Hello there, map maker here. Thanks a lot for playing and making a video of my level level. Seeing the genuine excitement in people make every hours this took worth it.
Kuitar, I really am speechless. I think I speak on behalf of all Jak & Daxter fans when I say, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINALLY BREATHING SOME NEW LIFE INTO THIS GAME. We have been starving! I look forward to the Progress on the Forbidden Lands and will continue to cover it here. Keep up the FANTASTICAL work bro
This is incredible - so excited to see more! I see you're using the music from the original game. In case you're looking to incorporate something new, this guy has incredible original soundtracks for Jak and Daxter themes: ruclips.net/video/BjpIlgJJ2S0/видео.html
That moment when fans have more passion for the games than the developers... AND they do better work! Why not just hire fans and modders alike, have them make the games or DLCs? Give 'em tools and money = profit for all Daxter: "But NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
@@AsteroSloth Yeah? Doesn't mean they don't care about the series more. Especially with Jak who's own people dev team at Naughty Dog wishes they were making another game.
Man I am also hardcore fangirling. That Precursor structure looks like it's modeled after the spaceship at the end of Jak 3, looks like a nice nod from the creator. This is some amazing stuff, truly. It's nice to see that my favorite video game franchise still lives
The yellow sage should have had his own hut/ village and environment around it. I hope they can flesh out the full world that was in the Jak and Daxter design bible.
5:52 it’s like the precursor rooms or whatever from Jak 3, at least it looks like it. It especially looks like the place where you learn Daxter is a precursor.
So amazing. I share your enthusiasm. It really is such a great thing, the gaming community does great things sometimes, this is a perfect example, coming together to create something great and breathe life into Jak and Daxter
Custom Jak 3 content would be absolute bliss. Imagine summoning massive purple lightning storms with Dark Jak and having open-ended flight mode with Light Jak.
if Insomniac did not have their hands full with spider-man would it be absolutely fantastic if they could make an official sequel to jak 3 or maybe even upscaled the daxter game to a full fletched console game to go alongside hd remakes of jak 1-3
Just imagine the love this franchise gets from the fans... fans that are actually continuing the game, creating new levels and hopefully, in a few years, new games ❤️ it's a shame that the developers decided to not continue
This is so cool. What’s even more exciting is that if AI ever gets to a good enough point, we can input samples from the original game and if could generate pretty accurate audio for custom voice lines or even cutscenes
I was always bummed with the direction they took with Jak 2 and 3. The original Jak and Daxter is such a perfect vibe. Seeing someone bring a proper Jak and Daxter 2 to life is magical. Genuine well thought out level design, original assets that fit the theme, I love it. I hope they can get a team together cuz this is an insane amount of work for one person.
This brings me back! It's not too long ago i went back to go and 110% this game again. I LOVED this game to the max and to see somebody giving it more love - is just *chefs kiss* looking forward to any updates on this!
I want to see a game movie of all the cutscenes with Jak and Gol's models swapped along with Maia and Keira, with everyone saying the names matching the characters.
Jak and Daxter made a cameo in Rift Apart, maybe Insomniac can handle a new game, after all Insomniac and Naughty Dog always have been on good terms since when they were working under Universal, so it's not something unrealistic
when it comes to 2001 video games, i wish jak had the type of community and content the melee community has. excited for jak for the first time in forwver
@TheGamersJoint Very good video you posted here, Jared! Jak fans have indeed been starved! Dunno if you've read my comment(s) on your other recent videos as of this date, seeing as you've talked about many of my own thoughts and observations. Frankly, I'm just glad there are others who share my perspective :-) Some notes I made along the way: - Programming: People are still discovering secrets hidden in the data files. For example; people have discovered a deleted cutscene featuring Gol and Maia somewhere between Sandover and Rock village, where they discuss their plans for the other sages. - 15:00 This was a genuine treat. The game/product rewards you for exploring, instead of today's hallways and instant gratification (yeah yeah, I'm old and biased). I hope the developer(s) for these projects keep this 'inter-connectivity' in mind going forward (with whatever they do). - The reason I point this out in particular is because I got major KH1 Traverse Town vibes - especially in regards to multiple areas sharing pathways (hence inter-connectivity). It's a level design I've yearned for a long time in sandbox and open-world games... 15:40 Maybe the OG creators of Naughty Dog could go freelance and hire + train those within the community to handle the programming? - Fun fact: the OG creators made ND by their experience of hacking arcade games and PCs. No wonder the coding for the Jak games is as mind-blowing as they are... They're legalized HACKS! - - #That'sAJoke Anyways, thank you for the video, Jared! This one was a special treat! I hope you and yours are doing well, and we'll all see you again - whenever that might be :-D #Let101PowerCellsBeYourGuidingKey #100PowerCellsOrLessEqualsEternalShameByDaxter
Honestly the way Insomniac has brought Ratchet and Clank up to the PS5 era, and the love they continue to show the Jak games with Easter eggs in Rift Apart, I’d be thrilled if they were given the rights to revive the series. The models they made for Jak just for the Easter eggs just make me want to see a true remaster of the series on ps5 even more. And they should bring in Kuitar to do more work like this!
