A shoddy remake is the exact opposite of experimental.
Unless you count them cutting up the game into chunks and duping people into buying it multiple times, but that's not something an indie dev can really pull off.

Yes you are right about that, it's a shame the game is made in episodes! But not here, this will be a full game, no episodes. I'm just saying I want people to know when they are playing that this is not a total Zelda like game. It has a stamina bar, every move you do effects that bar. So if it depletes to zero you can't do anything except be able to walk. The gameplay is based off a mix of Fable(Xbox), Knights of the Old Republic(Xbox), and Mega Man. The exploration is a mix of Pokemon style where items are randomly placed in jars, barrels, bookshelves, whatever is there in the environment it will tell you something if you press that 'Action Button'.
I say FF7 Remake is really cool how it's real time. I always wanted that in the old Final Fantasy's as well, where they would bring those 2D sprites to life. So that's what I did with this game.
