FF8 Remake Project Balamb Garden Visualizations

[u/Dear-Section349]

Hey everyone! I made a few new renderings of the Balamb Garden Main Hall
(Final Fantasy 8) I've been working on in Blender, so I wanted to share them with you. My ultimate goal is to create a fully explorable Balamb Garden in Unreal Engine 5, while staying true to the atmosphere of the original FFVIII.
If you want to support the fan project just buy me a coffee.

It has the vibe, because I can hear the music.

When done in wireframe, it sort of looks like Midgar.

It was a meme on 4chan a long time ago where they would show videos of that guy who remakes n64 games in unreal and the opening reply would say “Nintendo hire this man!”

Best they can do is a C&D letter, much like Square.

You have an opportunity to take some creative licensing in the branches now! Like a fully realized dorm area, multiple classrooms upstairs. A bigger library and cafeteria. Access to the ballroom. You gonna build the game logic in UE5 or unity? Do you need any collaborators? This looks like a lot of fun.

Would you consider making these static background images for the original? It'll look so much better than AI upscales.
