If all of this is as it sounds, this could be interesting. The game still looked sketchy to me, but if you describe some of the sections as "dream sequences" it seems, well not very KF, but a plausible/acceptable explanation/execution.
I think kilroyfx as described is more of a hacker and amateur game developer. Where as hacking for me goes against everything I normally do, and I would describe myself as a bleeding edge software engineer, and professional artist. So this could be a happy marriage. I'd especially love to have a lot of the original SoM hacking duties lifted off my shoulders so I could focus on the remake/simulator angle exclusively. I can do work on the remake while at the same time justifying it, but the hacking is more just focus on a single piece of software, which is cool in itself, but I think my time is better spent developing the remake (which itself is just a demo of the stuff I'm already developing... so no prob to do)
I see working with SoM a not something to get disheartened about as much just a geeky kind of nostalgia, but most of all an invitation to make blatant KF games, where otherwise we'd be charting a course thru fairly illegal territories. Not to mention it just happens KF is basically my all around favorite video game of all time so far, so... it's an easy thing to commit to for me.
