I'm very tempted to try to create a spiritual remake of SSX as a side project, despite knowing it takes a proper team and a budget to do it.
SSX 3, was a hit then, would be a hit now.
Good, though the move is probably to avoid any issues while the legalities around Art-AI datasets gets cleared up. Further, the SoMe accounts of the artist who triggered this case is plastered with AI generated art and NFTs, so that might have been a clue.
"Is that code?" - people seeing my IRC client of old. Yes, I want my IRC back.
Started working on this 2 years ago as a bit of a Covid project. Got another fellow to do physics and other non-graphics stuff. The model is about 40% done, with the major chassis and bodywork done, including most of the rigging. The engine, interior and other bits and bobs remain.
My side project list is already 3-4 pages long. But I'll post if I do try it, maybe I'll just make some visual assets and hope someone will build the game around them.
