Hello! Here is a new video of my Insomnia mod for Kingdom Hearts III, showcasing the current state of the map.

A lot... lot of work is going into this project, and I can't give any specific estimation of when I will be done, but progress is going well.
I completely remade the lighting in comparison to the first video, materials are better, a lot more areas are now included (I still have some remaining ones to do).
I worked a lot on optimizing the scene meshes to reduce the amount of individual objects, and reduce the draw calls, which really helped with performance, combined with camera and distance culling.
I have a steady 60 fps with a GTX 1080, with about 30 to 50% gpu usage in 1080p.

There is still a lot of work to do. I have to figure out a lot of things with materials and transparency, I would also like to add NPCs to make the city feel more alive, save points, a way to access the world directly from the game without needing the use of a command console, and other various features, but it's all very complicated.

I work on the unreal scene alone, but I want to give a special thanks to the OpenKH community for their help with a lot of information, and especially Sora101Ven for their immense help with many features and teaching me lot of things!

Thanks to Weeze_Juice for help with material conversion too.

Also special thanks to Kizari for "Flagrum", a Final Fantasy XV modding tool, which was crucial in the making of this project too.

  • Christ, this looks like a full on DLC instead of a mod..... Easily one of the most impressive mods I've seen yet.

    God damn, KH3 modding community goes so hard man. Love this stuff
  • 0:25 Thankyou for letting us relive the versus XIII trailer form the late 2000s ❤️
  • Men... It makes no sense what the modder community does with KH on PC. This is awesome.

    I love this. I, for some reason, want people to make a whole mod centered around this world. Seeing as we can't get sora with his moveset playable in xv.

    When I had first discovered kingdom hearts when I was 5, there was a special feeling I felt. Watching this trailer reminded me of that, thank you for this!
  • Now all we need is a way to get Noctis into here. I can just imagine the warp/airstep frenzy he and Sora would go into in a team attack.
  • Good thing Noctis is already in KHIII twice. This is pretty impressive by the way. Crazy how the only way to explore Insomnia for real is as a mod in Kingdom Hearts III.
  • 1:44 that jump to the skyscraper is tooo clean. Reminds me of Bleach and their flash steps lol

    This is a really amazing mod! Very well done! I had no idea Insomnia had so much to the actual city. I would have thought Square would have left a bunch of unfinished since you only see it for a bit in XV
  • @AkepeKH
    This is amazing ! Good job on this mod
  • If this have weather change this would go crazy but overall this is a beautiful mod🤩
  • This is fantastic. It makes me weep even more for what we lost in Final Fantasy Versus XIII/XV.
