I think keeping the charm of 2d sprites within a world that feels 3d has been done very well, it feels really ambitious for a fan project but definetly has a lot of potential.

I simply can't understand why the hell people advertise stuff like this before it's completed. You KNOW what's going to happen. Just work on it quietly until it's done, then put it out there, nothing can be done about it.

Not sure if it's the case here, but these are tons of work and inspired fans may donate or offer resources to assist with the process. Can't really be mad at them for wanting that possibility

And the second you get money for that kind of work then you're fucked, you're profiting of someone else's copyright and trademark

Hadn't seen this, thanks.

It's just as true today as it was 8 years ago.

Holy shit. Zarxrax? As in AMV legend Zarxrax?

[–] Zarxrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Legend? I guess so.

[–] univers3man@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well you're a legend to me. I have tons of your videos saved and they were a huge part of my childhood. I regularly rewatch them, so I just wanna say thanks for all the hard work and for the memories!
