How A Glitch Confused Everybody for 15 Years... (Lego Indiana Jones 2)

[@kidcruddy8258]

You don’t remember the big green platform with the red aura from the movies? That’s my favorite part.

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

XD

[@felixmckinney7132]

Yeah, it’s even made of Legos in the film. It’s crazy how film accurate this is.

[@deetheottsel]

aw man I forgot about that big green platform with the red aura

[@acupncture833]

This thing feels like a Lego Batman thing that somehow got left in this game

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

lol who knows

[@artistpanda5]

If they were still using the same engine as they were for the previous LEGO games at this point, then maybe. It could be something that was still being used as some kind of placeholder, which they forgot to remove in the final game.

[@UnshotSpy]

​@@artistpanda5old models and such and can still be transferred to new engines, so an engine switch doesn't necessarily mean he's wrong.

[@tophatcat1173]

​@@UnshotSpy sure but why would they transfer lego batman assets to a new engine to make a lego India Jones game?

[@UnshotSpy]

@@tophatcat1173 I am learning to make games actually. My best guess is it's just easier for prototyping than creating all new assets. We don't even know if this asset was specifically from Lego Batman, it could just be a generic Lego model they have in a folder full of other generic Lego models and they transferred the whole folder over. Also, my best guess for what it actually is, is a landing pand for the UFO to spawn on, and for whatever reason they moved the spawn (whether on purpose or by accident) and didn't move or delete the pad itself. You'll notice in the level the UFO just kinda spawns in the middle of the open and the pillar would be a perfect size for it. Of course it's all just speculation because we don't know their process they use for making their games behind the scenes, and the only way we can get a real answer is by asking a dev but the game is so old they likely wouldn't remember any more.

[@MosesMalone-s8f]

Not sure if you'll catch this comment, nor if anyone shares my experience, but I used to play this game as a kid. In the kingdom of the crystal skull world 2, if you play as the mental asylum patient, you can do something which no other character can: If you head toward the bottom edge of the map where the beach meets the ocean, take the mental asylum patient and begin to swim in the water without letting go of the joystick. He is the only character unaffected by the current of the ocean, and as he continues to swim out into the ocean, you will begin to see random items, ranging from barrels, trees, and other miscellaneous objects. Once you let go of the joystick, he will be catapulted into the sky and start to fall back to earth. It always freaked me out as a kid, because it didn't seem intentional, yet its existence continues to perplex me.

Exactly. I guess it's cut content for a puzzle as opposed to a straight up glitch

[@unkownilululiker47]

there are a few theories i have 1. it was intended to be for a puzzle but was never finished 2. they accidently put it too far in the ground so we're only seeing the top or 3. they tried to hide it under the floor and its just a test model thats poking out by accident great video btw

makes perfect sense. thanks for commenting

[@Red0Leader]

I suspect it's not a glitch but a removed feature. Most of the interactable elements lead to some kind of a collectable. If it were truly a glitch you would likely expect for there to be a missing unobtainable collectable in the game. But there isn't. Though it is possible the reward could simply be studs.

I feel like you *might* be able to ask Jon Burton (forgot his official title but one of the “head honchos” at Traveler’s Tales) on his KZbin channel GameHut, but then again I doubt he’d know about such a specific detail in one of the several dozen Lego games he’s created over the years. If you haven’t seen his channel I’d highly recommend checking his videos out. He’s got tons of videos detailing the code and technical background of some of TT’s old games, stretching back as far as their Sonic spinoff games in the mid 90s (specifically Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R)

[@bonniegem_]

i like how you're just a floating eye, it's very unique i think. good video

What an interesting object... I don't remember it personally so I don't recall how I interacted with it last time I played Lego Indiana Jones 2, but it's very interesting nobody's ever found out a purpose for its existence. Given its bright, flashy appearance and the fact the third hub world for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull focuses mainly on the temple where the aliens are held, tying it to the UFO makes the most sense but who knows where the mystery goes from there.

