You know, I have been thinking about this for years. After seeing how successful black mesa source did (I can't link it, too new of a member), I though it would be a fun side project. I am a game developer and know my way around a couple of game engines . Was wondering who else would be interested? My only concern is that square has shut down fan projects before. I was hoping that if permission was asked ahead of time and since:
A) it would obviosuly take a loooonnngg time to do it, and
B) Square made it clear they wont remake it anytime soon

Anyway, I was just curious who would be interested? With some of the tools today, I really dont see this being too difficult to do, just would take a very long time to make it look good, even with a ton of people.
