Moon Warrior | The LOST PlayStation Game is Finally Found! 

Peter Hajba (born 15 December 1974), also known by his demoscene nickname Skaven, is a Finnish electronic musician, video game composer and graphic artist. His most recent project is with Remedy Entertainment as an animator, sound designer and graphic artist. Prior to working with Remedy, Hajba has been credited on games developed by 3D Realms, PopCap Games, Introversion Software Limited, Epic Games, and Housemarque.

Might be locked out of the room because you were detected by the guards and the game put up a barrier for the door.

Why are the movements and animations for the characters so damn smooth? They genuinely look like what modern day motion capture is capable of.

Really disappointing that this game didn't get farther into development. Seems like a concept that really could have been expanded upon. What I find the most interesting is that the "developer camera" seems to be the most complete element of the game so far. I agree that too much effort was put into the camera mode for it to be just for dev purposes, definitely seems like something that would eventually be used as a core mechanic. Maybe the camera mode is the magic power associated with the sparkly player animation?

This one actually looks very polished! That thing with you being able to see the world around you, sorta like a third eye of sorts, is actually a really nifty mechanic! I imagine that, if they were to continue development, they would include other spiritual abilities, like meditating at certain spots that let your spirit leave your body and wander around, but instead of just looking at your surroundings, you'd be able to interact with objects and such. Maybe also a slow motion ability, or an invisibility ability, that lets you move "as swift as the wind, and as hidden as its shadow". A lotta cool ideas can be had from this setting!

I liked so much Medievil that seeing this is amazing. They had so much talent, even in this tiny alpha I can see a great game that never been.

If I had to guess, the symbol on the bottom left is some interpretation of chakras. Depending on the meditative study, some use less than the typical seven we associate with. In this case, I would say five, where the big loop is the first, while the ending path is the fifth. It could have been implemented as some power up system.

Looks quite nice for being in such early stage.

It’s being released by Hidden Palace on 4/4/22, in case anyone asks in the comments without watching until the end of the video

I am pretty sure those flags waving in the beginning when you first started the game was supposed to be the wind blowing the flags. Maybe that's why it was moving.

Hold up, that Composer is the guy that the Bejeweled 1 - 3 and Hamster Ball soundtracks. *What an humble start to an awesome career.*

This looks really cool, glad it was preserved! Also, about the animations being too fast, maybe it’s meant to be run at 50Hz?

The music in this game is awesome

Skaven is pretty talented musician. Did (or still does) some sweet music for demoscene.

Man, a shane this wasn't ever completed. That floating camera mechanic is really cool and the character motion is surprisingly fluid for ps1.

1:25 The twitchiness looks like it's just coming from lack of coordinate accuracy. The PS1 did not use sub-pixel accuracy for screen draw, so triangles drawn on screen would snap to nearest pixel. If there were slow, slight movements they would appear snappy and twitchy because of this. It was a common problem with many PS1 titles at the time. Neither did the PS1 have perspective correction, and that's why the textures on the wall and floor tiles look wonky.

I think I can see some medievil ground textures in some places

Isn't this a first-party title? SCE Cambridge stands for Sony Computer Entertainment Cambridge, they were an internal division of Sony when they were developing this title.

i wish one day sumone will find snoop doggs cancel game fear and respect

This is really cool! It's insane that lost media can just show up one day, found before most people even knew it existed, I thought this was a weird April Fool's video at first. You guys should totally release this ROM.

It has such a cozy vibe. Thanks to the warm colour palette i guess

That bottom left symbol reminds me of a kitty laying down, just chilling

OOOOOOOOH Lost game found! You should check out another lost ps1 game that was found recently, trouser trouble.

For your sting, you shall feel the crime of Shaolin! It's a pity they never finished this, because it looks like it would have been good. I assume their overlords were mainly just interested in more family friendly games & this one just wasn't fitting the bill, so they were forced to can it?

One of these days, Earthbound 64... One of these days...

I too have been described as glitchy but kind of cool.

Definitely some really cool elements to be seen in this state that makes me think this game had huge potential.

With these amazing discoveries. You deserve to have 100,000 Subscribers and even more.

I _think_ that character in the bottom left is the Zhou dynasty seal script version of 易 (yi), which can mean "easy", or "change". Most likely change, given the context. I'm no expert, though. I majored in Mandarin, but modern Chinese language, spoken and written, is a long way removed from the context of tenth century China. There's probably some meaning significant to philosophy, history, or martial arts that I just don't know.

The out of body camera reminded me of Geist from the Gamecube.

the music in this is amazing

If the game is running fast, maybe it was designed for 50hz as it's British.

I love Medievil and this looks like the main thing SCE Cambridge was working on between Medievil 1 and 2. Very interesting to see this.

That door doesn't seem like a glitch because it has a dedicated animation to it.

3:08 I couldn’t stop laughing at that

This is why I'm subscribed!

One of my favorite ps1 games is Bushido Blade. This footage gave me similar vibes

Looks very nice and polished nice video

Maybe the debug camera was to test the cutscene camera

Great video

This feels like a sequel to Shaolin/Lord of Fist which we never got because we didn't deserve. Sad, because I *love* Lord of Fist/Shaolin. Also has pretty strong "Chinese Tenchu" vibes/energy.

I like to imagine a story with this. You are Liu Feng, the fabled "Moon Warrior", a story of a warrior who will change the fate of Sholin with solar powers. Abandoned as a child for being illegitimate, Feng was raised with Master Tau, under Sholin Monks with a amulet from birth, known to hold power under a symbol given by the gods. After a talking with Tau about how Feng is no longer a apprentice and must keep Sholin safe and use his powers for good, Assasins and a Ex-Monk Cho storm the temple, killing Tau and trying to find the Amulet. Feng defends them and his master dies in his arms and Cho and his team escapes. The guards break in, pinning Feng as the Killer. Now he must escape Sholin temple and now fasely ashamed after, hunt down Cho and his goons with the help of Bandits and some allies to stop him (And sneaking into the Kings palace for documents on Cho) from trying to steal the Amulet for power and clear his name. Think this is a neat idea? Was thinking of those late 90s / 2000s Chinese / Monk action trend.

Looks like a decent game, I wonder what can you find inside the disk

You are THE MOON MASTER!!!

7:50 That's quite an interesting mention / note, because I had nothing to do with this game. It's possible the game files contained a tracker music file from me, possibly to use the samples in it, and they did not erase the comments in the sample list. These comments are from "revenge.it" (Revenge of the Cats) from 1997.

This is not to be confused with Moon Knight.

Skaven. wow. crazy.

What's the song playing at the start of the video?

Looks like it would have been a great game. Like Tenchu with round edges.

FOR YOUR CRIMES YOU WILL-

Evil dead cam

Poggers man!

The symbol looks like a character from the Chinese 'seal script,' but that's just a best guess on my part.

I don’t know why, but I’m getting some Tenchu 2 vibes. Except swap ninjas for monks. I hope we can uncover more info on this game, because I am really curious to see what the plans were.

is Tony getting younger? he looks like he's aging backwards 🤔

Good Graphics

Gonna test this using real hardware via XStation

So From Software ripped off MediEvil 1 for Dark Souls, MediEvil 2 for Bloodborne and now it looks like even Moon Warrior for Sekiro.

Forget it, Tony, that's China Town...

Maybe abandoned because it was started right before the PS2 was released.

download link?

Ghost of Tsushima demake

Yeah okay, but that shirt....

What the hell is that God awful shirt you are wearing?! Lol
