The fact you are going as far as learning the art style of the show and drawing the cutscenes by hand is so awesome! The end result is going to be epic!
to be fair if no one offer him to make this a official release by this quality i would pay to make it happened
It looks real
With such a quality, you really deserve to be hired... Seriously.
Honestly the 2D cutscenes would clash together with the game very well
A billion dollar company wouldn’t make this much effort if this game re-releases…
Extremely impressive work, especially seeing our cutscenes in 2D! I am the Hit & Run lead designer, and it pleases me to no end that the game still brings you joy - and in such a creative way - after all these years.
This game was a large part of my childhood, props to you for the large amount of care that was put into it!

This was one of the first few games I played when I was younger. Arguably the best Simpsons game ever made. You are part of the reason for history sir.
Drawing and animating the simpsons cutscenes in the style of Matt Groening is hands down the wildest thing I've ever seen a modder do in my life.
The 2D translation of cutscenes is the most impressive part of this for me, like the actual in game stuff feels hit and miss so far to me but the translation of cutscenes from 3D to 2D are a night and day difference in quality, they almost look like they're straight from the show which is amazing.
The only difference being they're not trying to make family guy skits for simpsons like the actual creators
@@Zack_Wildfire I haven't watched simpsons since like Season 13 because I occasionally caught an episode on TV in passing and it just looked... bad; People's reviews corroborate that impression too. So I'm a bit out of the loop on that aspect.
True
Hit and Miss?
Not Hit and Run?
@@greatwavefan397 I'm only 27 years old, I'm not dad joke age yet lol
It's starting to look like a lost episode with all the 2D- and I love the dedication.
My jaw dropped when I saw what you'd done with the cutscenes, you have my utmost respect
Honestly, having the cut-scenes be in the style of the show is probably the biggest improvement for me.
It's probably colored better than the show's current look. Leaning a bit more towards yellow than the weird green they've steadily transitioned to over the years,
After almost 16-ish years of the simpsons game, I never took into consideration of how clever it was for the developers to make Lisa's hair a simple flat texture that always faces the camera, really did feel like her entire head was 3D. (at least before me in 2014)
It's a clever illusion.
Mickey mouse ears rule at work here
Mario 64 did it earlier
@@pandequeso doom from 1993 did it earlier
@@pandequeso almost like the video literally says, “like the trees in Mario 64”
Man, those 2D animations are INCREDIBLE. Genuinely amazing stuff! Here's hoping you find a way to get the cell-shading to look the way you want it to.
This is insane, this looks like it'll be a better remaster than I would even expect from the actual devs if they made one
Honestly at this point, considering the fact that the original game came out more than 2 console generations ago, it would probably be easier to just remake it from scratch. Plus they could finally make the last mission of the last level a little bit more forgiving, like just let the timer stop once it reaches the tractor beam. I have seen people rage quit the game because the timer was 0 min 0 seconds and 0.01 milliseconds away from victory and failed the mission.
@@Writing_Gamer_513 You're not wrong, but hey, this doesn't give them the chance to fuck up the gameplay like remakes almost always do lol
I mean it was only two people programming it and barely much time and technology of that time period. They could do great today.
@@Etienne_H I didn't mean the literal original developers, I meant whatever studio the rights would fall to
reubs is making a way better remake
Bro, I've never seen someone more dedicated to preserving a game to go as far as leaning the artist's style and remaking scenes by hand, holy crap bravo
This actually looks insanely good
@KTV 4U it’s a mod so it’s for free
You are doing way more work in the remaster than most companies ever do for profit. And the cutscenes? Perfection.
That "I know it's a cliche" scene is animated perfectly! Looks like it could be straight out of a modern Simpsons episode
"Looks like it could be straight out of a modern Simpsons episode"
That's not something to be proud of.
Better, it looks like something from Season 8 or 9, maybe a little bit before. Back when everything was actually hand drawn, before Flash.
