Remaking The Isle 2015 Version in Unreal Engine

NOTHING is going to be released. It's all for PERSONAL USE. I do NOT own any assets shown on the video.
I began development on this recently so it's a heavy WIP

Check out our mods for Saurian! discord.gg/FGcfZ2eHjR

[@Ace-l8z7q]

man what i would give to go back for a lil bit

[@NotCanydes]

Yeah, the 2015 era had just something that the current Isle is missing.

[@AmberFergusonHTK]

you can. you can just play the legacy version ^.^ the servers are still up and a lot of people still play that instead of evrima/the new one

[@wietse9673]

@@AmberFergusonHTKEven legacy can’t compare to 2015

[@rever2228]

It's because hardly anyone played the game. It came out in November 2015 and just had over 200 players a day. At the end of 2016 it had over a thousand players for the first time. I bet if we now had the game from 2015/2016 everyone would still complain. I also assume that you have not played the Isle in 2015. The devs put in more effort than ever before and for this small studio what they are doing at the moment is really good. Unfortunately, some people don't appreciate that.

[@Ace-l8z7q]

@@rever2228 I said for a little bit, for nostalgia sake :)

[@haron5811]

Ah yes the memories about almost completely forgotten times of the isle. Models from the stomping land deadly austroraptors and shant 1 calls

[@NotCanydes]

I can showcase those too once I get them working :)

"Wish I could turn back time To the good old days"

[@thunderzilla3521]

I remember a KZbinr named the Air Conditioner and played the Isle at that time! Nostalgia!😊

[@Melisande777]

I miss you so much stomping land rex. :( I bought TSL years ago and its so sad to see everything disappear.

[@NotCanydes]

The models and the style were so good.

[@blockomaniac]

Sometimes I wanna go back just for a little while to experience the nostalgia lol

[@ChaosFamily100]

I went back and have not left since. I feel it is much scarier and fun then Evirma

[@Ryzawa]

man i remember the alpha version of this game as well, think i have more hours on it than the official isle

[@Eggnog88]

Wish we could rewind time and go back to this.

[@NotCanydes]

Yeah

[@dodoxasaurus6904]

the real glue is when you eat a tree, sit on where it used to be and then when it grows back, be on top of it

[@Aos_Sidhe]

This is all we needed

[@XZaguer]

The thing i regret the most is not buying the game sooner, i lost alot

[@NotCanydes]

Yeah, same here. Btw I love your videos^^

[@XZaguer]

@@NotCanydes thank you thank you :)

Very nostalgic

[@silvertheelf]

OMG! ITS THE PAST! IN THE PRESENT!

[@JustAShyGhost]

Omg i miss that time of the isle so much

[@sunnyd9884]

ah, the nostalgia

[@HOPLIMACHUS]

Has it been so long? I still remember when I played with my friends in Region 2 and the first interaction of V3 and v4.

[@NotCanydes]

About 9 years :D Time flies by

[@sloxi_7256]

finally someone made this video

[@clanka5509]

I remember I used to watch someone play the isle ages ago though it was anth but I couldn’t find the videos I remember

[@paleoavis]

It’s so good that I know how to roll back the version of the game on Steam)

[@deathswornkatarina6734]

looks like pretty cool

[@enexie_nxe]

Anyone remember the bio-luminescent skins?

[@novebee]

Pretty sick!!

[@endershadow1275]

Thats really cool

[@geraldhuff7413]

Man the old isle was such a path blazer it’s such a shame to see how far it has fallen.

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

This is amazing. The classical days isle was definitely the most aesthetic time in the game's history, there was something almost ethereal about it.Would be possible to release it if it wasn't monetized though? As far as I know that should make it technical legal but I'm not positive. Regardless this aesthetic really is amazing and if you have other more original projects it would be good to take general inspiration from this period.

[@NotCanydes]

Thank you! And no I wont be willing to take the risk of releasing this.

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

@@NotCanydes What sort of risk? Either it's illegal or it isn't. I'm fairly certain with creative works you can technically make anything you want if it isn't monetized. Anybody can write a fanfiction for instance. I think it would be more productive to determine if it's illegal or not first, by looking up the issue or asking around in places that would have people more knowledgeable on the subject. But if it's legal why not? It's unfortunate but copying stuff people already know is one of the best ways to get people to know about you and generate interest for other projects as well. I think it'd be worth looking into.

[@NotCanydes]

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 I'm pretty sure it is illegal as these are the original assets from that era. It is legal as long as it's for personal use.

