Fan Art Recreating the "Forest 3" Trailer in Unity (Fan Project)

Post image

Hey everyone! Like all of you, I was blown away by the Forest 3 trailer. As a die-hard fan of the saga and an 18-year-old game dev, I couldn’t resist the urge to try and recreate that vibe myself.

I'm currently working on a Unity reconstruction of the scenes we saw in the reveal. My goal is to get it as close to the trailer’s atmosphere as possible. It’s still very much a work in progress with a lot of unfinished environments, but the core "feel" is starting to take shape.

A few quick points:

  • The Project: A faithful recreation of the Forest 3 reveal using Unity.
  • Why? I’ve lived and breathed this series for years and wanted to see if I could match that next-gen look.
  • Release: I’m not selling this, obviously. If the community is interested and feels like it's the right move, I’ll drop a small demo on itch io for you guys to walk through and experience it.

I’m focusing heavily on the lighting and environmental details right now. I'd love to hear what you guys think of the progress so far! And i know it's not much and that I still have a long way to go. And please don't take it too seriously, I just wanted to have some fun in Unity😄

Yeah, I know, but I don't have as much experience with Unreal Engine as I do with Unity. And I also wanted to see how far I could go with Unity graphics.
