Is a testament to the dedication and passion of this community, and I’m happy for those who wanted this feature. Personally though, it doesn’t improve the game for me in any meaningful way, and I will probably never use it.

I tried it out briefly, to see what the shaders were currently capable of. Don’t get me wrong, it is impressive what he was able to pull off without replacing assets. I’m not trying to minimize or diminish the efforts of this developer. I just think that for me, part of the charm of this game is the potato graphics. It’s the same reason that I don’t like the main franchise Pokemon titles after generation4. They went from mostly 2D and (sparingly) 2.5D overworld sprites, to 3D. I digress though.

What you gain in fidelity, you lose in charm. In this case, for myself. It’s an optional feature, and I’ll be opting out of it.

Again, I’m happy for the people who wanted this, and I hope it brings in some new blood to the game. Because the game really could use it right now.
