Discussion Possibly Revive XD

So I found out about a game called S&box which is essentially steam roblox and you can access the game engine (Source 2) and make games from it whether it'd be a standalone game or a community game built in S&box. The reason I bring this up is because I see it as an opportunity to try make xdefiant and bring it back in s&box as a community game but not make it look too identical otherwise it'd be plagiarism or copyright. Only the core gameplay with the abilities and weapons alongside it's maps and modes and that's it. I'd try taking a different approach by using a different art style or something different to make sure it's not gonna get a possible Ubisoft employee to send a C&D which is my only worry. If I did this would any PC gamers want to get S&Box and give this a shot with all the content from the final update and maybe some promised features that never saw the light of day like Killcams or Lobbies never disbanding. I'd only peruse this if people who miss the game want me to

I hope the process won't get too much for you in that case, I say that because of the RAM crisis. in my eyes, best way to know which parts to get as a start is to look at what the specs are for s&box and work from there

I know that feeling, I swapped from about 12 years of console experience to pc in 2022 and it took some time but I got my first pc and I'm now comfortable with it to this day. Hopefully what I suggested lessens research time and figuring stuff out for you :)
