Hey Bryan James Spurlock, since you are completely unable to understand big boy concepts like "nuance", here's a list of why people make fun of you and say your projects are doomed.
1. You are way in over your head. Your "skills", if you can call them that, are limited to copy and pasting sprites in a .art editor. You have zero programming skills and constantly underestimate how long something like this should take, as evident by you thinking you can "hack" a .exe in order to replace a HUD. Based on the video you've posted, your "remake" is basically an abomination of copy and pasted sprites and sounds struggling to break free from each other. Do you really think that it looks remotely good? Does it look like the old 1996-era SW screenshots? Fuck no. Christ, I have no comp-sci skills, but even I know you're over your head.
2. You completely ignore any criticism. There are people here (Leilei for one) that have been messing with computers long before you emerged out of your mother's womb like a wet fart. Would you think they know far more about the subject than you do? Of course not. You're right and they're wrong because you do good in school and your mom said you're wise beyond your years. Instead of saying "Hey, these guys may be right!" and either scaling down or simply scrapping the project so you can work on your skills, you instead continue along, completely oblivious that everyone except you and your friend think this looks terrible.
3. You are not nearly as smart as you think you are. You think Joe won't give the old protos he has because he's a jerk that wants money instead of possibly, possibly, opening himself for the mother of all lawsuits if he were to release them. You thought Radar was serious when he was obviously taking the piss out of you. It's pretty obvious you think you're smart because you can one one or two things in old computers, but in reality you're pretty dumb.
4. You act like the child you are. You throw temper tantrums, give us 6th grade-level "ice burns" whenever someone doesn't suck your prepub dick about how good you are and you're the beta expert and think playing some old, obscure FPS is some kind of major accomplishment. I've noticed that no real life friends comment or like your SW BETA shit that you post on your Facebook. Hmm, I wonder why? Maybe it's because it makes you look like a giant dork instead of a smart badass.
I'm not expecting any sort of well-thought out response from you because you are a whiny know-it-all 13-year old that can't take criticism, but this is exactly why people diss you and your "remakes". Think about it. Or, you could ignore everything I've said and continue thinking you're king of shit mountain because you get all As in middle school and know what a command line parameter is. No skin off my back.
I do understand tho
I think it should be a great idea to restart the remaking
But i need Level Designers, Programmers and All that Stuff
This is not going to be on the Beta v0.90 it will move on into the Final SW Engine
I got way out of hand tho about Joe Siegler and i dont think anymore that he wants money and i dont think he is a jerk i just snapped
Im might try handling criticism or reply perhaps
I got way over my head and yes my programming is bad but thats why i need help on that tho
So yeah im starting over on the project in a better form