@@houstonhelicoptertours1006 modern Simpson isn't all that bad
@@sonicthehedgehog1606 Ouch!
@@sonicthehedgehog1606 sonic fans only like garbage
Damn those cutscenes look so good, they look straight from the actual series, huge props
Ay Caramba! You reanimated all of the cut scenes from 3D to 2D?! This is an incredible amount of dedication and attention to detail! And it looks phenomenal - like indistinguishable from the show! You seriously deserve to be paid for this work if you aren't already!!
I’m gonna leave this here for you, just for tips: I have a friend who worked on The Simpsons back in 2017; the animation software he used was ToonBoom Harmony which made animation 10x faster to do. I don’t know what program you use, but if you ever want to make the same look that they use in today’s version, I suggest that you study Harmony.
You are a beautiful soul.
I imagine the help is cool but isn't the Simpsons often criticized for how it's animation got more bland over time?
@@CloneLoli That literally has nothing to do with the software that is used.
@@the-NightStar True enough
@@the-NightStar I would argue that the problem is that any computer software was being used. It's totally understandable because going digital saves tons of time and money but the show looked so much better before the switch.
Dude this is honestly insane, it's crazy how talented and dedicated some people are, you need to get hired by a triple A studio dude. It's people like you that change video games
It's thanks to fans like these that we have stuff like sonic mania
Why triple A? He'd just be another cog with no way to express himself or "change video games".
@@HwoarangtheBoomerang Yeah, just another worker that accomplishes orders
no he needs to become an indie dev
@@feloniusduck183 You do realize that he's just taking everything the og devs did and just putting a fresh coat of paint on it, right?
He's a great artist, no doubt about it. But being a vg dev is a completely different thing than being a graphic artist. He's not even putting anything into the game. Just reskinning.
He could be working for an indie dev. Becoming one though...not so sure tbh.
I'm so impressed by this, the personal dedication to drawing handmade cutscenes is just astronomical. Keep this up, and imma be buying this somewhere.
The 2D cutscenes look incredibly professional. I never particularly disliked the 3D cutscenes, but there's no contest between yours and the originals.
The cutscenes feel like they're straight from the Radioactive Man episode! Quality stuff! Also now I'm hungry for some "FEEF" whatever that is.
Why specifically that episode?
@@kabhes9040 I always thought that episode looked different animation wise. A quick googling reveals the Radioactive Man episode in season 7 was the first to be digitally coloured, a method that wasn't attempted again until season 12, causing the Radioactive Man episode to look just a little bit different than all the others around it.
FEEF-A
@@inhalemusic8926 Thanks for explaining
@@inhalemusic8926 ohhh that explains all! i always felt that episode was out of place
The fact you reanimated the cutscenes in 2d by hand speaks volumes about your dedication and resolve to do what you love. I hope you extend your talents and achieve great heights. People like you deserve recognition for such qualities.
wow dude, fully re-animating the cutscened in 2d will be a massive feat but you seem to be so overflowing with talent that learning and applying the artstyle was just a part of the process for you
insane work
Huge props on those cutscenes
They look like they were made officially, the fact you had to take time to learn the artstyle to do them by hand is amazing and really shows the dedication
I love how even after all these years, hit and run still has cultural relevance strong enough for many people to do things like these for it. Good stuff man, you can feel the passion from this.
The fact you literally learned to draw the freaking Simpsons exactly like Matt is... Just wow. The dedication. The countless hours. This is insane in the best ways. Absolutely AMAZING.
The art style is so simple they it’s hardly an art style at all tho. 🤨 a toddler could draw like that
@@Brainsore. make a video of you drawing bart, then
@@nvrmind1497 oh boy i cant wait to see how this turns out
@@nvrmind1497 It's pretty simple to draw them honestly, but animating characters takes a lot more work. When you look at The Simpsons there aren't many major details with the character designs.
@@nvrmind1497 hes been real quiet
This dude literally said “Fine, I’ll do it myself.”
