He's come way too far to dumpster it again. IIRC he only dumpstered it in the first place to change NPC and X/Zero artstyles to PSX derivative SNES sprites and to change engines, second and most recent engine port was a literal port-over from... Flash, which it apparently ran on before OpenFL or Haxe.

He does have a developer team or art team along with him now and they would probably fucking strangle him if he suggested another complete do-over.
