I had a look at the FOBS remake demo. The spritework is really nice in motion, a big improvement over the original and I like where he's going with the combat, it feels a lot closer to Succubus Affection. Not a fan of how the dash is "charged" though, so I hope he reconsiders that. Overall I'm not as apprehensive now that I've had a feel for what he's got in mind and hopefully in 5 or 6 years his decision pays off and we get a real solid re-imagining.
