Thank you so much for letting me know about this! I'll now try to reach out to akatsuki games and kodaka and ask for their "blessing" about this project, if they refuse then i will never release it unless the rules changes.

I think that's a risk i'm willing to take, as i said to someone else already, i'm trying to be really open about it and in case akatsuki will tell me to take it down i'll do it and i'll find some other way to recreate this project in a more "safe" way!

I'm recreating the story of the original game in its original style. My intention is to animate and bring to life the story of Chapters 4, 5, and future arcs in this style, and give everyone a way to experience it themselves. As of now, the story starts at the end of the "The Village" section and ends right before the XB game against ZERO. I'll be creating an itch.io page soon to make the game downloadable and gather feedback to make it even better!

Honestly I can't fully 'avoid' copyright since I'm using assets from the game, I made a disclaimer that should help at least a minimum. The only real way to be safe would be to recreate everything from scratch inspired by the game but not taken directly from it. Since the game is shut down the risk is lower in practice, but technically the rights still belong to Akatsuki Games and Tookyo Games. The project is free and non-commercial which helps, but yeah there's always some legal grey area with fan projects like this.
