Fan-made US release

I know this sounds like a bit much
but, It would be sweet if GHS fans would do a US release of the PS2 game "Gregory Horror Show: Soul Collector" and sell it exclusively online and at anime and furry conventions

Yeah, it is a bit much; PS2 games are sorta beyond our abilities. For English language, there's still the PAL version. Sure, we gotta get a PAL PS2 for that, but still.

And I don't think GHS would fit in at furry conventions, to be honest...

Even so, a reproduction for the US audience is a must for a good reason
both the Japanese and PAL versions of this game are ridiculously hard to find and expensive

Believe me, I am not unfamiliar with the difficulty in locating cult games. It took me ages to find a copy of Pac-Man World 3.

And well, failing a hard copy, there is emulation, though I yet to know of a good PS2 emulator.

With Unity 3D, I wouldn't imagine it impossible for a recreation to be made, but it will not be easy and, judging by how my own scanlation project is going... Yeah, it probably wouldn't even get done. A game requires a lot more work than people think: graphics, sound, code, and in 3D you have to deal with lighting, camera, textures... It takes a high level of dedication. I speak from experience here.

Hm, isometric could work well enough in theory, and could be done with no trouble in a program like Game Maker; they even have a tutorial for such a thing. And given the blocky visual style, isometric seems like a perfectly suitable style; if Capcom made the game during the PS1 era, they quite likely would have used that. Ooh, I'm actually seeing GM's minimal of 3D functions used to build a 3D world that looks isometric, as in the camera views it from that 45-degree angle, and doesn't draw the walls closer to the camera; this could allow for the possibility of rotating the camera! If I wasn't busy with other projects, I would totally get started on a working model for that!
