Hey dude, this is great work

Another good one!

Some really excellent advice and incites, thank you!

I'm loving these dev tours. Also the fact of taking a look from the inside of one of my favourite games is awesome!

these are criminally underrated

Super cool conversation and fascinating stories! I love how Falko is like: there are no easter eggs in this one and then goes "that's my bike" :D

This channel is a blessing

Loving these dev tours. Really interesting for someone like myself who is still finding my feet in the industry

Should have played this game. The Level Design Blockout along with the finished asset is a beautiful way to look at game development. The real life inspirations, especially the Scotland canyon shot at 10:13 - amazing. My favorite environment was the caverns though - and the vista reveal of the beautiful temple - wow.... To be able to create that and play it in game - what a feeling for devs.

So I've been playing through some of the newer Zelda games and it's impressive how they created their world as seamlessly as they did. It's mentioned in this video that Hogwarts Legacy had some optimization work that needed to be done, but what would need to happen to remove the various barriers around the world so that I could fly from the Ravenclaw common rooms over to Hogsmead without having to get off the broom or go into a separate instance?

These are incredibly well-made and provide some incredible, rare insight into some of our favorite games! Please keep the awesome content coming!

Really great walkthrough, keep it up! Can't wait to see what you cover next. Although definitely out of the scope of this series, but I would love to see breakdowns of specific assets, hoping to learn techniques to help my own work.

Love these developer tours Dan!

First time i saw the guards fighting, is when this became one of my favourite games lol. I love the level of detail put in every room and corner. It makes me want to open unreal and try replicating one from scratch

Technical wise it’s basically an elaborate loading door While some sections can be cut off, it allows for priority loading of scenes Going through that crack is a little animation that takes a certain amount of time which allows it to unload assets that are out of render and load more around the area you have just entered At least that’s what I use mine for. It’s a cheeky way to keep it flawless fps without having to worry about too many level assets being loaded at once and taking up the v ram on your card

Can someone explain what is the Slice mesh technique that was used to hide the seams in the cliffs?

Wow. As a game dev student and indie dev who's working on my first commercial product, I love this. I hope it continues to be a series. I'll watch the Jedi Survivor dev tour next! I greatly appreciate hearing yours and Lee's expertise on such an enjoyable game.

cool series! looking forward to more tours

im watching this modding for the sims rn.. been watching all your stuff while i do this lol

Womp womp

The temple reveal is an incredible moment in the design. Really great work here!

Cheers for having me on, this was a blast to do ! :D

So interesting - well facilitated!

Subscribed! Great video!

These are awesome, keep em coming!

Fantastic!! This series is fantastic! Keep em coming!!!

Oh ok now i'll consider playing the game.

first

When I first saw HP2 Chamber of Secrets, my mind went - "I wish this was a game- oh how amazing that would be, ill play the heck out of it." Fast forward to Hogwarts Legacy and this is the game that I wished for but due to time I was unable to play it. Partly your fault- keeping us reigned in Star Citizen :) I did enjoy the conversation nevertheless.

Thank you so much for sharing this 💕 I wish they would make a full ‘making of’. I wasn’t a fan of the Harry Potter universe before this game and just fell in love with everything. Now, if I am ever having a bad day, I walk through Hogwarts or through the Highlands 🥰

This was a fire recommendation from the algorithm and I'm so happy I watched it, it was so interesting

RIP Sad Mop

8:25 I absolutely LOVE all the tiny details in HL-they play a huge role in making it my top #0 game ever 🥹🥹🥹

This is absolutely amazing! We need more videos like this! Awesome stuff Dan. I've been a game dev for over 10 years and now I'm a CG supervisor. Jason, Rick and Samir are next level, I'd love to work with them!

Cool!!! I hope this will continue into the next game and/or DLC. Amazing!

That’s beautiful

So cool to see the passion behind the scenes and it’s the corporate overlords that harmed the game. I think this could have been one of the best games developed in the last few years if they had another year to work on it. Hopefully the next game will be an improvement and not just them phoning it in because Harry Potter sells.

Love this! The comparison to the IRL locations was incredible. Great work all round :)

These videos are awesome, keep going you’re gonna blow up with these!

That's really a lot of easter eggs. A lot.

Thanks for having us on! Was a real pleasure mate

I randomly clicked on this video and the last thing I expected to hear was anything related to CIG lol

amaaaazzinnng thnak you

Can you ask him about the big cuts? Like the "night gameplay" in the castle, restricted movement at night was cut by the looks of it? Thanks so much for this vid it's so interesting as a level designer myself!

the talent is definitely there with this game. i wonder how this game did on ign rating. i saw it on steam

Wow thanks a lot for this Interview. It is wonderful to hear that the designers have as great of a love for this world as the gamers.

i think this could have been uncut. just to walk with you trogh the castle with the developer was amaizing

compared the one in the movies, this hogwarts is absolutely trash, graphics are muddy like its a 2011 game, npcs are soulles, optimisation does not exist. they made a hogwarts game without quidditch :D you failed as developers, but the title was so big that it became the best seller

The Hogwarts legacy music truly does not get enough recognition. It's difficult enough to create a compelling game soundtrack, but to make a soundtrack that needs to be not only compelling, but also sound INDISTINGUISHABLE from John Williams' iconic soundtrack is truly amazing. I genuinely can't tell the difference between the movie soundtrack and the game. Mind blowing.
