Alright, I have the open-source wolfire game 'Black Shades' from 2002 on my PC and my iphone. It is a very good game with randomly generated stuff and blasting down millions of people in slow-mo never gets old. The graphics are unique and suit the game very well.
BUT.
As cool as the graphics are to the old-school feeling of the game, wouldn't it be neat to have a remake of Black Shades in the Pheonix engine, y'know, the one being used to make Overgrowth? Now I know the engine is still a WIP but by the looks of it it's very well developed and can handle a game. I know it may seem a bit early to ask for this but I just want a show of virtual hands for this question:
Who wants the awesome gameplay from the original Black Shades but with a huge graphics revamp and maybe some added features?
Ta for reading,

(BTW, if you don't know what i'm talking about, get the game for free here: http://www.wolfire.com/black-shades)

I love the idea, but unfortunately I don't see it happening until after Overgrowth has been released!

The engine itself still needs lots of tweaks and edits to make it usable for a modern FPS game.

Yeah, non-tech mods are gonna be tough until OG and the Pheonix engine is out of tech development, but one of my current goals is a projectile weapon. So, in time, maybe. In time...
