#2It's worth mentioning that the author has a YouTube channel[1] where he periodically posts videos showcasing updates he's made to the game over time. I'm surprised there isn't a link or even any kind of screenshots of the game on the Github repo, even if it is still very early in development.

Maybe the author will explain what a “demake” is.
Nope, he doesn’t. No introduction section, just straight into compiler instructions. You have to make people care about your project, and right now I don’t.

A lot of times a demake is a challenge. Video game technology has evolved significantly, and being able to take a (relatively) modern video game and remake it on much older hardware while still having most of the game's original features is an impressive feat.

A "demake" is just a spin on "remake". Instead of remaking a game to be newer and "better", you remake it to be "older".
Edit: adding that most demakes specifically involve remaking a game on much older hardware.

The developer wouldn't be as talented if he didn't take on such challenging projects

If there are many Wikipedia articles, and Youtube videos with millions of views on a given concept, at what point is the burden on you the reader to already know the concept or be able to look it up and learn it quickly?