I've been saying for years now that I think they should bring the Jak series back. Even if it's a reboot. If anyone ever does, I would LOVE to come on as a character/concept designer for them. That being said, this is a neat CC for Jak and Daxter. Unfortunately, I won't be able to play it since I'm a console player, but I'll def try to watch people who are playing them and give props to the creators of the mods.
Its such great work!!! Im ashamed to say i sat down and drew up ideas for stilted village its connections, yellow sages hut, progressive level growth, waterfall cave, (like in this vi d) for those who dont know in the original world design the yellow sages village included waterfal cave and if i remember correvtly the lava area, until it was cut for time related reasons. If we could insert and potentially move lava tube to that zone, and insert some kind of long platforming traversed section between red and yellow sages area, thatd be such great closure for fans who feel as though they missed out.
Man I would love that the Jak and Daxter community became like the GTA SA community that makes a lot of mods really fun weird and specially graphics mod like imagine that Jak and Daxter fan makes a graphics mod like a remastered version for the PC port that would be really awesome 😍😍
This is exactly what I was hoping with the other Jak and Daxter games after precursor legacy, new areas, new power cell quests and hopefully new boss fights because the precursor legacy had solid boss fights. And considering that this game is my favourite of all time I will totally no life the crap out of the custom levels, thank you for sharing this wonderful news 😎🎉👍🏻🔥🥳
I am really invested in this. Maybe in the future we get fanmade Jak games sequels to Jak X (sorry TLF, you are not canon), made in Jak 2 or 3 as mods. Would be really cool I cannot wait to see what comes of this. Maybe even people could make What Ifs about if Jak 2 and 3 never happened if Jak and the gang never went to the future, if the time loop didn't exist and it was just the original world.
SOooo DLC for my favorite platformer?? I'm IN! Looks incredible both from a gameplay and atmosphere standpoint. I know it's asking a lot from the creator, Kuitar, to fold this neatly in with lore...but I'm wondering if these levels might take place between the end of TPL and II 🤔
I need to be with my Jak peeps… I’ve been a huge fan since a wee one idk why I haven’t joined any communities, guess bc no one around me knew wtf it was 😂 this is so freaking cool and I wanna join in the fun!!!
I would hope not a reboot. Some have been calling for that because they want it closer to the original Jak and Daxter than the following games, but at this point the series' identity is that of Jak 2 and 3. Maybe going to the past again would be cool but I want it to still be within the current series, Jak is still Jak, as in edgy gonna kill Praxis Jak, but maybe goes back in time for whatever reason idk.
Idk how they would do him going back unless it was before kid Jak and Samos went to the past, or if it was after he left, so he doesn't encounter himself. Him encountering his child self isn't much of an issue but him encountering himself after that would break the timeline.
Thanks for this content got to live this through the nastalgic magic. GGs I fell all the time! 😂 jak 3 light eco was OP and when that was a thing for the first time in that era I was like holy shiiii, then I did the tap X 3x and then the over shield O x1 and I’d infinitely fly everywhere ima cry my self to sleep.
