I bet he's been lurking around on our forums picking up ideas
I certainly know I have! Actually, before starting work on my own project, I visited *all* the remake sites with forums and went through every page of suggestions, linking and copying ideas into a huge file which... hopefully... one day... I'll be able to actually go through and combine with my own ideas to expand the game a lot more. But for now, just getting the basics in is plenty of work, as you guys already know
Fortunately I don't have to worry as much about graphics, which are a pain.
It is very good to hear about "official" devs being supportive of the mod/remake community.
