3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

It's been 20 years, and The Simpsons Hit and Run developers are just as surprised as you that the cult open-world game hasn't got a sequel yet (www.gamesradar.com)

Someone should really remaster and remake this game.

A fan did it, but cant release it publicly for obvious reasons

This makes game development look much more fun than it probably actually is

Like with any skill, the yt videos feature the 1% of the time when they get to show off progress. But of course the other 99% of the time is spent on the struggle bus. And like with any skill, if you can learn how to slog through the lows, the highs can be a very rewarding experience.

There's really nothing like seeing someone play your game for the first time. I assume it's similar to a musician showing off their music, or a director showing off their film. But that interactive element is very unique; getting to see how people interact and respond emotionally to this thing you built. Actually, maybe it's like being a toy maker.

I've been playing an unofficial HD remaster on Switch these days, pretty solid work

Whaaaa? Where? The dude said he couldn't release because of copyright. Is it on torrents?

You could probably find it, but personally I simply followed the instructions on GitHub: https://github.com/ZenoArrows/The-Simpsons-Hit-and-Run

Thanks! I thought you got a hold of that remake done in Unreal Engine.