I wonder if since this was possible we could ever get ps2-era ratchet PC ports, since naughty dog gave insomniac the rendering tech and someone at insomniac took it and translated it into a more popular coding language and they traded this stuff back and forward. I do know the ps2 ratchet games are kinda held together with tape though, ESPECIALLY UYA
Haven’t even watched the video but shut up and take my money 🤑 This game was SO ahead of its time and even tho the following lineup in the trilogy was so different (and IMO great as a direction and mashup of platforming-ish and GTA-ish elements) it also cements the OG Jak and Daxter as a true paragon of the PS2 era. I wouldn’t be the person I am if it wasn’t for this being my first game to compete myself. The idea of new levels being made for J&D, and let’s be honest here… by the mega fans… is fucking awesome. Keep up the videos man and props for sharing such a GEM 💎
The question remains, would it be possible to add power cells into Jak 2 and if not would it be possible to mod the flag you pick up in dead town into a collectable since Jak already has a song and animation for picking it up?
They didn’t move on. Have you played the last ratchet and clank ‘rift apart’.. the secret vaults only ratchet can open basically says that the only place they were able to go was the same dimension as Jak and daxter.. trust me it’s still coming

Especially with the dark eco mushrooms and the most I am definitely getting precursor legacy era metal head nest vibes
This is incredible - so excited to see more! I see you're using the music from the original game. In case you're looking to incorporate something new, this guy has incredible original soundtracks for Jak and Daxter themes:
ruclips.net/video/BjpIlgJJ2S0/видео.html
It's fantastic. Great job.
Fantastic job
This is the coolest jak and Daxter level I’ve ever seen. Really makes me wish they’d bring this series back.
LETS GOOOOOO thank god for modders, they keep so many games alive that are neglected by their original developers
That moment when fans have more passion for the games than the developers... AND they do better work! Why not just hire fans and modders alike, have them make the games or DLCs? Give 'em tools and money = profit for all
Daxter: "But NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
You guys do understand this game is older than most people who watched the video?💀
@@AsteroSloth Yeah? Doesn't mean they don't care about the series more. Especially with Jak who's own people dev team at Naughty Dog wishes they were making another game.
Because the developers that made Jak and Daxter had already left so no longer they would make the series ever again.
@@AsteroSloth I call bullshit I'm 27 I'm sure most people who remember this game are around my age..
Man I am also hardcore fangirling. That Precursor structure looks like it's modeled after the spaceship at the end of Jak 3, looks like a nice nod from the creator. This is some amazing stuff, truly. It's nice to see that my favorite video game franchise still lives
The yellow sage should have had his own hut/ village and environment around it. I hope they can flesh out the full world that was in the Jak and Daxter design bible.
One day brother, one day
Was technically supposed to happen, but NOPE!
Dude love KH and Jak series so much your content recently has been! (chefs kiss) push more Jak!
5:52 it’s like the precursor rooms or whatever from Jak 3, at least it looks like it. It especially looks like the place where you learn Daxter is a precursor.
So amazing. I share your enthusiasm. It really is such a great thing, the gaming community does great things sometimes, this is a perfect example, coming together to create something great and breathe life into Jak and Daxter
That precursor structure was the rocket ship from Jak 3's ending.
Custom Jak 3 content would be absolute bliss. Imagine summoning massive purple lightning storms with Dark Jak and having open-ended flight mode with Light Jak.
I'd absolutely love of Toys for Bob did a remake of the series like they did with Crash and Spyro.
if Insomniac did not have their hands full with spider-man would it be absolutely fantastic if they could make an official sequel to jak 3 or maybe even upscaled the daxter game to a full fletched console game to go alongside hd remakes of jak 1-3
Just imagine the love this franchise gets from the fans... fans that are actually continuing the game, creating new levels and hopefully, in a few years, new games ❤️ it's a shame that the developers decided to not continue

That sounds cool but why
What if jak and Kiera are actually gol and maia
Jak and Daxter made a cameo in Rift Apart, maybe Insomniac can handle a new game, after all Insomniac and Naughty Dog always have been on good terms since when they were working under Universal, so it's not something unrealistic
Hope you're right
I would love to see them continue because it seems like they’re doing good by the source material
You did say you would make content that isn't kingdom hearts. Happy to say you're off to a good start Jared. Keep it turkey lord.
Awesome work on creating a new custom level for Jack and Daxter. I hope you can create custom worlds for the first 3 mainline KH games.
I would definitely love to see Jak 3 make more use of its open world, have more stuff to do in the deserts and Haven.
I really wish there was a way to see a connection in the jak 1 landscape with the jak 2&3 landscape such as what Mar built and how the land changed.
when it comes to 2001 video games, i wish jak had the type of community and content the melee community has. excited for jak for the first time in forwver
Just trying to comprehend custom made original fan-levels in Jak 2 & J3 makes my heart pop
@TheGamersJoint
Very good video you posted here, Jared! Jak fans have indeed been starved!
