This was such a great game. I remember reading a few years ago that the first time they showed it to Matt Groening he was playing as Homer and kicked Marge down the street. It’s the little things.

That was the best Simpsons game ever made. It was wall to wall references with quality gameplay. I’d love a remake of it.

I love this project and have been following it since the first few videos. I wish they could find a way to release the final product!

I really hope the developer’s project somehow “accidentally” leaks onto piracy websites like a lot of fan projects do.

Honestly I think he’s using this high profile game news modding to advertise his portfolio to potential employers

For what it’s worth, there was never any pretence that he would release the project. He stated so multiple times throughout its development.

The original seems to work well via emulators. What is the remake going to improve?

I think it’s more of a hobby project. There is no way to legally release it to the public.

The original has a PC port too, and there’s a mod loader created by a team that is (slowly) making a huge overhaul mod.

The graphics. That said, it wasn’t really trying to improve on anything. It was never going to be released.
