Now that Hogwarts Legacy’s release date has been set for next year, after a recent release delay, the young developer and Harry Potter fan has taken it upon himself to remake the upcoming RPG in Unity to help them learn more. about game development.
While this fan-made version of Hogwarts Legacy is never made public, indie developer Arnie is making it to help hone his craft, and it looks like a lot of fun. For the avoidance of doubt, this has nothing to do with the Avalanche Studios game, Arnie even refers to his game as “The Henwarts Legacy” just to be sure.
The open-world game uses an imported Hogwarts castle and a range of Unity assets and plugins to help create Wizard-related terrain and architecture, and Arnie even creates game mechanics and magic spells to match.
Some of the spells in the Hogwarts Legacy fan game are pretty simple, like a spell that lights your wand in dark areas, or one that picks up objects for a short time. On the other hand, Arnie created a spell that turns an object into a chicken, and another that allows you to catch a chicken.
The second half of Arnie’s Hogwarts Legacy video is filled with cinematic and gameplay footage that really shows how much effort it takes to make a fan game. There’s a covered bridge, moving stairs, and even Hagrid. Robbie Coltrane doesn’t reprise his role, but the text-to-speech works just as well.
Of course, this project is not as ambitious as the official Hogwarts Legacy, but the commitment to creating the world of Harry Potter and the associated game mechanics is certainly admirable and will surely live up to the expectations of Hogwarts Legacy.
The Making and Journey of Arnie is a refreshing look at game creation, and if you ever want to dive into the world of development, it will show you what it takes to create a game world and the mechanics behind it.
If you’re eagerly awaiting the release of Hogwarts Legacy, you may not have to wait too long for the update, as developer Avalanche Studios recently teased the community that the team is “well aware” that everyone wants to see Hogwarts Legacy. . gameplay
The creator of the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling, has made several transphobic comments on social media in recent years. Although WB Games states that “JK Rowling was not directly involved in the creation of the game”, it is based on her work and it is not yet clear if she will receive royalties from its sales.
