Harry Potter The Game UE5 fan Remake: Props and Map Conversion

[@Culpride]

I forgot how good the music in this early games were.

Jeremy Soule is a legend))

[@veridicusmind3722]

These are Jeremy Soule’s most underrated pieces! On par with TES games.

[@ColtPtrHun]

Omg the climbing animation will finally work after 25 years lol

[@NicholasClane]

I really miss this kind of games. I hope one day big corps will understand that single player adventure games with good story, interesting gameplay and bold concept are really good. And sometimes we don’t need an open world or soft lock with shit ton of boring side quests before you can continue main story.

[@Chris-ft2kc]

The algorithm's delivered a treat today! This reminds me of the Simpsons Hit & Run UE5 remake that went viral. I can see this being incredible in a year's time. Keep at it!

[@Sikanda.]

Philosopher's stone on pc is my childhood! I just replayed It again yesterday and now I stumble upon this project. Fascinating to see these gorgeous low poly assets in UE5. It's very exciting. You gained another follower.

[@NeznamoAnonimovich]

Oh, it's very cool. I saw some fanmades projects of HP and and I can say that it's much better than what i have seen. Keep up the good work!

[@darksora4487]

@NeznamoAnonimovich Рад такое читать) Мой родной язык - русский, если что)) На самом деле я, увидев чужие попытки, получил еще больше мотивации сделать лучше. Но моя основная задача освоить таким образом движок и начать в итоге что-то свое.

[@NeznamoAnonimovich]

@@darksora4487 Я и сам разбираюсь в этом, правда на Unity, но за такую работу браться не хочу, очень уж большой проект. Но верю в то, что кто-то в итоге сделает годный ремейк, и даже завезёт туда редактор уровней, чтобы комьюнити могло развивать фандом дальше. В качестве примера годного ремейка могу привести переделку старой игры Lego Rock Raiders под названием Manic Miners. Мало того, игра на UE4, красочная и оптимизированная, так ещё и с редактором уровней.

[@Undermax]

Amigo está excelente el trabajo! Has refinado muy bien muchas cosas, la cámara, la iluminación, los materiales. Con un mejor pulido en algunas cosas y agregando las fisicas y funciones que faltan sin duda supera a cualquier proyecto de EA de la actualidad. Bravo 🎉🎉

[@Miresgaldir]

Youve done so much of the groundwork and the animations look great 👌

[@mativaldez12]

I subbed just to follow this project! This game represents my childhood so much I really can't wait for you to have a playable demo 🙌

[@alexsage4]

Love it! Especially the animations!

[@joeltromark7058]

Looks amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@midiya_sas103]

анимации просто великолепны. не представляю как много еще работы, но уже выглядит очень впечатляюще. желаю большой удачи!

[@Krytikyle]

Good stuff mate! We're doing a similar thing with Toy Story 2, keep it up!

[@kirillroditelev]

Awesome work, man!

[@fakefaceHP]

Amazing!! Looks really nice with the character animation and the world! I would maybe say that Harry feels a bit too big compared to the objects, but other than that, i love the look and movements! :)

[@darksora4487]

I spent a long time choosing the scale of the map relative to Harry and the props and made it 1 in 1 as in the original. Maybe in the new videos I'll show it in comparison with the original Gameplay.

[@Gnenguin]

Harry’s the same size; the camera is just closer to him here

[@darksora4487]

@@Gnenguin Yes, otherwise you can't aim. Harry's head is blocking some objects

[@r57zone]

Very cool, it seems that in order for the textures on objects to be of normal color, some constant should be added to the texture parameters (I don't remember which one). It would be great to make the camera a little further and higher, then it will be even better. If suddenly you have the opportunity to share obj maps on models-resource, there are no maps for HP1. Interesting project, it will be great if a remake works. Good luck.

[@RyKeUp]

Looks amazing already. I would recommend to remove any sort of reflectivity or specularity from the materials on the models since the original Materials basically only consisted of pure color information. Or you could actually try to generate normal maps and all that fancy stuff. In any case lots of love for keeping this game alive.

[@darksora4487]

@@RyKeUp that's right, all my materials are as matte as possible except for stone floors. Yes, I tried to generate normal maps using Photoshop on test models, it looks amazing. But I've put this topic aside for later.

[@RyKeUp]

@@darksora4487 I'm super excited to see all that in action at some point.

