I'm very happy to see this! Not so much because of TDIII (which I played, although not nearly as much as Stunts), but because there seems to be some momentum building around recreating old games using AI agents, and I love that! I had explored some related ideas [0] but throwing Claude at the problem seems super promising. The recent Crimsonland thing [1] was great! [0] https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/remakes.html [1…

I used to absolutely love this kind of content. Reading the details of how someone reverse-engineered an old game, maybe figured out how some particular part of it worked. A high-fidelity rewrite is the absolute maximum you could achieve.

Unfortunately, as soon as there's something about LLMs and AI agents in there, it all just becomes ... meh.
