You should also consider that JJ2+ exists, and adds a ton of new features and fixes to the game, much like the custom doom engines and whatnot.Īlgorithmic rescalers are nice up to a point, and it would be cool to see whether they look any good on JJ2, but plugging them into JJ2's graphics systems is not trivial. The other games you mention all have larger communities or are 3D, which makes them hard to compare. So that leaves commissioning someone to do it, which requires money. But manually redrawing every single sprite frame is a lot of work that also requires some specific skills (which only rarely overlap with programming skills), and the fact of the matter is that it doesn't look like anyone here is willing or able to do it. Well, JJ2+ is a community product into which countless hours of free labour have been put, so I think your analysis is a little off the mark there.
Now, if you say that there is no community for doing things for love to jazz game, well, I acept you argument. Since when a community need money for doing things for a game that they love?įor something it's called "community", the community does thing for love, nostalgy or simply hobby. So, if you tell me that a community need time and money, well, they will have the enough time, and. the same thing with doom, they have doomsday, gzdoom, etc. If you look descent, they have DXX-Rebirth, D2X-XL and some others with a lot of work and time spended. You talk about the cost or money, well, what is the purpose of a community? SECOND: If it were the case that need to make a partial redrawing until complete all the images I know that exist many techniques for scaling with graphical filters that are called "re-scaling of pixel art" If im not wrong, those means that with the source code this is more simple (not very) but viable.įIRST: Not need to make a complete redrawing of every image If source code is released, it would only take some changes to code and a complete rewrite of tiles
