would it be possible to port the mini games into a rebuild of ff7 with the unity engine

Bosola · « **Reply #1 on:** 2012-04-14 15:37:55 »

It's possible in the same sense that anything is possible with the right tools. Doesn't mean it's straightforward or worth doing, however.

One COULD spend hundreds of dollars in man-hours (time is money) remaking the snowboarding minigame, but it's easier to just buy the far superior SSX.

I don't know of any substitutes for the submarine game, but it's awful anyway. In fact, the only one I could see any value in is the motorcycle game, and even that's nothing particularly special.

Your project sounds very interesting! Good luck! I'll be following you!

I didn't mean literally spending any money on Unity or anything. I was referring to the fact that for a small fraction of the time it would take to remake a minigame, one could work at a job and make enough money to buy something better. However, if you're remaking the game anyway, and for the enjoyment of making it rather than for the sake of having the end result, I can see your point.

In a remake of FF7, the motorcycle minigame would be sorely missed if it was gone (if nothing else, it's rather important to the plot). Perhaps the snowboarding minigame as well. I'd actually be relieved, though, not to have to fight subs, or play that dang rock-paper-scissors gold saucer fighting game.

sorry i no what you meant now yeah this is fan based remake am not looking to make any money from it and i have a lot of spare time to work on it

if there are features i cannot add there will definately be new optional places to go like the ruins of banora and modeoheim from crisis core but i dont want to change the story line but the battle engine might be open field yet i dont know i havent decided

Doing this solo, and not re-using existing assets? I'd say you'd need over fifteen years.

I'm deadly serious.

Please, please don't invest any of your time in this until you try your hand at a more modest project. My own Rebirth project - basically a spell and difficulty mod - has taken me around a year to complete, on and off. I don't think you realise how much work this stuff entails.

Bosola,
Rebirth is complete? Is it available? Bootleg must assimilate.

Bosola · « **Reply #11 on:** 2012-04-15 19:22:07 »

I'll be releasing the disc one beta tonight.

Unfortunately, I only currently support the PSX version. I will try to produce a PC version at some point in the near future, however.

Hellz yeah. Slowly my interest in FF7 has been building the past few weeks. This may just be enough to get me back into the game again.

Okay, that's a different kettle of fish. However, I do think a remake could gain some unwanted attention by S-E. Also, not being funny, but with a seven-person team, why not create a brand new game with Square's lawyers breathing down your necks?

there not yet but i dont want that attention thats why where not posting on youtube there has been talks among us to ditch the idea and make a sequel of ff7 instead that way its something new and different and we wont be letting anyone down or destroy the original element of the game wheres with a sequel we can experiment different battle systems and story-lines etc or maybe now you suggested make a complete new game with the same sort of story and system but with that idea we could also publish it but lets not get carried away with that yet

at the moment where toying with ideas and different engines so we can get the best out of all the creating tools available please feel free to throw any ideas are way because Bosola is right remaking the original and getting caught would be bad as it would be alot hard work done for nothing

I always deny friend invites by people who are popular on youtube and send spam invitations but I add ff fans as friends... As i mentioned I thought sending to people would motivate in a positive way your team to work... I don't care if the result is rubbish as long as there is this or any ff7 re-make project going on as an idea and not get lost through time... (I sound so ffxiii-2 right now

) For anyone interested there's the link anyway and you are not obligated to finish anything of course.

hi unfortunatly i have been away for a while so havent been able to do much but when i got back i had a email telling me to quit working on it as they was informed are team was going to remake the classic which is a shame as we remade nibelheim to release a progress demo bt now it will be turned in to a new game completely

shame on whoever reported this as no money was been made out of this it was purely for the gamer

LeonhartGR · « **Reply #22 on:** 2012-05-30 13:07:53 »

Don't give up! Same shit happen to many respectful modders. I was following IceLaGlace with his icenhancer mod and he got such stupid report recently. It was just a guy jealous of him. He posted his nickname on facebook and he was a scum too promoting that he can use DX11 support & tessellation on gta4... I'm very interested in your project and the fact you are creating in a new engine is far more interesting for me!