[@ThomasLyhneHansen]

Great project man!

[@semidark13]

It looks very cool and promising! I'll be looking forward to the updates! However, I strongly hope that EA or Warner Bros. won't try to force the project to be canceled...

[@pryanich]

ты лучший, легкой и вдохновенной тебе работы. я думаю, многие до сих пор любят эти игры, и я бы с удовольствием сыграл в такой ремейк

[@darksora4487]

Большое спасибо!

[@_aconite_cj_]

Harry looks absolutely amazin with his flowy cloak/uniform now. Brilliant work ♡ Gonna use google translate Вы хорошо поработали. Мне нравится, как выглядит Гарри, а также вся обстановка и реквизит! Oh no fall damage xD Another edit: if tou want, I can help with scripts!

[@darksora4487]

First of all, I'm studying ue5 and I'm not in a hurry. therefore, I will try to figure it out myself. yes, the fall damage is already ready and it is very tough in the tests :D

[@_aconite_cj_]

@darksora4487 good to know!! Lmk if you any help with anythin at all, I'm good with digital art and designing. Also, I love and hate the fall damage xD but it's necessary

[@dphdmn]

amazing but can you do brightness boosting in this version

[@darksora4487]

@@dphdmn I quickly set up the lights for the demonstration. In the future, there will naturally be more light sources.

[@PavelBukarev]

Nice! Are these custom animations or something built in UE? If the latter, are you planning to make something closer to the original?

[@darksora4487]

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the original animations out of the game, so I use the game animation sample as a basis for walking and jumping. Casting spells and animations for dialogues will either take similar ones or make my own. In another video, I demonstrate the work of AI gnomes, there are only my Animations.

[@darksora4487]

at the moment, I'm not worried about animations. In my opinion, it looks acceptable and that's enough for now.

[@Zylai01]

EA: See u in court buddy. Anyway its about time someone had to doing something with harry potter games

[@darksora4487]

in any case, no one except me can legally play this even if I finish

[@Loggus66]

Hmmm. You obviously won't be able to distribute it with the assets legally. Which means, you'll have to write some scripts to extract them from the game copy present on a client PC. While doing that, why not go one step further and allow people to specify their own texture packs instead of original ones? My two cents as I have thought of doing something like that in the past.

[@darksora4487]

@@Loggus66 interesting thoughts.but this is not possible, as I have to edit the original models after exporting them.

[@hiyosee2082]

Hi, nice work out there, but did you use brushes as in original game or tried to recreate it with static meshes?

[@darksora4487]

[@TheCede555]

Hey man, So much nostalgia hit when seeing this project, Do you have future plans to convert the textures to PBR?

[@darksora4487]

I probably won't do direct PBR materials. But reflections and normal maps are in the plans. Also, the floor with "puddles" showed itself very cool in the tests. According to the canon, the floor at Hogwarts is always perfectly clean and shiny.

[@darksora4487]

It's too early to think about it anyway. I'm focusing on logic right now. Design and graphics are the very last stage.

[@ThePedigree17]

Amazing

[@viktorkovarik]

It would be nice if you upscale original textures using AI to have better sharpness. I've seen some texture packs for original HP games which done similar stuff.

[@Wojtek_Ch]

That's the true Hogwarts' legacy!

[@jackfarris3670]

[@НиколайФоменко-г9л]

This is what Hogwarts Legacy should have been like

[@DmitryB-153]

I think realistic character animations don't work with the stylized character. It feels like a man wears a costume

[@dovahkiin2108]

More unreal slop.

[@TraneSeven]

still better than hogwarts legacy

[@Culpride]

Difficult to compare a game that came out in the same month as the first film (2001) to a one that came out 2023, more than ten years after the last film in the series.

[@_aconite_cj_]

​@@Culprideit's better than HL bc HL profits JKR who's a known bigot and racist and a terrible person.

[@alf2892]

Much much better than legacy

[@Culpride]

@ @TraneSeven Okay people, I couldn't find a single magazine, critic or source that was around for both games and rated Legacy higher than HP1 (PC). Only the opposite. I don't want to argue against your opinions, (everybody has their taste/preference), but what led you to the conclusion that HP1 is better than Legacy? Or rather: What made you conclude that Legacy is much much worse than HP1?

[@pryanich]

​@@Culpride because it can't be better than HP1
