I used to play games for a long time now (more than 20 years), Oddworld, Metal Gear and Digimon world are my best memories of the ps1 era, I don't know yet what is the fate of this project, a lot depends on people feedback and traction, I have your same hope to see a fair Digimon world successor maybe multiplayer online as well, maybe we can try to set up a team and work together on it for a small version of it.
here is my discord Degrand#0362 if you want chat about :)
thanks
