Ok. Looks like the progress doesn’t still and here is fresh news. Darren Oshea have joined the development on this mod and he have founded the best way to more effectively convert Deus Ex maps to UE4. Here is his first progress:
I have found new way to convert maps from Deus Ex to 3ds max. Big Thanks to FACH! All maps now have been converted and next step will be converting all 3d models (props, characters, weapons, etc.). And now some screenshots from W.I.P.
PS: The link i provided above is about thread’s topic, so if it break in some part rules of Epic forums, please first send me warning message before ban me for that
This is new version of Nanokey Ring. Usage: JC approaching his hand to door panel, ring displays panel code (if it have one in it’s database) then player enters it on keyboard.
But why?! They will slam you with C&D letter at one point and all this work would be for nothing (besides learning experience, which you could have also gained by working on your own intellectual property).
Well - i don’t know what reasons could be to stop my mod making because as i pointed in my first post here:
So it means, that i don’t want to make money on the mod i’m creating in this forum thread. I have at the same time 2 reasons for that:
I love Deus Ex 1 game and fan of it.
I respect copyright and labor of the creators of the original game.
This project for me is some kind of academy of how people must create really cool and interesting games. I’m saying so, because for me the people who stands behind creating Deus Ex 1 is really very talented and i think that i can learn something from them throughout they creation.
PS: Besides of all i have same thread on the square enix forums and if creators will send me C&D letter, then i will stop to show my work public - but still will be creating it at home just for myself) it’s like a hobby for me, that’s all)
I have some thougts about what i’m creating here - and here is what i come up with at some stage of development process:
I thought that simple copying original game to new stage of graphics will be kinda boring. That’s why i have came to conclusion that storyline must go on) - and now i have 2 ideas at the same time i’m working on:
a) This mod will be based on storyline dedicated to Paul Denton. And to be precise - about prehistory of Deus Ex 1. Let’s call it - Paul Denton’s Chronicles.
b) Instead of JC Denton male (if storyline will be based on JC Denton adventures) we may have Denton female main character in game. This idea is not something supernew, because initially authors of Deus Ex 1 have thoughts and plans about that, but didn’t implemented them in early 2000).
I had to look interesting names to main character if it will be woman:
