The game "But I Love You". I want to reverse engineer it to release the game myself

[SkyWolfSilver]

Tbh this game back in 2014 was very popular and many people liked it and payed to have it finished. I am honestly starting to think I want to download the demo and reverse engineer the game and finish it myself. Of course I can't do it alone. If you don't know what I am getting at its this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=343370892

If you want the game to come out then I have four things to say:
1. Keep your damn money. I do not want it. I get payed enough with my job.
2. I am a college student so I have limited time to work on it
3. I need at least 6 people to help
4. I am a writer online and I know basic coding and game creation. So I can do it myself but it will take a very long time.

I doubt this will get any responses but I am already researching how to make the game myself by editing its files. So I am very serious about this. Add me on here and discord if you wanna help.

Please do not post any hate stuff on this. I will just flag it and get the comment taken down. I want to do this project. Since I do not own the game or the rights to it I will of course change the name and the major content to not get in trouble. I NEED this game.

Step 1: Get RPG Maker
Step 2: Draw some assets or reuse the ones delivered
Step 3: Put up the story that guy described on his Greenlight-Page
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit

Although it might seem like something you might consider "hate" comment this is to be taken seriously. That game is literally what every RPG Maker game is - a wild combination of clickable buttons and textboxes. The only thing that is special about those games is the "unique" story which is nothing you need to "reverse engineer" but rather just read it off of Greenlight.

You don't even need basic coding on such a project since you can use RPG Maker as some sort of "LEGO"-ish building environment: you grab the stuff you need, place it manually and the Engine does the rest.

So if this project is about you want to learn coding / game developement then just DO SOMETHING ELSE.
If this project is because of your enthusiasm about the games story then go for it but be warned back in the day those games were something rather "new" but nowadays you can watch almost daily releases of such games which annoys many many people out there so your project might suffer severe hate in the end.

Eitherway my recommendation is to drop this project but it is up to you whether it is worth your while

It's patently illegal to do this, so maybe you should just come up with something different.

Or contact the creators directly, unless they're all dead someone has to own the rights.

You have to be very careful with any intellectual property that you don't own the rights to. A Youtuber I know got sued, and lost several thousands of dollars, for editing videos of game footage that they thought was in the public domain. Dealing with others intellectual property should not be done lightly. Bootleg copies they are called a lot.
