Same. What really gets me with this one is that the assets look ripped straight out of the original for the most part, not sure why they didn't go with the route of extracting them from supplied game files like most every other similar project I can think of. I can't imagine it'd be due to technical limitations.

I don't think it'll make it to the end of the day, but hey, at least they had the sense to keep it a secret until it was ready lol

I wonder if it pulls the assets after launch. What happens if you run it for the first time with no network connection?

I just went to check and looks like it's been pulled, so there's our answer I guess

Edit: Nevermind, it's up. Probably a fluke on my end.

Edit 2: Sure enough, I checked and the assets are right there in the zip file. Definitely not going to last long.