[@hioman]

Tt Boss: congratulations team, the game is finished and has been sent out to the distributors Tom the intern: wait, was that today? Tt Boss: of course, why? Did we forget something? Tom the intern: i might have forgotten to delete the green platform with the glowing red hue Tt boss: eh, that's fine people will just ignore it when they realize it doesn't do anything But from an actual developer standpoint, it's possible they used some placeholder they have to test out red lighting. When you're trying to see the effects of lights, it's sometimes useful to attach an object to the light so you can more accurately predict where it's supposed to go. I don't know what engine they used or how it renders things, but if the editor doesn't render lighting then they'd really need that object to tell where they're placing anything

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

Tom's cooked

[@charlesdunn9222]

Feels like something forbidden. Like maybe it’s there because the devs had to contain something they found in the game. Something that seeped into the code and couldn’t be removed so the devs had to imprison it, praying that an unsuspecting player doesn’t try to release it. But it would only be a matter of time. After all, the irony of it all is that the game it’s been imprisoned in is one of unearthing the unknown, and it would only be natural instinct for someone somewhere to eventually release it.

[@SuperWiiBros08]

This is most likely an unfinished element that the forgot to remove

This is your first video? Very good dude, simple yet effective and to the point. Also love me some Lego games, specially with glitches along. The programmers were dreaming of Lego studs and they forgot to look up some janky lines of code.

[@Orange_Swirl]

Okay, I have to ask. Why has nobody asked or interviewed the devs about it? That seems like the obvious way to get a satisfying answer.

[@quba8745]

I doubt that it's a glitch or anything like that, it's probably an intentional detail whose lack of function is the point With how Crystal Skull is focused around aliens, I think it makes sense to have this sort of mysterious and unexplainable "alien artifact" just laying around in the uncharted jungle as a sort of mystery for the players to mull over just like other real life "alien signs"

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

honestly that might be the case

[@TheLateLordKardok]

Though I've played several other LEGO games (they were some of my first), I sadly have no experience playing this game. Though, I've heard one or two people say it's good, you included.

[@thelibyanplzcomeback]

I remember myself as a kid trying to do stuff with it so I can perhaps get a collectible. I ended up completing the game and forgetting about it. It never softlocked my save and prevented me from getting 100%, thankfully.

[@codemancz798]

Seems like some unfinished part of the level they just left in by accident.

[@pokeli2728]

I know nothing about how they make their LEGO games, but Im just going to assume they reused a ton of assets from previous games and that means this could be an asset carried over from another lego game that got misplaced here on accident and no one noticed it before release, so it could be from LEGO star wars or some other lego game. Other small theories 1. This thing is meant to be part of a puzzle but whatever its supposed to do is bugged in the code and it just does nothing. 2. Its a scrapped puzzle that had all the assets wiped in development except for this model, likely because it may have been stored separately from the main puzzle during development. 3. Its meant to be a helipad thats missing textures or has messed up textures and is just there for decor. 4. Some kind of inside joke the devs made during development. 5. May be one of those force blocks from LEGO star wars that sith are supposed to use the force on judging by the red aura it seems to have. Meaning its a ported asset that just wasn't removed before release.

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

lol i should've hired you to write the script. thanks for commenting!

[@Hoshcof]

1) that's not what a glitch is, a glitch is an unintentional bug. This is an object intentionally placed in the game with an unknown purpose. 2) you took nearly half the video explaining what LEGO Indiana Jones 2 is, and that could have been left out or severely cut down.

[@des__]

he showed the "glitch" exactly at 1:36 which is almost half of the video. never answered why is it there and just throws a couple theories at us. awful content farming.

[@Architector_4]

could get to the point quicker, but the context is nice to have, and there's definitely a glitch because i doubt any sane developer would want to put this brightly colored object with blinking lights but with absolutely zero context, explanation, function or known purpose into an otherwise coherent and well functioning videogame lol

[@Architector_4]

@@des__ pretty sure the sentence that starts at 0:00 says fairly clearly that it's not known by anyone why it's there huh, almost like the part of the video there serves a purpose hell, even with all the 1:36 to get to the glitch, that's 96 seconds! go get an attention span or something lol

[@des__]

@ this is not about attention span, this video is just 3 minutes of "huh what if i..." without any real answers.

