Thanks dude will do =D

Quick Shrub =P

hey azzamat, will you be releasing any of the textures that are made ?
i'd like to try to make something myself but i do not feel like stealing any of your work.
well great job on what youve made so far!
thanks

Lookin cool so far. I remember this game fairly well, was awesome.

I didn't click on this thread with big expectations, but dammit this is awesome. Great colors and what looks to be a solid interpretation of the game. I especially like Aku Aku and your 'squid monster' scene.

If only you had a time machine so you could go back in time and invent the whole game!

^^^ Yeah, that would be nice...
Great work overal, I'm especially enjoying the color choices.

Thanks alot guys I havent done much lately cause i'm pretty busy with uni stuff but I will update stuff soon. Once its finished I will release the UDK level for people to rip apart and all that good stuff =D

I have found that I have a bit of spare time again so I have started doing a bit more work on my Crash Bandicoot scene. I have created this aztec brickwork for the steps. Not sure on it though. Any advice or crit would be appreciated. =D

Finally found a bit of time to start working on this again

Still having a lot of trouble getting a nice art style for the tiki statues and other things like that. Also my stylized rocks still look abysmal

This is literally my favorite game of all time. I still regularly throw it in the PS1 and play it. I am really excited to see how this turns out. It looks great so far.

Working on rock textures, my first attempt was not great

But Im much happier with the second one though its still unfinished any critique would be appreciated =D

Released a demo for the level as it currently stands, Download it! Play it! Crit it =D

The level looks awesome right now. Took me right back to the good old ps1 days.
Too bad you can only get halfway up the stairs :p

Goodluck on finishing the level. I'll keep an eye on this one

actually you can get all the way =P make sure you are using the crash game type and use double jump, though i warn you, once you get past the stairs it gets even less detailed and empty

Makes me want to remake something myself...
I hope the default (and confusing) front-end and player mesh are there because of the lack of time, not some stupid oversight? Other than that, this is perfect. (I sure will whip out the ol' gray box to double-check that )

yeh dont worry that will all get replced once the level is done. I will be putting in the orignal level select as well =D

Ah makes more sense now Even though it took me like 6 times to get up the stairs without falling off the side.

Weird i dont remember the floating robot hands :P

It's either floating hands, default inventory or rewriting the entire pawn.

Took me some willpower to turn the game off once I started "comparing"...
Anyway, some crits after playing the original:
- Object and scene fidelity ain't perfect. I understand that doing it pixel by pixel the same thing isn't the goal here but try to keep the color palette and object alignment the same.
Getting some of the textures out of the game for reference would help a lot.
Example: The boat is too bright, the head is way off and it should be tilted towards the camera.
- Level layout needs work, scale is off in a couple spots. I hope the lack of the split is temporary. Shadow boxes are way too small.
- Wumpas should spin a bit faster, while 1-ups and masks shouldn't rotate at all but hover.
- Camera should not spin or move horizontally at all, it's just fixed on the rail and only the vertical angle depends on your altitude. The collision usually never allows you to go off-screen.
- Foliage borders have variable height throughout the entire level.

I'm curious how did you make the rail camera. Matinee?

Ha I wish it was that easy, its a custom camera script that I found while trauling the internet. Its brilliant you can make a rail track and the camera moves along it in relation to the player its perfect as well for creating a side scroller =D. Also thanks so much for taking the time to compare and play I will add the critique to my to do list.

for anyone who is interested here is a link to the rail camera code. It was create by Joseph Cecot so all credit to him, I just plugged it in =P

A spline is fine too...
Use an old utility called PSicture to extract textures if you ever need to do it. (Just pop the disc in and scan, everything should show up)
For getting sound out there's a similar program named PSound and for music, use PSF files and rip to wave using your music player of choice.

didn't have much luck with PSicture unfortunately, shame it would have been nice to see the original texture sheets from the game =(. Thanks anyway. fortunately all the orignal sound is available to download so I have that already, just need to add it. Will do some experiments with creating tiki style pillars and stuff over the next few weeks.

Hey AzzaMat, I've been following this for quite a while and have been highly impressed with the amount of talent you've put into modelling and texturing alike. I map for Source SDK, and believe it or not, following this thread has inspired me to pick up modelling and stylistic texturing. Anyway, I can totally help you with ripping the textures from Crash 1. I've ripped a ton already from the first level, sunset vista (or lost city), and road to nowhere. I've been attempting to make a map with them:

But yeah if you want me to upload some of the textures from the first level for reference, I'll gladly oblige.
