Replaced the sprite for the blue octorok-like enemy with one of my own.

@beardalaxy Well after looking at Wikipedia, it seems like those games do at least let you move your character around somewhat. I was under the impression that it was nothing but quicktime events, but that just means it's half walking sim and half choose your own adventure book.

Omikron was the only one that seemed mildly interesting to me, but at the same time it gave me uncanny vibes for whatever reason. It seemed like a cool Deus Ex-like open-world, cyberpunk adventure with some fantasy elements sprinkled in (I love science-fantasy), but at the same time, the facial animations, along with the voice acting looks uncanny to me, even for a game from 1999, and it's buggy as fuck from what I've heard. It also delves into that Undertale-like metafiction shit where the game's characters know they are in a video game and it's actually a huge part of the plot. After watching this video essay on it, I don't think I will ever play it.

But yeah, if you look into David Cage's background, it's clear that he is a talentless hack. He only joined the games industry because he was fed up with the music industry and his lack of game design knowledge pretty much limits him to adventure games. His first pitch for Omikron was rejected by multiple studios because it was deemed technically impossible, so he took matters into his own hands. It's impressive that he was able to assemble a team to build a game engine comparable to iD Tech, GoldScr, and Unreal from scratch, but it's clear that Cage himself only has talent in script-writing.

I'm now in the process of replacing the copyrighted assets with free-to-use assets or my own. So far, I only replaced the graphics for one enemy.

@beardalaxy And now I just learned that the game was involved in a COVID-related conspiracy theory.

@beardalaxy Omnikron seems like the only one that can be considered a game.

@waltercool You can't sell anything anymore without getting fined. It's ridiculous.