[@Architector_4]

@ as i said, i'm pretty sure the first 20 seconds already indicate that you won't get answers lol

[@eightcoins4401]

This is just an element they forgot to implement functions for, not a glitch. A glitch is when features in a game lead to consequences not intended by the devs.

[@lukecwolf]

I always thought this this an object for a puzzle never implimented (my idea as a kid) However, if this is actually a glitch, there are other theories - it's an object popping out of the ground we're not actually supposed to see - it's an object connected to another object or coded alongside the object and this pops out. Basically lots of lego games code stuff by repeating code in patterned places. A lot of star wars structures are like this, which makes a lot of glitch runs, and the unattainable blue stud. It's thus possible this object is connected to another asset and is sticking out. I still think it's just a random platform thrown in unused and confusing us like a lot in indiana jones 4. Cool video.

[@johny_beans]

i think i heard somewhere that this was for a scrapped race or minigame that would be like all the others where you get a character or vehicle for it.

[@sinaxes5250]

You can see that it's clipping through the ground so maybe the devs wanted to hide it under the ground for having no use but forgot to do it...somehow great video BTW

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

OOOOH... thats a great idea. thank you!

[@masqueradian2028]

Seeing it appear on screen gave me a weird flashback to seeing it as a kid and trying to park a motorcycle on it. Then you did exactly that lmao. What's strange to me about it is the red aura that's around it, almost looks like the kind you see as a Sith when you use the force. The spinning lights kinda makes me think it would've been a 100% reward or something like that. It looks unfinished, as in like actually unfinished being built. Maybe you would've been able to finish building it if you got to a certain point with gold bricks or your completion percentage?

[@Frogbrother]

Me and my little brother have tried so many things in this world, I can rember that the UFO could make random noises at times, we also tried everything with that green pad. We also tried lots of things to get in the waterslides in this level.

I have actually wondered what the hell this was all my life I also initially assumed it had something to do with the UFO or the aliens within the game but as you did I also tried flying the saucer over it and found it did nothing, I went even so far as to fly over it AGAIN but this time with the crystal skeleton character driving the saucer and still nothing This just puzzled me for the longest time and I’m glad I’m not the only one confused by it

[@lucianobarbosajunior8207]

Other interesting thing is the stanford with hair in level creator logo,He never appears in game,But is present in game trailers and beta ign video and as called "curator".

[@AmbiguouslyAnonymous]

This game was so buggy lol. I remember one time, after exiting a stage in Raiders, my character just abruptly sank through the ground. Then my character died and never respawned, so I tried hitting all the buttons....and suddenly it had me join in as Player 2. A few moments later Player 1 respawned, and suddenly I was controlling both characters with a single controller. Also fun fact--on every version of the game (unless Steam finally fixed it), Marion is bugged. Specifically, when creating a custom level in Raiders, you only have Marion (Cairo) as an option. If you select Marion in free play or adventure mode though, she has the token icon for Marion (Cairo) in the character selection, but once you enter a level you'll realise it's actually Marion in her Nepal costume. This is mostly harmless, BUT it does have a weird side effect: Normally, when you select a level in Freeplay/Adventure, you're forced to pick two characters to play as, who get added to the level. But if you pick a duplicate--like choose Sallah in Free Play while Sallah is already in the custom level--it won't spawn the duplicate, giving you only one Sallah. So if in freeplay/adventure you pick the same two characters you selected in the editor, you won't get any extras while playing. But because the Marion in the character select is different from the one in the level editor, it's impossible to do with her as it spawns both Marion variants, so if you made a level with Raiders Marion and try to play it in Freeplay/Adventure, you'll be forced to have a third character in the level.

