PROJECT LMDE Q&A

Hello. This post was written to give more insight into the new Project LMDE.
=================================================================================================================

Q: What happened to the old LMDE? This looks different, where's the old stuff?

A: This first trailer only includes footage from Area 1. In time, you will come to find that this mod is quite varied. Admittedly this trailer doesn't really do a great job at capturing the whole picture. This is just the beginning.

=================================================================================================================

Q: When's it coming out? Will there be another super-hiatus?

A: The release window is Winter 2026. Unfortunately, I'm just a guy making a game. I don't have any funding, or a team I'm directly working with, so delays are always possible. I do want to emphasize that it's really happening this time. In 2022 I created a mod in three months for a contest. It wasn't my best work but it taught me a lot about making actual gameplay and managing my time. Most of the old LMDE trailers were honestly just smoke and mirrors, but now I know what I'm doing! Kinda.

=================================================================================================================

Q: Will it run on real hardware like Wii and GameCube?

A: Yes! That's the plan. I don't have a modded GameCube to test on but the goal is to get everything running on Wii at least. Closer towards release I'll make sure to have tests done on GameCube too.

=================================================================================================================

Q: How will this play compared to the original game?

A: Quite similarly in individual gameplay elements like ghost catching and puzzle solving, however the game structure is quite different. Project LMDE has four Areas. Think of each area like a thematically unique, confined segment. You can backtrack though! Who know what you'll find... Oh, and every playthrough will be different. Whether it be up to fate or by your own hand, I hope you'll all find a lot of replay value in experiencing the game multiple times.

=================================================================================================================

Q: When will there be updates, and where?

A: This time I want to take a more honest and open approach to the development process. The plan as of right now is to try and have a new upload at least every few months in the form of small showcase teasers of things like new rooms or cutscenes. These will all go up on the same YouTube channel. I also like to make weird LM videos for fun sometimes, so if something is confusing just assume it's art.
