Cheers Xaphir, and welcome to the forums.Xaphir wrote: I tell you what...it's one thing to hear the project founder say that anything will be possible down the road, but it's entirely another thing to look at Cristalnoir's work with 3d trees, water translucency, shorelines, and water reflections; and have your mind blown.
This whole project is the sole best tribute to the greatness of the original game that could have ever been. For the founder Interkarma, thanks is just not enough.
It's likely possible to replace sprites and trees with 3D models already. At least there aren't many technical hurdles that couldn't be overcome. Probably the hardest part is someone has to develop all those quality assets, keep them consistent in style, and then release completely free. I'd love to see that kind of concerted effort from the community someday, but understand completely if it never happens. It would be a massive undertaking all to itself.
In the meantime, the amazing stuff we're seeing from the community today offers a glimpse of what could be someday.