I’ve never played Lego Indiana Jones 2, (played 1 a bunch) but I vaguely remember encountering similar glitches/leftover/cut elements in other games that I spent a while agonizing over.

I hate to be "that guy" but no one in the last 15 years ever thought to datamine the game? If there's any code associated with it, then that would reveal it's purpose. If not, then that's still kind of an answer. It'd just mean it was an unused asset the devs mistakenly left behind.

[@TIE_Productions]

I tried, and there's even my comment under a KZbin short from another channel that discussed this strange object in the game. I spent about two days obsessively looking through the files that outlined the game logic for the hub world (stuff like anchor points for characters and vehicles to respawn at) or for certain doors to open and close at different stages of story progression. There was absolutely *nothing* in that file that would even remotely have a connection to the green pad, and I am 99,9% certain that it is completely inert and unusable in the final game. Perhaps checking a beta version could yield some answers, but that was more complicated than I could manage.

[@MrkongTheoldman-tm8lb]

It might be a object that used to have a purpose in the development of the game, we will not know until someone goes snooping around in the files. personally i think it was a vehicle race start point but specifically for flying vehicles, Judging from its helipad like appearance.

"This is the first video on this channel" i had to check. That gave me whiplash. It certainly dont seems like it. Editing was fine and the audio wasnt bad. Script was good. If this is your first vid, then its a promising good start

This is such an Indiana jones esc thing tho lol. An unknowable artifact that no one has been able to find out what it is or does for several years! I never played this Indiana game I played the first Lego game instead (but I did have the Adventure Continues on DS and that one was developed by a different company completely differently from the ones on console)

Totally random recommendation about a game i haven't thought about for a good while, and honestly, i'm glad i took on the chance. Clear voice with good mic quality, and a fun little "mascot", i'm assuming, and about something that's nagged at my own brain for AGES. Definitely intrigued enough to sub! As for what it might be...honestly, the only explanation to me with the source material is some odd alien artifact, possibly. Is there a way to look into the coding or file name of this thing?

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

first of all, thank you so much! second, while we could check the game files, lego games use an old game engine thats hard to decode. However, this video got way more attention than I was expecting, so maybe someone who sees this will dig up an answer?

[@TusksTheAxew]

@EyeGuy-b1x Ahhh, i wasn't aware it's a hard one to crack, makes sense why though. With the talented internet sleuths out there, i'm sure it'll be looked into once the right person sees this!

[@ammonite616]

this is REALLY good for your first video!

[@kowhaifan1249]

You just earned a sub, this is peak content esp for a first vid.

[@GT7776]

please make an update video once you find out what it is! this is my childhood game and i remember this object freaking me out

[@EyeGuy-b1x]

if i do i promise i will! thanks for commenting

@@EyeGuy-b1x great first video, you definitely know how to edit

[@benwarr4784]

Wait this is the first vid on this channel??? Thats insane i would never have guessed if you hadnt said that. I hope you continue to make stuff and that you keep enjoying making things!

I heard that indiana jones was suppose to be a James bond game with some of the new cancelled game footage come up. But those videos had voice lines and the earlier ones didn't have any of them. So I don't know what to think really

[@AMentalFailure]

Probably a fanmade or a hoax, before even Lego Indiana Jones 1 entered development Traveller's tales presented 3 prorotypes for Lego games, James Bond, Tom Raider, and Indiana Jones. They shut down James bond because it was too violent and they eventually settled on Indiana Jones, which also removed Tomb Raider as they believed the only two remaining prototypes were too similar. Now this was around early 2005-2006 iirc, so I really doubt they'd try to revive it in 2008 with all the other IPs they had gained access to by that point. Idk, just doesn't sound real considering what TT had done up to that point and what projects they'd rejected.

@@AMentalFailure TT was reconsidering doing James Bond around the time of Lego Dimensions. A test trailer from years ago leaked a few weeks back

[@jessestone7093]

Very interesting video. I look forward to seeing more.

I have never played this game, and now I am deeply invested in this mystery. Subscribed.
