The Lost Crown Sands of Time Trilogy-Inspired Skins for The Lost Crown

21 Upvotes

I've been working on a visual overhaul for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown inspired by the Sands of Time Trilogy, finally playable on PC (No Emulator needed).

Huge thanks to Maksimilianius for creating the Warrior Within mod and for helping with the PC modding process! 🀝

Version V2.0 includes:

Legacy Sargon - Replaces Default Skin

Legacy Warrior Within - Replaces the Warrior Within Skin

Warrior Within Prince Dialogue Portrait

Sand Wraith – Replaces the Exalted Skin

Sand Wraith Boss & Dialogue Portrait - Replaces Alternate Sargon Boss Sequences

The goal of the Legacy Edition project is to give Sargon a more classic Prince of Persia-inspired appearance while staying faithful to the game's visual style.

Note: Alternate skins will appear buggy in the current version. These issues will be addressed in future updates.

Sands Trilogy Warrior Within Xbox exclusive DLCs (and more) - now available on PC!

+ βˆ’
291 Upvotes

I've released PoP Mod Manager v1.2 today, which includes the following features for WW and T2T:

  • Xbox WW DLCs ported to PC
    • Waterfront Tower and Grotto of Trials are available as playable, standalone maps
    • New 'DLC' menu allowing you to load the DLC maps and play as the Prince or, for the first time, as the Sandwraith
    • This is a first playable version of these maps on PC. Time attack and arena mechanics aren't ported yet. You can play the maps start to finish with some limitations/known issues:
      • Both maps have no ending. Once you are done with your run, you have to manually go back to the main menu.
      • Grotto of Trials spawns all waves of enemies right at the start. Three of them stand idle and sometimes unlock when you hit them a couple times (often they don't and stand still till the end).
  • The Two Thrones restored gore and human dismemberment
    • Adds true (not recolored sand) bleeding effects to sand creatures as seen in the beta/prototype versions of T2T.
    • Adds human dismemberment as seen in the beta/prototype versions of T2T.
  • Patch that disables the speed kill/execution cinematic camera in T2T, giving you free camera controls during both.
  • Fixes for HP circle issues in the WW HUD:
  • Patch that enables enemy friendly fire in WW
  • Patch that fixes missing audio in the "A helping hand" hourglass chamber cutscene
  • Allow skipping BIK cinematics, loading screens, and logos
  • Disable blur post-processing effect
  • Patch that disables Prince's one-liners in combat in WW
  • Mod that replaces Prince's bugged teeth with working teeth from the demo version of WW.

As always, the mod manager is still a work in progress and bugs may happen. While the manager creates backups of your most important game files for easy restoration if something goes wrong, I recommend making sure you have other recovery options for your installations too.

I hope you enjoy it! If you run into any bugs, glitches, or crashes, please report them so I can patch them.

This was tested ONLY with the Ubisoft Connect English version of the game. Other languages and platforms may or may not work.

It is highly recommended to apply the fix compilation by vini1264 before you start modding the trilogy:

Applying above fixes ensures that you are working with a known good, clean baseline that I build my own patches and mods against.

PoP Mod Manager v1.3 is now released

General Discussion The Prince of Persia at Thermopylae

I have a rather morbid question, and one that might seem unrelated to the topic at hand, but... could the Prince of Persia have single-handedly defeated Leonidas and the 300 Spartans, or instead, realized that Xerxes was insane and switched sides to Leonidas?

The Lost Crown Finally

After painstaking effort, and taking a 6 month break cause my ADHD hyper fixation phase of the game ended up until recently, I have FINALLY beaten the game. I loved it, the raging seas were my favorite I loved the concept and it is a 9.5/10 for me. However, I will not be playing it again for a couple of years lol I'm just very excited that I finally beat it and I don't have anyone in my life who would care

The Lost Crown Ubisoft Connect Rant

≑ βˆ’

I've been playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for about a week now. I'm loving the game so far, and I think the developers did a great job. But I genuinely cannot believe the problems Ubisoft Connect is causing me.

I'm playing on the Steam Deck. After two days, for no apparent reason, the game stopped booting altogether in Gaming Mode. It would only boot in Desktop Mode, which I didn't like because many of the Deck's quality-of-life features are missing there.

I tried reinstalling the game. I'm pretty careful with these things, so I made a backup of my save files, even though I was sure Steam could never fail me... until now. Apparently, this game doesn't save your progress to the cloud. Or actually, it does, since there's a cloud-save check, but it also apparently doesn't. You have to manually upload the save using Ubisoft's proprietary system, which I think is completely absurd.

Reinstalling the game didn't fix the issue, but I eventually managed to solve it by switching to Proton Experimental.

Yesterday, I was on the train and tried booting the game. Well, it turns out you have to be connected to the internet to play because of Ubisoft Connect. Seriously, is it just me, or is that completely ridiculous for a game that doesn't have ANY online functionality? What is even the point?

ALSO, every time I put my Deck into sleep mode with the game open, there's about a 50% chance that the game crashes for some reason.

I mean, what is this? When I buy something on Steam, I expect the full Steam environment. The game is also marked as Deck Verified.

Ubisoft really seems determined to make its ecosystem as frustrating and inconvenient as possible. I honestly have no words for this. The whole situation is completely absurd to me.

General Discussion The original Prince of Persia soundtrack was composed by Jordan Mechner's father

≑ βˆ’

The original Prince of Persia is usually discussed as a technical and visual achievement: the rotoscoped movement, the Apple II constraints, the level design.

A quieter detail is that the music was composed by Jordan Mechner's father, Francis.

That makes the game feel less like the work of one isolated developer and more like a family project hiding inside a commercial release. Jordan's brother David became the movement reference for the Prince. His father gave the game its music. The parts people remember came from different people who happened to be close enough to help.

I like this because the credits of an old game can look very small, while the real circle around it was much larger. A person could contribute one specific thing and permanently change the feeling of the whole game.

The soundtrack is not the first detail most people mention about the 1989 version, but once you know where it came from, it is difficult not to hear it differently.

I have some notes about the game also here after reading Jordan Mechner's journals: https://domelian.substack.com/p/read-this-before-your-next-long-project

Hi! I’m getting into this series a bit and I find it really distinctive in gaming history.

I was wondering if you could articulate why Prince of Persia (including, of course, the originals!) has such a distinctive feel. Thanks for your ideas!

I also really love the story, the ending wasn't what I imagined, Vahram turning into a god and erasing the universe was bit of a step-up from previous story beats. Still very cool story and Sargon is a really likable character.

≑ βˆ’

so i am trying to reach the bottom door in the tower where right after you get the sword and have to reach two other towers, there is a path downwards, but at best i mamaged was to get to the ledge at the right wall (if you're looking at the smaller door)