Dunno if you've read my comment(s) on your other recent videos as of this date, seeing as you've talked about many of my own thoughts and observations. Frankly, I'm just glad there are others who share my perspective :-)

Anyways, thank you for the video, Jared! This one was a special treat! I hope you and yours are doing well, and we'll all see you again - whenever that might be :-D
#Let101PowerCellsBeYourGuidingKey
#100PowerCellsOrLessEqualsEternalShameByDaxter
Absolutely amazing! Only problem is i don't have a time machine to go to the future and play all the other mods!
I remember as a kid having a ceremony when jak3 came out at the video store. Amazing to see the content
The feeling you get when you see that power cell in jak and daxter.. and when you grab it. There's nothin like it
Honestly the way Insomniac has brought Ratchet and Clank up to the PS5 era, and the love they continue to show the Jak games with Easter eggs in Rift Apart, I’d be thrilled if they were given the rights to revive the series. The models they made for Jak just for the Easter eggs just make me want to see a true remaster of the series on ps5 even more.
And they should bring in Kuitar to do more work like this!
Ohh this is amazing!!
My dream of getting a whole new Jak game in the style of Jak 1 with multiple levels to go thru is coming into reality!
With Jak 2/3 assets, Jak 4 will be made by us, for us, and it will be beautiful
ahh I missed this game soo much. Dexter is still one of my fav vid game characters. Thanks a lot for the video
Now we just need Yosemite to be completed.
Edit: 10:05 You were speaking The Precursor Legacy Jak's language right there.
I've been saying for years now that I think they should bring the Jak series back. Even if it's a reboot.
If anyone ever does, I would LOVE to come on as a character/concept designer for them.
That being said, this is a neat CC for Jak and Daxter. Unfortunately, I won't be able to play it since I'm a console player, but I'll def try to watch people who are playing them and give props to the creators of the mods.
I love jak and dexter series. I cant wait for more things like this to be in existence
This brings me back to a time when nauthydog ised to make good games. Its been a while
Its such great work!!! Im ashamed to say i sat down and drew up ideas for stilted village its connections, yellow sages hut, progressive level growth, waterfall cave, (like in this vi d) for those who dont know in the original world design the yellow sages village included waterfal cave and if i remember correvtly the lava area, until it was cut for time related reasons. If we could insert and potentially move lava tube to that zone, and insert some kind of long platforming traversed section between red and yellow sages area, thatd be such great closure for fans who feel as though they missed out.
It really feels like a dream, amazing to see new levels
This was awesome. Really wish Sony would put this IP to use.
Man I would love that the Jak and Daxter community became like the GTA SA community that makes a lot of mods really fun weird and specially graphics mod like imagine that Jak and Daxter fan makes a graphics mod like a remastered version for the PC port that would be really awesome 😍😍
I can see our boy has some new ink on the forearm. We need to see this!
yooo this is scaryy i randomly started watching jax and dexter stuff yesterday and now you posted one like waaaaa scary
I thought the title was a clickbait first. If Jack and dexter will have custom levels, I will be addicted to it (again).
Finally mods are coming to Jak and Daxter!
This is so freaking cool I would love to make a modded level for this game but I don’t have any experience with modding games
If it gets to the point where you can even make custom Jak X racetracks, imma have a field day
This is amazing man 👀🔥👌
This is exactly what I was hoping with the other Jak and Daxter games after precursor legacy, new areas, new power cell quests and hopefully new boss fights because the precursor legacy had solid boss fights.
And considering that this game is my favourite of all time I will totally no life the crap out of the custom levels, thank you for sharing this wonderful news 😎🎉👍🏻🔥🥳
It's nice to see someone start creating a new set of custom levels for Jak and Daxter 1. ^_^
This is awesome I didn’t know fans made a PC port
I am really invested in this. Maybe in the future we get fanmade Jak games sequels to Jak X (sorry TLF, you are not canon), made in Jak 2 or 3 as mods. Would be really cool I cannot wait to see what comes of this.

damn no way how cool is that now we need sly cooper
SOooo DLC for my favorite platformer?? I'm IN! Looks incredible both from a gameplay and atmosphere standpoint.
