About
Little Big Adventure 2 (also known as Twinsen's Odyssey) is a 1997 adventure game developed by Adeline Software International and published by Electronic Arts, the sequel to Little Big Adventure. LBA2 Remake is a from-scratch reimplementation of both the Little Big Adventure 1 and 2 engines in TypeScript, Three.js, and React, built by full re-engineering rather than disassembling the originals, and running in a web browser. Every island and building from the original games can currently be walked around and most graphical elements are implemented, but the game is not yet completable.
How it differs from the original
It adds an editor mode not present in the originals, letting players navigate scenes, inspect scene content and engine variables, and set breakpoints on actor scripts for debugging.
Getting started
You'll need your own copy of the original game (from itch.io, GOG, or Steam) plus Node.js; after cloning the project and running npm install, an import command reads your game files, and npm run dev starts a local server you can open in your browser.
History
The project has been under public development since at least 2020, with periodic version updates (v0.4 in 2020, v0.5 in 2021) documented in presentation videos.
Known limitations
- gameplay: The game is not completable at this point in development.
