That's a shame regarding youtube? Why would it be taken down, as you're not hosting any of the games assets etc? I only replied yesterday to the new renderer post and then noticed today it had gone?
Regarding the new render, I think this looks great! It looks btill visually and still retains the essence of the original titles, but just looks more enhanced the way it displays the world.
Would there be a way to create a build where the user could actually select what renderer to use in the GUI?
