Great, I hope you have success.
Random story from my youth:
Around 2006 when I was in Training as an IT specialist and when LAN parties were still a thing, the boys in my class had to much fun playing a rip-off version called "bombeerman". Instead of bombs you would place beer barrels that explode in a foam fontaine...
Anyway, the game was written in Java and I discovered, that the sprites can be replaced by any image with the same resolution. So I made versions with Mario, Link, Samus and co. Making it one of the first personal experiences with moding for me.
I have no idea why I remember about this now :D
Thank you :)
Those lan parties are part of what inspired me to make this. There are not enough web games nowadays that you can quickly and freely play with your friends either in the same screen, same network, or just online anymore.