What a legend 🙌🏻
Every single day since I've seen this I pray that this incredible project doesn't get struck down somehow. I would be so happy to replay this game again, but with this much respect put into it. So much respect for doing this.
Hey man, the fact that you’re going out of your way to animate every single cutscene is really impressive! I’m an animator, so if you need any help with anything, I’d be more than happy to help
upvote this man

@@MariusBoss11458 yeah, sorry if I was rude. I upvoted anyways

This looks absolutely incredible! The animations looks exactly like the cartoon. Cant wait to see more of this project!
Those cutscenes look exactly like the current year animation from the show. I’m super impressed
The dedication is insane, i never played hit and run but this made me want to play that AND this mod. The cutscenes will probably make this one of the best modded remasters ever.
The 2D animation is so damn convincing, you really did a great job of nearly perfecting the animation of the show. Hand drawing things are hard, but animating by hand while being limited to a certain style takes dedication.
The talent and passion in every single detail! Those cutscenes look almost like if they’re created by the same Matt Groening!
Matt isn't very good at drawing. he has very crude drawing styles. the cleaned up characters were done by David Silverman and Korean animators. Matt still draws sloppy Ullman era to this day. He's a doodle artist. It is one of the biggest misconceptions that they think Greoning does the characters haha he does a rough doodle and Silverman cleans it up.
I adore how you not only update the look of the game. But Hand-drew the Cutscenes to look like the show during the era Hit and Run was realized. Cheers! And the animation is just fantastic. I have high expectations for this mod. Good Luck Friend!
Wow the animation really does look spot-on to the actual show
Buenas gato, ya flipaba con el retexturizado de los carteles y la idea de rehacer todas las texturas pasándolas a alta definición, pero lo de las animaciones en 2D hechas totalmente a mano, te han quedado increíbles, vaya trabajazo, sin duda mucho mejor y con más amor que el original, mi más sentida enhorabuena y ánimos.
En cuanto a lo de Lisa, le tendrás que dar una vuelta, hacerlo en 3D parece la mejor opción, quizás mirando algún merch de Lisa en 3D. Lo del plano del pelo que siempre mira hacia la cámara me parece una solución creativa en el original, esto se debe hacer exportando el objeto por separado con el eje a la altura del centro de la cabeza, luego se coloca en el motor grafico dentro del hueso de la cabeza y con el script procuras que siempre se quede mirando hacia la cámara añadiendo además un offset a la rotación para que este en su sitio.
The hand drawn animation honestly takes the cake, while I don't believe its perfect, I don't expect it to be. This isn't a high budget remaster but instead a painstaking, blood, sweat, and tears genuine fan remaster. Its honestly an incredible start and I hope to see more.
I love the style he used, good mix of the Matt’s style from the earlier seasons (not quite season 1, maybe season 2-3) and the early use of Digital Style before the Movie, it also fits with the time the game was originally released
And the amount of effort put into learning from show reference sources too. Wow.
“I don’t believe its perfect” maaaan gtfo this is spot on.
this dude really had the nerv to say "while i dont believe its perfect"
@@nickelbrickell While it's otherwise on-model, in some places the inking lines aren't quite thick enough to match the show art, and there's also a fair few imperfections in the character art during perspective changes. Not something most people pick up on unless they've really tried to do professional work or touchup jobs, but it's enough to not quite hit the "perfection" mark for those who know how the joe goes.
A few minutes in: "You know, this guy clearly isn't a world-class artist or animator, but this video is a really interesting look into someone with passion, skill, and dedication, pursuing what they love and learning as they go. I really appreciate that, and will upvote this."
A few minutes later: "So I decided to do it all by hand and learn Matt Groening's art style."
Holy shit, man. Great job.
