Faithful remake of LORD or a new game that pays homage?

Hey all, I could really use some input. I am working on a web-based (but terminal style) remake of the door game Legend of the Red Dragon. As I'm coding, I find myself at frequently crossroads of should I make this feature 100% like the original or give it an improvement. This led to an OVERALL decision of "Am I making a faithful remake of the original or making a new game that pays homage to the original." A sort of "Ship of Theseus" problem. And I'm having a hard time deciding on the direction. Which is a better pursuit? Giving people a hit of nostalgia, or something new for people to enjoy (but provides a familiar experience). submitted by /u/ThePunkyRooster [link] [comments]
