I too wish this was on real hardware... somber to be turned down on porting it. It could only be a win for the community.
We’re just not looking to get the game ported, however we don’t have any issue with independent porting projects.
Such projects would remain completely independent, with no involvement from us. It should be made clear that there is no affiliation with us and that it is indeed derivative of the original work. It goes without saying, but any sort of monetization wouldn’t be allowed.
(And of course, copyright law still applies, if for whatever reason we do have issue with whatever is done, we would reserve the right to take action)
