Those 'remakes' like the Minecraft one are really cool, until you realize 99 % exist probably only as a demonstration of the creator's skills, probably for employment purposes. They do the relatively easy stuff only, usually mostly environments and movement to make it resemble gameplay, then when they get to nontrivial gameplay stuff, the project ceases to progress. I'm OK with that, but it's a bit frustrating to see them be called remakes or whatever, because it doesn't seem like that is almost ever the real objective anyway. I'm thinking the creators often just want the attention they can get by calling them remakes, and it works because gaming journalists are suckers. |
I agree. DSOG has lots of articles about these "remakes", and in most articles it even says that they're done just as a portfolio to show in job interviews. That's the reason I decided to only share the ones that have at least a demo to download, because that way we can actually do something with them. |
Ah, I see. I guess that makes sense. I just skip to the graphical material when I do decide to spend that bit of my time on them... And I do enjoy the 'remakes' to an extent, it's more of a 'labeling issue' to me.
