Lake County: Remastered (The Forgotten Project)

Lake County: Remastered was released on May 29th, 2020.

Information
LC:R is the current playable version of the game. The game started development in August of 2019, but was put on a long hiatus until February 9th, 2020. The short video "A Forgotten Project" was released, showing off a small portion of downtown Lake Villa, including Fire Station 1, the Lake Villa Police Department, and other small areas of the neighborhood.

Another trailer was released on April 10th, 2020. This trailer was a remake of the original Lake County - Promo Video from V1. The final trailer showing the game was released on May 8th, 2020. The trailer featured most of the map and departments, sparing FD.

The game was titled "The Forgotten Project" due to the fact that work began on the game in 2019, but was forgotten about until February of 2020.

Real Life Counterpart
LC:R is a remake of V1, so the map is completely based off of Lake Villa, Illinois. LC:R is by far the most accurate version of Lake County that has been made, with most roads looking like their real counterparts, as well as all buildings in the map. Iconic locations from V1 made their returns with better buildings and scenery. Locations such as the "Two Gas Stations" in V1 made their return in LC:R. Other buildings were totally revamped, and most vehicles are more accurate than they were in previous versions. The roundabout between Cedar Lake Rd and Monavilla Rd has also become a landmark.

Iconic Game Landmarks
Cedar Island makes its return in this version of the game, and it is accessible to players who wish to swim to it. Other places like the "Two Gas Stations" make their return in the same location they were in when V1 was out. Fire Station 2 is located in the same spot it is in V1, and also the AJ Wilson Wazda dealer makes a comeback, this time branded "Automobil" under Train155's name.

Trivia

 * Old buildings of V1 have been totally recreated, some to a point where you cannot tell what it was before.
 * Old V1, V2, and V3 assets can be found in the junkyard on Townline Rd, including some references to old communities such as zacblox33's Chicago.
 * The Sheriff Station on IL-59 is actually the Lake Villa Township assessor in real life, and not a sheriff sub-station.
 * The Lake Villa Police Department station and Fire Station 1 are the oldest buildings in the map.
 * Some assets from other aTypicalMid games were reused in Lake Villa, including a church and some small side buildings.
 * A large majority of the map is actually covered in lakes this time, bringing the name of "Lake County" to life.
 * There has been rumors of two departments being added, such as the Lake County Forest Preserve Police Department, as well as Illinois State Police making a return.
 * This game is the only game to bring back the Lake Villa Police Department.