It's insane how legit the cutscenes look
The thing you're looking for with Lisa's hair is called a billboard texture, also great job on the cut scenes! The movement feels a little slow, but considering you're just translating the 3D movement into 2D I think it's great
Wow, the cutscenes look FANTASTIC!
The Lisa model... yeah, I think it's best to leave it vanilla. Same for cell-shaded Bart. If we could find a way to make them look like they did in The Simpsons Game it would be the best possible result, but until then I guess it's better if we leave it as is.
Overall, you're doing an AMAZING job, my guy!
For you, it may not feel like it some days. But the work you do is what great animators are made of. Groening, Povenmire and Marsh, Hillenberg, Hartman. Tartakovsky. They only did what they did for themselves and for us. And stuff like this, is why they did it. Keep it up Gato!
Those cutscenes were beautiful my man. All the movement, expressions and timing felt right out of the show itself. Absolutely fantastic work.
4:27 straight up looks like it's a screenshot from an episode, that's phenomenal. Keep up the good work!

No bro eso es mío, toma te regalo una demanda multimillonaria y me quedo con tu proyecto y lo vendo 🙃🙃🙃

@@baseddoggie my comment was a joke btw you know that
The 2D drawing of cutscenes is absolutely amazing. I’m not a Simpson fan (of the game or the show) but this is insanely impressive work! Keep it up!
Then how did you stumble on this
@@SlushiFoxEdits Just like me
THE STYLE IS SSCARRRY GOOD! I know how hard it is to nail the Simpsons artstyle, and this is incredibly commendable. Many of these look like complete screenshots from the show. I truly admire your work!
Edit; THE WALK CYCLE BLEWWW ME AWAY!!!! :O
Hey, as a person who has years of experience with toon modeling, I have some suggestions that might help your problems:
Let me say first that I don’t know the exact tools you’re working with, so I don’t know the limits of what you’re able to do. But I’m assuming the cel shader you’re using isn’t actually a true cel shader. Rather it’s a post processing effect that turns off lighting and outlines the outside of objects. So I’m gonna work off that assumption here.
On bart’s no-nose issue: for blender, look up the “inverted hull method”. Essentially it involves using a solidify modifier to duplicate and flip the mesh so that the second mesh is only visible from certain angles, thus creating true outlines. It sounds complicated, but it actually only takes 30 seconds to set up.
On bart’s weird shadows: look up “toon normal editing”, again for blender. This one’s a lot more complicated so it’s not really needed if you don’t plan on having realtime shadows.
On Lisa’s hair: look up “billboards”. They’re meshes that always face the camera. This would not be done in blender, but in-engine.
One final tip: if you still feel you’re not getting enough definition, try manually painting lines or cel shading directly on the textures. For example, the spikey bits of bart’s hair could be outlined in black on the texture sheet so they’re always visibly outlined no matter the angle.
I hope this comment isn’t overwhelming (or condescending). I just find half the battle is knowing the terminology of the problem you’re looking to fix. I hope I was helpful, and good luck with the remaster! I’m in awe at your hand drawn animation!
This is a great comment. I also mentioned billboarding in my comment but I couldn't think of the terms for the other problems
Awesome information
I’m sure this would be really helpful!
I wonder if there's a place for knowing the terminology for all 3D art, because some stuff is confusing as hell to figure out without the right words
@@goku_dunker_420 yeah, a lot of my learning was spent figuring stuff out myself. BUT in the past few years there’s been a ton of new resources and youtube channels for this stuff! For example, Raymond Cripp’s development logs have super good explanations of concepts, and Royal Skies has great 2 minute tutorials. And if you’re looking for more advanced stuff, Daniel Kreuter, Nhij Quang, and Activemotionpictures are all incredible.
Edit: also since I just realized you said all 3D art and not stylized, I’ll add on Blender Guru’s 3D donut tutorial. It sounds silly but he uses modeling a donut to walk you through learning the tools and terminology of blender.
You know, having the cutscenes remade in the show's animation style is a simple, yet genius idea if the game got remade!
