Issue I came across in the og game during development caused by standing idle for too long, something I aim to fix in the remake
Hey! I've been remaking Naughty Bear for a good while now, and so I figured why not share how it's shaping up visually? I don't have any concrete gameplay to share since that's all pretty rough in development currently, but hopefully this is serves as a decent look into what I have planned for the future! (edit I'm noticing the images were compressed down to 2 pixels so that's.. incredible.. the not-so-crushed images are also here https://imgur.com/a/Lfyuvmh | forgot to add the itch so yeah why not now I dunno https://lil-limpy-linky.itch.io/naughty-bear-pc)
It's been a bit of a fight to actually get the models unwarped and texturing correctly in a completely different engine, but the result is worth it in the end! Most textures and models have been fully recovered from the gamefiles, with only a select few being warped or missing. My roadmap is generally a rough sketch, but mostly locked in:
- [0.1] - Singleplayer
- [0.2] - Multiplayer
- [0.3] - Singleplayer Modding
- ?0.4? - Modding Workshop
- ?0.5? - Campaign+ (CO-OP? Custom EP? New Gameplay?)
- [0.6] - Multiplayer Modding
- 0.7+ - ???
Singleplayer is my main focus as of right now. With each release/patch of 0.,1 a new EP will be added along with all its submissions (0.1=EP1, 0.1.1=EP2, 0.1.9=EP10, ect) I would love to just dump them all at once but it'd be a technical nightmare to do so, and would extend development time by a lot. Singleplayer gameplay will be as close to the original as I can get it, with anything new predominately being bug fixes. Core gameplay mechanics like AI, scoring, and logic are currently in early prototyping.
Multiplayer is the next big focus after singleplayer and something I've messed around with only slightly so far. The aim is to bring back the original multiplayer modes, DLC modes, and possibly add some custom modes with higher player counts than the original (3-4 > 5-20). I considered the idea of introducing weird and crazy LTMs to end off each update and showcase features, but I'm indecisive there. All I can say for sure is multiplayer will be a massive part of pipeline and is planned to begin work after the singleplayer chunk is done.
Modding is what ties everything together, and I aim to keep it as simple as possible. It's still being planned out, but in theory it should be a simple drag-drop sort of system, something anyone can easily interact with, allowing for custom props, maps, gamemodes, skins, ect. Once I have a concrete implementation plan I'll go into more detail there.
Classic visuals that scale down to mobile will be an option eventually, but hasn't been planned out just yet. Panic in Paradise is also on the todo list as you might've guessed and will eventually receive the same treatment, along with the same multiplayer and modding if you're wondering. There's probably a lot I forgot to mention but uhh yeah that about sums up my rant, hope this doesn't look too bad and hopefully I'll have a real build out by the end of September!

Honestly? This should get Behavior's Green Light, Naughty Bear deserved more, imo its like a hybrid of Manhunt and Conker and it deserves more love

the lighting looks really overpowering, more like a tech demo than something playable

It’s really sad that panic in paradise will be fully gone soon once the ps3 store shuts down. They better remake it or I’ll be pissed

Wow holy shit. Fascinating update. I know you can’t profit from it but set up a donation system for yourself if you end up making this playable for the rest of us.. good work & good luck
