From Java to Unreal

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1836532c-a55e-4be0-9bbf-948f92d977e0.mp4

For a long time now, I have been obsessed with the idea of revealing to people a simply insane masterpiece from the era of games on push-button telephones.

The game is inspired by stylish sources, Silent Hill, Lynch, Forbidden Siren

This game is "Nowhere", it is written in Java, I made a complete transfer of the code logic to Unreal, and decided to try to restore the scene of the original game

This is just amazing, I can't take my eyes off it

Any chance we get to play this port?

bittertears@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 23h (2 replies)

Yes, but after some time, hopefully in a couple of months

I will definitely finish this port, it's my ode to this game, I like it too much to abandon it

Awesome! Great work! Could you please post an update here when you launch it?

You just jogged my memory about a surprisingly complex Metal Gear game I had on my Nokia N95... It was in third-person side view (Shinobi style) and some stages had you piloting a drone to areas you couldn't reach? Looking back I can't find any reference to it... maybe it wasn't an official Metal Gear game but some sort of "off brand" game that was implied to be like Metal Gear?

It was an interesting era of surprisingly capable games that is mostly lost to time as the iPhone came not long after and dominated the scene.

This game looks cool, will check back in later!
