The project is being built by means of Valve’s Alien Swarm engine, and Konami’s only condition is that the folks at Outer Heaven don’t profit from the endeavor — it must remain a labor of love. Still, their official statement gives the team full permission to continue development, which is certainly encouraging.
If the project goes well and there will be public interest in it, KONAMI will surely get to know this and consider further step accordingly.
The Outer Heaven crew intends to ramp up production in response to Konami’s blessing, so if you’re interested be sure to get in touch via their ModDB page. Otherwise, rest easy knowing this remake will eventually arrive, and cross your fingers that Konami’s behavior sets a new precedent for publishers.
