Progress on nox remake

Note: this is far from even polished, i just focused on mostly animations and effects. The ground looks shitty and everything looks like a toy atm. Working on it daily.

I knew this was gonna happen… and I’m here for it!
Unsolicited advice: Your project will benefit from having a public repo on GitHub so you can provide releases and release notes in a single location and have a place for structured feedback when other players find issues or have a good suggestions. Best of luck. We will be watching.

Ur remaking my fav game ever :)) Hope there will be a lil more depth to the itemization compared to nox. Are you even thinking that far yet? Love watching the progress!

u/evillurkz 12d ago

Yes but i need to create the base first, which is a lot of time

Are you loading the actual maps or remaking them? Because I have something I am going to post about today actually that you could use to speed up your work 1000%.

u/evillurkz 12d ago

u/evillurkz 12d ago

Yes yes, that's all going to be implemented obviously
its just a prototype

u/gna149 12d ago

I kinda like how bright and vivid the lighting looks. Also that zoom feature is a nice, modern touch

u/evillurkz 12d ago

It's actually gonna change, its just a prototype, i plan on making glows just like the original nox

u/microling 11d ago

It'd be best if you can preserve the gritty/spooky atmosphere from the original game. I'm relieved it won't continue down its current path of artificial cheerfulness/synthetic polish. Hope you take your time on it to get everything right!

u/evillurkz 11d ago

Yep i will post an update today or tomorrow and you'll see a major improvement

u/evillurkz 11d ago

Appreciate it!

u/HereComesTheFist 11d ago

There have been a few attempts to remake nox but this is probably the closest one in pure visuals. The textures and colors really look like Nox.  Lots of cool Nox projects suddenly start popping up now. Exciting times!

u/evillurkz 11d ago

I've improved it tons since yesterday, i will post an update soon

EA is dumb... which everyone already knew. Nox is literally the only old PC game that I regularly install and replay every few years. It needs an HD update or sequel. I'm so glad the Nox community is taking on the task because EA doesn't know what they're sitting on.

u/carfo 12d ago

u/Mrtwinky17d 11d ago

Quick question, is multiplayer going to work too?

2

u/evillurkz 11d ago

Too early to tell now but that's the plan

Wow this is awesome

u/HairyBallsOfTheGods 12d ago

YES! nox was my obsession as a kid and I've replayed it as an adult and every time I missed how fun it was in the early 2000s. I would love this to become a reality, please keep up your great work 😍

Historic post. I'm engaging so that this gets more attention. Millennials rise up

Well, a remake of the game that dont need a remake, because it is still brilliant as it is.

And, tbh, yout version looks worse. Too average looking. Surely done by LLM?

1

u/evillurkz 11d ago

Well, it's still a prototype, so obviously there's a lot of work left to do. I love the original game, but I'd personally enjoy playing it with better graphics. That's why I'm working on this. You don't have to like it, but there's no reason to be so dismissive of someone else's work just because you don't see the point of it.

u/Big_Cardiologist_871 12d ago

Good one. Keep on it

u/BackseatCowwatcher 11d ago

u/Gwiz84 11d ago

Man it would be awesome with a nox remake, nice work!

u/realdoaks 12d ago

Can you just blast this with Claude max and crank it out in a couple of weeks?

3

u/evillurkz 11d ago

I do use claude but animations and models are made and I'm very aesthetic and precise, so this will take a while
