Proposal: History of Fangames

[Aldo]

How would an article talking about the past of fangames, going through what people used back then to make their dream Pokémon game, how they did it, how resources would be found and, if possible, showcase some of those projects? And also make comparisons between today and back then.

Thinking this can also get spicier with quotes from experienced people

Would you be interested in reading it?

I think that would be interesting, yes. Would it be both on the side of rom hacks and fangames? And to what extent would you potentially showcase some of these projects in the article? Comparison between then and now sounds good; is this in regards to tools available, ease of use, etc.?

+1 to the general idea.

Both sides of ROM hacks and other engines. I'll show a small part of what was achieved with the tools regarding the projects. The comparison would be about available tools, ease of use, plus limitations ~

Sounds like a fun read! If there's anything I can do to help let me know x