I know it's asking a lot from the creator, Kuitar, to fold this neatly in with lore...but I'm wondering if these levels might take place between the end of TPL and II 🤔
So we going from MODed Kingdom Hearts stuff to now MODed Jak and Daxter. I like where this is going.
I need to be with my Jak peeps… I’ve been a huge fan since a wee one idk why I haven’t joined any communities, guess bc no one around me knew wtf it was 😂 this is so freaking cool and I wanna join in the fun!!!
I think that all this information is very interesting and this was a good custom game play.
I mod for Jak 2 would be nice where we could play through the story of the Metal Head wars
Yo this project just got a crazy big update!
LOVED Jak n Daxter... If there was some sort of reboot, remaster or continuation then I would definitely play ^-^
I would hope not a reboot. Some have been calling for that because they want it closer to the original Jak and Daxter than the following games, but at this point the series' identity is that of Jak 2 and 3. Maybe going to the past again would be cool but I want it to still be within the current series, Jak is still Jak, as in edgy gonna kill Praxis Jak, but maybe goes back in time for whatever reason idk.

@@urmum9898 what
Been a minute since I seen something new from Jak & Daxter 😮
Epic wow been waiting to play the mars war do cause we got his origin in the first 3 games now I want to see the reason he became a legend
The entire time it sounds Like im watching Blender Guru. The voice is so similar 😂
10:04 bro just spoke crash bandicoot mask language💀
I hhope one day Haven Call of the king is decompiled, love that game!
Honestly want another Jak and daxter game for PS4 and 5
We’re you speaking goal programming language? 10:05
I imagine at some point, this is gonna get graphics mods. And i will be there when it does
Wow!! I CAN’T believe I’m actually seeing some new content for this game… and it’s NOT from Naughty Dog… this is literally a dream come true!!
One of the best W Jak & Daxter got in a long time.
I wish I was able to get this content for my ps4 Jak and daxter 😆
I wish for more jak and dax games
This...this does put a smile on my face
Daxter: *Starts rubbing a vibrating crystal on himself
More love than Naughty Dog. I’m waiting for Insomniac to make a new Jak & Dexter game.
THIS IS STRAIGHT OUT OF A DREAM I HAD NOT TOO LONG AGO 😳
Thanks for this content got to live this through the nastalgic magic. GGs I fell all the time! 😂 jak 3 light eco was OP and when that was a thing for the first time in that era I was like holy shiiii, then I did the tap X 3x and then the over shield O x1 and I’d infinitely fly everywhere ima cry my self to sleep.
I'd love to see custom Jak models eventually lol
Hope Mystic has seen this. So dope 💥
Jak II and Jak 3 are good, but I'll always prefer the original collectathon
This is SO sick
I wonder if since this was possible we could ever get ps2-era ratchet PC ports, since naughty dog gave insomniac the rendering tech and someone at insomniac took it and translated it into a more popular coding language and they traded this stuff back and forward.
I do know the ps2 ratchet games are kinda held together with tape though, ESPECIALLY UYA
I was hopping for ratchet and clank games series pc .
Haven’t even watched the video but shut up and take my money 🤑
This game was SO ahead of its time and even tho the following lineup in the trilogy was so different (and IMO great as a direction and mashup of platforming-ish and GTA-ish elements) it also cements the OG Jak and Daxter as a true paragon of the PS2 era.

I grew up with jak and daxter
Incredible
Love this game. I won a PS2 with Jack and Dexter thanks to cartoon network!
The question remains, would it be possible to add power cells into Jak 2 and if not would it be possible to mod the flag you pick up in dead town into a collectable since Jak already has a song and animation for picking it up?
Tipping my hat to the developer. The level cold asl.
I love spider cave dont be hatin
I'm lying in bed with fever. Can confirm it does feel like a fever dream
They didn’t move on. Have you played the last ratchet and clank ‘rift apart’.. the secret vaults only ratchet can open basically says that the only place they were able to go was the same dimension as Jak and daxter.. trust me it’s still coming
Man this is so epic
So there could be a chance of s 4th game of Jak and Daxter
Can't wait to play it
My boy got the tash
Awesome!
Yellow Sage's Hut when??!
Level Should be Called Sage Sanctuary
Bring back Jak my everything needs it!!!
Holy crap