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

@@NotCanydes Okay yeah a quick search suggests it is still illegal to publish or distribute game assets like that. I am convinced there has to be a workaround however. GMOD exists after all. Question though, aren't many of the dinosaur models, trees, and much of the environment from the unreal asset store anyway?

[@NotCanydes]

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Some foliage assets such as the Open World Demo Collection (Or the KiteDemo as it's named in the UE editor). But the original dinosaur models were bought from TSL I believe. But I can surely say this will not be released. I'm sorry.

[@nighty6754]

I need to play this...

[@cosmicreef5858]

I am so waiting on the time when a person/or a group of people fix up legacy and release it as an independent game(i would pay for it to)

[@NotCanydes]

That wont happen as it is illegal

[@Steakk.]

Did you make this or did you just lower down the versions? if not, that's pretty impressive

[@NotCanydes]

I coded it by myself fully. I just took the assets and put them together and made everything functional.

[@kitkat5596]

Forgotten times, brings back a lot of memories.

[@Maestro_guanlongYTT]

Hey, can you make a mobile version please?😢

[@Suzukiatyourservice]

Unpopular opinions, but old isle was better.

[@macacumonkeydluffy]

the sound of the footsteps is exaggerated :]

[@simplyastery]

Broo, ive been wanting to do this but with 4.27. The problem is I cannot make the lighting look good. I was recreating the September 2017 version though.

[@NotCanydes]

Cool! I think you need an older version of the sky plugin

[@simplyastery]

@@NotCanydes uds?

[@NotCanydes]

@@simplyastery Yes, indeed

[@MrQuag-vf8nk]

man this sucks that we can't play this

[@NotCanydes]

Yeah but there's nothing much I can do sadly

[@ErrorFTP]

If you could bring back the OG Isle and revamp everything about it pleaseeee release it to consoles 😢path of titans is great and amazing but I want that night vision and real surviving aspect of a Dino Game !!!

[@Maestro_guanlongYTT]

New sup

[@HammboneBob]

Dondi should've hired you man.

[@NotCanydes]

I'm not really good or talented at this, it's all pretty basic

[@mojolmao1752]

Bro please make a dinosaur game yourself

[@Just1Dev]

Good job. Are u using Umodel to extract the models? Is there a tutorial u watched? I wanna remake The Isle legacy 2017 version.

[@NotCanydes]

I think there are a plenty of tutorials on yt :)

[@Just1Dev]

@@NotCanydes Yea i ported already juvie rex and sub rex and have most of their locomotion now ready with head movement and all their calls working and i made a simple growth system with a timeline. Made a little break for sparking zero hehe but its really fun to work on my own version of the isle. Good luck on your 2015 version :)

[@EvilNecroid]

funny if this ends up being way better then the current game

[@NotCanydes]

Don't get excited, this was just a small side project I randomly work on. Probably wont even be finished. I am currently focusing on modding Saurian.

[@EvilNecroid]

@@NotCanydes aww damn. so is saurian worth buying?

[@NotCanydes]

@@EvilNecroid I guess so if the slow development time doesn't bother you. It's still pretty unpolished and pretty unreplayable. But otherwise it's a fairly good game.

[@hanniaedithmartinezadame794]

I remember

[@Absitiam]

I’d play it

The isle mobile 🗿

[@28.4theONE]

this shi is saurian 😭😭

[@eleixyr]

so.. were are the assets from?, if you can share that information... Because I would also like to make this on my free time, Ive been thinking it this last week... 🤣

[@NotCanydes]

I extracted them by myself

[@NOWAHERRAMAIN]

Would this be on steam I’m guessing you can’t make it payed because that would be copyright but would it be free

[@NotCanydes]

I can't release it.

[@Amburguinho]

If you really want to make this a project, I think I could help you, I'm learning a little about programming and things like that lol

[@NotCanydes]

I don't really have the interest on making this anything and this is a thing I can come back to when bored. Right now I'm busy modding the game Saurian

[@timofeychernyshev475]

great work mate but why.. the isle developers do just the same atm and it looks beautiful

[@NotCanydes]

It helps me learn the game engine (Unreal Engine), and it's something I can fall back to if I got nothing else to do.

[@cosmicreef5858]

If you do not get it then do not comment! The WHOLE POINT of people still returning to the old versions is that something is missing from the newest games. The Isle's atmosphere was SO MUCH BETTER! If you can not relate to that feeling than the Isle will feel like just as any other dinosaur game without the uniqueness.

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

@@cosmicreef5858 They probably came after that phase of the game so they don't understand the atmosphere and aesthetic appeal of that era.
