LBA2 Remake

A LBA2 / Twinsen's Odyssey reimplementation in JavaScript / Three.js / React

Live demo (or Editor mode)

Vision / goals

• Reimplement the LBA2 game engine
  • Should look and play like the original
  • Full re-engineering instead of dissassembly-based approach
  • Focus on code quality, make it easy to read and modify
• Build a remastered version of the game
  • Improve graphics and gameplay in a way that preserves the original look & feel
  • More of a HD-version than a remake
• Become a platform for modding (editor-mode)
  • Progressively add tools to the editor to support mods
  • Have all tools grouped in a single integrated platform
  • Leverage web technologies to enable fast and flexible multi-platform development

Setup

• Make sure you own a copy of the original game: GOG or Steam
• Copy the *.HQR, *.OBL, *.ILE files and the VOX folder from the original game install folder to www/data
• (TODO) Import the musics and videos as mp4 (no script available for that at this time)
• Download Node.js
• Run npm install
• Run npm run dev-server
• Fire up your browser at page http://localhost:8080
• Enjoy!