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!

While I feel the character models could use some work (I didn’t even realize they were from The Simpsons Game until it was pointed out) the 2d cutscenes are amazing and honestly look like official art
this is just absolute dedication, textures drawn by hand in a higher res, remodeled characters, AND cutscenes in the matt groening style? you absolutely deserve more credit than you have right now. when i saw the cutscenes its like watching a cut episode/preview to another episode. i cant wait to see what you have in store whenever this releases
Man, this is such a thought out remaster. I am looking forward to seeing the next update!
4:49 looks just like a scene in the show! Jesus!
I'm assuming we're a long way away from this being available but maybe someone important will notice your hard work and hire you for an official remaster project this is some seriously impressive work my guy
That's what i was thinking. At this point they could hire him and flesh his 'team' out with a handful of others to speed things up and call it an official remaster.
Taking the time to hand-draw and animate every 3D cutscene in 2D, and the fact that it's indecipherable from the actual cartoon, is baffling.
Oh my God, dude. The 2D animation and drawings look as good as the show! That is absolutely amazing!
Going above and beyond to follow Matt's style of how he created The Simpsons, and then seeing it in practice as essentially perfect is truly going that extra step for this mod. Well done! Very well done!
infamous 2 fan spotted, two thumb up 👍👍
SO far amazing dude! The mod looks really awesome! I still do watch The Simpsons. But with Disney+
Don't eat feef
this guy is absolutely insane for doing all of this for a fan project and i love every second of it
0:28 don't eat feef.... Is everything just being put through an ai upscale like the GTA remasters?
The effort to preserve every little detail in this remaster mod is insane, the cutscenes look like they're taken right out of an episode of the show.
On a side note, is the "FEEF" on the sign a gag I don't get?
no it's just the way the ai did the resolution upscaling, it happened with the gta remake.
@@adepressedcatwithabadnicot246 I don't think that's what is actually happening, the fonts are different and stylized differently, it also doesn't have any of the artifacts upres'd ai images do. It looks like they did that themselves in photoshop. If it's not an actual mistake, it's probably a nod to the bad GTA upscaling
@@jordanseaward4499 GTA's upresing for text was the same way though. The ai was clearly interpreting and rendering new text from scratch.
Noticed it too but it was still funny
@@Rhodochrone that was literally some of the dudes behind texturing not fully understanding the english language since they were foreign, this isn't some kind of future utopia where AI can even generate text based images AND also upscale an image behind it WHILE getting rid of the background behind it dude, everyone who's been saying that just saddens me if people think it's true (and the fact that the first to ever get this technology would be grove street games like WTF?!)
The dedication to the remaster for those 2D cutscenes is unreal, it was surreal to me how spot on it all was!
I would say the lines on Kent Brockman felt a touch too thick but I was blown away by the quality of Quimby and the rest of it!
What program did you use to animate the 2D scenes?! They look like they are from the actual show!
2:09 hm.. this is gonna sound harsh. but why not just learn how the Simpsons game and SM64 did it? get into contact with Kaze Emanuar/his discord/his coding friends. those wizards have completely dismantled the SM64 source code. coding camera tracking objects/textures is probably a singe for them. (singe? sinch? i dunno.) it's way more elegant than your solution, which is probably why those games use it.
you *did* do really well at faithfully replicating the new HD cell shaded Simpsons models, used in modern Simpsons episodes. and yes, those are 3D models hey use in the new show. that's why (nearly) every shot is on model, nothing ever looks flat, they can crank out new episodes like a bakery cranks out bread, etc. you think they hand draw every scene? fuck no. modern animation is at least half about cost cutting/time saving techniques.
Dude just deadass studied Simpsons art style and applied it to redo 3D animations in 2D. That's some *stupid* dedication and I absolutely love it. I'm now subbed and I wanna see where this goes, because this looks amazing.
Dude you are crazy. You studied the original art style of the show and redrew the cutscenes by hand. WHAT. Your version is much better.
