>>46446497Yeah it will be a lot of work. You're right that recreating all of this will be tedious and boring to a degree, but it could benefit others down the line. If I bundle the basic code and systems into a couple of modular packages it could help future fan projects get off the ground potentially. The more I think about doing the work, the more I want to do it, because even if I don't end up being able to commit to a full rework of the game at least I'll be paving the way.
I've been interested in making fan pokemon games before but the thing stopping me has always been the quality of the tools available. That doesn't mean how hard the tools are to use, what I mean is rpg maker is jank as fuck and very hard to tack anything on to, and the work I'd have to do to make the assets of a high enough quality to meet my personal standards would just be better spent actually coding it ground up in unity or something.
So, that's what I'm gonna do. Lol...
Like I said this will be something that will take me a while to report back with, so don't expect me to show up soon with progress, but I'm very personally committed to making this happen. If someone else does it first, awesome! But I'm going to put my head down and work on this in my spare time, and won't stop unless someone else does it better and faster.
