Okay, so we know this following:
>Spaceworld is real, this has no effect on the legitimacy of it>The ROM in the stream was not real, it was a (quite obvious) reconstruction using a mixture of (supposedly) real and fake assets>The people running the stream and asking for donations are not the same people as Helixchamber or Team Spaceworld>This may not matter as it was still their choice to release the ROM in this form, but it's still something to keep in mind>Furthermore HC and Spaceworld were open about it being a hack during the stream>The streamers themselves were apparently still quite coy about it being fake ("oh yeah it's totally real ;)")>The assets were received by Spaceworld / HC last summer by a collector who does not wish to share the prototype ROM they own>Upon being asked for a specific Pokemon number they responded with the sprite of Kotora - at the time HC had recently discovered, using an old video of a Game Freak interview, that Kotora was meant to fill this pokedex slot but they had not yet published their article about it>Therefore there is a good chance the assets given to HC are real, as it is unlikely that HC / Spaceworld would tarnish their reputation by faking the entire thing>However, the front sprites seen in the ROM hack are all fan made to make the ROM hack more complete>The information was kept for this long so it could be compiled concisely and released in a way which avoided much of the confusion and misinformation that comes with these releases>Naturally, choosing to mix the sprites in with a ROM hack with custom art is antithetical to this attempt at avoiding confusionSomeone found a supposed link to Green Beta, but it won't work and it's... not archived. Apparently GF also went to a 'Japanese' Forum or something.
