This is beautiful. You can feel the passion. I wish there was a blog attached to it to follow the developers' journey in this super cool adventure :) !

I wonder how this compares with OpenLara https://github.com/XProger/OpenLara https://github.com/XProger/OpenLara

  The name seems purposely ambiguous, but perhaps I'm getting old.

    Hm, what's the ambiguity?

      I believe the ambiguity stems from the different interpretations arising from reading “open” as a verb vs as a noun. I.e. a double entendre.

        Hm, my mind kind of went there but it felt too sophomoric to be intentional.

  It seems that TR1X is a game decompilation project while OpenLara is a new engine created from scratch.

Great work. When I first played this game it felt as real as when I play any modern game today, if not even moreso.

With all due respect and without intending to troll, I just don't get why people spend so many hours of their lives lovingly doing things like this. TR is out there playable on various consoles, I had it on the Saturn 25 odd years ago, I'm sure like the devs of TR1X and Open Lara. Why bother remaking it? Genuine question.

  For modding; for a better experience on modern system (higher resolutions, etc.); for the joy of it.

  It's hard to explain why a creator creates to a consumer that doesn't.

  Fun, challenge, learning, curiosity, etc. I would personally never spend that much time playing a video game nor writing one, but that kind of passionate behavior is commonly visible in the video game community (e.g. the recent tetris records, speedruns, etc.)

  All I can say is, I wish I was passionate and motivated enough to work on projects like this. It doesn't have to be pragmatic in any way, you do it because you want to. No different than someone who may spend their free time working on old cars.

  Think of it as as a hobby. Hobbies are good.

I'm always impressed how much you can do with C alone.
