Duckstation guy, "If this turns into harassment, then I'll just shut the whole thing down, because I'm way too busy with my actual job to be dealing with unsubstantiated drama from a hobby that is supposed to be fun. Please consider how the community would benefit from that."
Jesus, what an ego he has. He mucks up a bunch of drama over something he knows people use to violate copyright, then whines when HIS copyright isn't respected. Then tries to say how morally superior he is because he has a job and is very rich.
As an emulator enthusiast myself, I'll just repeat a sentiment I've heard overtime (and for the most part agree with):
Nobody who is well adjusted goes into emulation development (EmuDev for short), you got to have something severely wrong with you mentally to develop something as complex as a video game emulator for many years, for free.
As an occupation, the chances are high that you won't find higher rates of Autism (the medical definition, not internet definition), trannyism (for lack of a better term), and various ego and neurosis issues than in EmuDev. Only speedrunners come in a close second.
Makes me want to see what my engineer cousins play like, but they're too busy buying classic apple products and looking at books about trains.
Looks like there's a lot of interesting things in this post worth checking out. The Blender/Unreal stuff and the Zelda Roguelike stand out.
Zelda Roguelike has a lot of passion behind it. But the final boss ruins the entire thing.
Anyone know if there's a mirror or download link anywhere that doesn't require fucking discord?

I spent a few hours playing already. Thanks for bringing my attention to it.
As far as fanmade mods/games go, I've always had a soft spot for The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex. It came out in 2009 (and had been in development since 2002!) but one of the old devs came back to give it a graphical overhaul, add a new level & redo all 60 of the existing ones in more recent years. IIRC this 'TNM 2.0' project is now more or less done as far as the main game goes and they might still add one final patch to cover the bonus game mode (a two level sidescroller) & add one more new level.
TNM itself takes place in a simulation of the old, long-dead DX forum the creators used to be members of in the early 2000s, when most of them weren't even out of high school yet. So there's plenty of impenetrable injokes & memes that the player almost certainly won't understand. But I've always found the passion they put into a mod of this size (and the fact that they finished it at all) admirable, banger soundtrack (made for free) too.
Above all it's also an incredible nostalgia trip to the Internet of the early 2000s. I miss it all, bros: the freedom, the creativity, lack of censorship, the old school pre-Reddit forums, the lasting online friendships, the people (even the jannies) actually being quite sane compared to today's overpoliticized and degenerate Redditors/Twitterati, even the fucking leetspeak. I compare TNM to something like Fallout Frontier and it always makes me sad - I never fail to find myself wondering, where did the Internet in general & modding communities in particular go so horribly wrong? Is it even possible to return to a fraction of those lost better days of yesteryear?
I think game engines and indie promotion killed the mod scene. It still has creators, but kids don't know about it.
The other day my son was playing a crappy VR shooter and I kept wanting to play the Professionals, a mod for Half Life that was a ton of fun. It was very early 00's ideas, and had references to stuff like the Matrix and Face Off. It got me into Gun Fu movies. I think if we do see something, it will be indie and for something like VR or Switch.
Not a game, but if anyone likes WH40K and wants to watch one of the most impressive fan movies I've ever seen, check out Helsreach on YT.

That's going to be added to my post this evening.
