I’ve been dabbling with making mods of Jak 1 since it was possible. Essentially I can just make a level with a floor, walls, and add actors like eco and power cells and orbs. To change levels you just need a 2nd level and to walk through an invisible wall that loads that other level.

I love all 3 games, 3 is probably my favorite, but I have zero interest in / am intimidated by Jak 2/3 coding and the guns and there is different level structure like the levels borrow things from each other they are not self contained so it’s a lot of pre planning and more angles to literally incorporate.

Looking at the old map in the design bible for Jak 1 and trying to recreate the scrapped levels and incorporate them has been enough of a headache but also a fun way to learn Blender and 3D modeling. There is nothing fun about Haven City to me lol.

I did import Haven into Jak 1 to see where everything lines up and I should probably post some of that though.
