Despite its limited content and small circle, the 1997 PC title Lego island filled the Liego fans in the brains of the breed of fans to completely tighten itself. The love of the game is so deep that a group of fans spent almost two years in re -making the game’s source code, which is believed to be lost by hand – but it seems that this code was not so lost, eventually.
Lego Island Ruden Project The first half of 2023 continued, and until December 2024, now some minor accuracy is 100 % complete. The process is the process of reverse engineering a given piece of decoration software code, and this is a working working process.
You can achieve a widespread defect of the challenges of the decoration of the island’s decay in the video below Matt K, which has worked primarily as the public face of the project, after some small efforts that are trying to end the game before 2019. The process began with the assumption that the original source code was lost, but towards the end of the video, we really learn that this may not be the case.
Immediately after the decline was completed, Matt KC says “a Lego employee came to ask me if I could help them find more Liego Island’s development content for my internal archives?” So Matt KC offered what material was available, and pointed to them further.
“Well, you don’t know it,” Matt KC says, “After a while I was told that they had actually managed to find a copy of the last retail source code … and no, we have surprisingly, irrespective of that because I removed all these copies.”
So what does all this mean in practical terms? Well, the unofficial rotation is now To feed a project Finally, to create a version of Lego Island that can be ported on modern platforms. This can eventually lead to better ports that we have seen for the rotting N64 classic, but if those plans are present, I have not seen them yet.
But if Lego itself has been able to find the original source code, it sets the door forever for the modern, official, remaster of the game. This, of course. , There is nothing but hope now – but it is hoped that the Lego Island fans have achieved in decades.
