences building on what you make

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

This gives me huge nostalgia, so you have succeeded.

[@silentslayergaming8469]

hell yeah, this looks awesome, ocarina of time/castlevania 64 vibes.

[@mnop90]

This looks amazing! Thank you for sharing and please do more videos on your process. I'd love to see more behind the scenes on how this was all made.

[@KnobbyNobbes]

I have been waiting for a good project like this to pop up for years now. Good to see you implement the look so convincingly. Very excited for future updates. :D

[@m4r_art]

Love the look of this. I think the textures for some grass and the occasional short packed grass like in majora's mask ocarina of time would work really nicely

[@Josuh]

That's so amazing

[@gnnr222]

homie you really nailed the aesthetic with the textures and the soundfont! keep it up!

[@traceedge8758]

This looks awesome! I love how this all looks!

[@khalybebe]

Following these updates is incredible g 🔥

[@jordanmonteith1397]

Love your content!!! This looks kool!!!!!

[@johnclinton7706]

we need games like that made for modern consoles amazing work

[@HotDogLaws]

looks like how we all remember vintage games looking rather than how they actually looked, love it

[@YOLKNESS]

Oh holy moly, you did such a good job. Incredibly N64 like. I’m trying to make a music video with PS1 style graphics right now, but I can’t seem to get the vibe right. Your demo here is supah inspiring! Great work! 👍🏻

[@TheRenalicious]

Cut the resolution down to 320x240, and 20fps, and I dare say this will look like an authentic N64 capture! Great work!

[@DemolitionDrive94]

This gives me mad Mystical Ninja vibes and it excites me! Great job!

[@ElOxiVladimarius]

The 64 lanterns are lovely!!

[@DigitalGreenTea]

Fantastic! The design of the castle and environment is really amazing. Love the music and atmosphere too. Just needs to be low resolution & blurry and you have a near authentic N64 experience!

[@jackhearts9827]

Damn this is amazing, I would love to play a whole game in this style.

[@KlareAudio]

AMAZINGG

[@MapleMilk]

This video reminds me of the first time I played Twilight Princess, man

[@jerodburnett6422]

Looks awesome, keep up the good work!

[@TriforceMeteor]

This is so fire and inspiring!! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@AaronMYoung]

This is totally awesome! you are killing it!

Thank you Aaron!

[@kethaniel1]

Well Done, this definitely gives me some ocarina of time vibes.

[@Saxoboneless]

The ground path reminds me of ocarina of time

[@FlyAwayAvatar]

Amazing work!!

[@ponmander]

Very awesome! Man I wish I could do this.

[@offworldangel]

Amazing graphics, not ironically. I love this retro look, but it has some cool modern stuff like the particles

[@Mastermind6425]

Looking forward to see more of this game!

Nice work man

[@Levee-kx6ul]

This is incredible! The music fits this so well but can we just talk about how much i want this to be a playable game akin to zelda OoT and MM. I would buy this as a game. Edit: after going to your channel i realize you are making this a game.

[@HYDRAdude]

Looks like cut content from OoT or something, very impressive!

[@tulpenbambus]

I've recently played Another Mario Adventure (a SM64 hack) and this kinda reminds me.

[@karlnigan]

Excellent recreation, you need CRT filter and 800x600 resolution max :)

[@nicholoswilde4252]

love it.

[@ClementGenniaux]

very nice job, i've tried to do something like that with a Map of Battlefield 1, not easy to build something only with 64X64 pixels textures ^^

[@AtomicToyRobot]

Super sick

[@domicraft6341]

I'm very impressed. Looks very good. What kind of genre do you aim to make this game be?

[@MaxGallardo]

I really really like your work. I wonder if this coud actually run on a N64 at a decent framerate?

[@Legend64Project]

Thank you so much. It may be possible but it would require a much different setup than what I have used here!

[@joschua1499]

So cool

[@halomaster3464]

Fucking awesome

[@RedRamekRaze7]

I'm ready.

[@danielvutran]

WOW !!!!!!!

[@nasuhero629]

Cool

[@SnowyFoxFox]

Beautiful visuals, but as an audio guy, I'm interested in the music. Has this music been made for Legend 64, or is it from an N64 game I didn't play? It sounds as authentic as the project looks.

[@fieryalbino]

I was wondering about that too.

[@hahasamian8010]

If I can limit the power somehow so the resolution is low and the framerate dips I will love it I mean I'll love it either way but ya know

[@Legend64Project]

I’m experimenting on the right balance with the technical limitations. I want a low frame rate and resolution, but I know that may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

[@hahasamian8010]

@@Legend64Project Yea, definitely leave options, especially since 1080p 60fps emulation looks so good for the N64