"Rotoscopy didn't look right so I just learned how to draw the characters using design references from Matt Groening"
Well, damn. You did a great job.
This looks absolutely stunning, I'm suprised how amazing the cutscenes look
muy buen e increíble trabajo amigo, me imagino todos los problemas por los que pasaste pero el progreso que realizaste en tan poco tiempo ha valido mucho la pena, nunca jugue mucho este juego pero ahora lo estoy considerando a pleno, espero que no te estés sobretrabajando con todo esto, eso puede deteriorarte demasiado en muy poco tiempo, intentaré apoyar como pueda de igual manera, muy buen trabajo!
Everything here is amazing, especially the animation! It's so accurate to the official style!
Excellent work, that intro shot is amazing!
Disney aren't litigious, I'm sure they'll be 100% cool and fine with this.
This is what I call professionalism
Bro you’re literally recreating a masterpieces with so much talent, the state of the current gaming industry is so unbelievably bad with all that cooperate none sense. So impressive that you managed to do this all by yourself
Those redone cutscenes look so good, they look like they came from the official studio!
1:23 supongo que es el karma por siempre arruinar la vida de Bart y su familia 😎👌🏻.
This is incredible. Amazing work!
I didn't know I needed this, but now I definitely do !!
This looks absolutely amazing, the animation is almost indistinguishable from the show. I can't wait to play this.
Im REALLY looking forward to your take on this. I love the renaissance of H&R mods lately, one the first games I ever played as a kid :)
They need to hire this man for an official Simpsons Hit and Run Remake
This looks amazing, I'd watch the ENTIRE game if it were cinematicly recreated and remastered in this animation
The 2D cutscenes looked too perfect that looks like it came from the show. Man, great job!! My congrats!! I would love to experiment this game when it get completed 👏👏👏👏👏

@@AverageUser- how? Apu was litterally the most successful and well liked man in all of Springfield lol
You have my immense respect on being willing to hand draw and learn how to animate the characters.
I’ve never played this, but I now will once the mod is released.
The decision to have the cutscenes be animated in 2D is really effective, with the backgrounds using rotoscope and the characters being more hand-drawn.
Given the story of Hit & Run feels like an episode of the show, it makes perfect sense if the cutscenes with animation in a similar quality, which shows the love put into it.
I would've love to see some inspiration from their early iteration, to go along with the rest of the redone 2d animation. Like some of the better animations & the extended bits to give the player a bit more context.
The cutscenes in 2d is actually a nice touch and an eloquent fix to work around your abilities. Nice work.
The cutscenes are the most exciting part imo. It really worked for the Simpsons Game
Those 2d cutscenes looks phenomenal! Literally looks like the show, great job! 👏
4:16 looks like a vice city mod
love the new animations but i can't help but notice a little error with bart's lipsync at 4:47. his mouth stops moving before he finishes saying "ay carumba"
thanks,! I had not noticed, apparently I lost some frames in the rendering, thats what happen that, for example when apu rests on the grid some frames are missing
Dear sweet Lord, I was okay with everything...until he came to the cutscenes. That's when I got my 'wut' face on. By hand! This is mind breakingly amazing.
I can not believe the amount of love and passion you are putting into this. absolutley insane.
Dudes also hilarious. This is next level stuff.
Dudes also hilarious. This is next level stuff.
That's some true dedication! Learning how the animation is actually done and then replicating so well. My hat's off to you, great job!
With everything going on in Game Development. Games being pushed out are rushed and no fun. FOX if you read this. Work with this creator and the guy remaking the game itself in Unreal. The people that love these games so much that they spend time on projects like this means it's a labor of love and know what is best for the game. People will buy THIS over something slopped together.
Man, I wish you luck with this project, just seeing that animation really says how much dedication you're putting into it. It has it's flaws, but it's still so damn good with the level of effort you're putting in it.
