Thanks for your kind reply. I did always wanted to consider making a similar type of game. I just wanted to tell that your comment kept hammering my mind this last 3 years. Today I can finally reply to it with a nice feeling :)
I do not know if you are still around, but HUGE thank you. I finally mange to get the motivation and determination as to help me build the 'inspired by' but fully original game I have been wanting to build ever since I got inspired by these amazing IREM's game series. The game I'm going to build will be way different but hopefully not in a bad way. I hope to be able to achieve the same type of feel/atmosphere to it, even while it will be based on a very different and fully original: story, content and game universe.
