Classic HD Pathologic 1 in Unity

8 hours ago I had idea:

Everyone says Pathologic 1 has ugly graphics. But it has exceptional art style - it just needs better lightning + volumetric fog + whole map visibility. I saw LLMs are now really good at decompiling games and I thought - let's reverse engineer game assets and mechanics and do engine port to unity (edited wrongly talking about decomp in original post)

further progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXe-sEWJ2Q8

Testing visual improvements - I feel they enhance p1s atmosphere

Edit 2: I get so many downvotes because of AI - I want to be transparent about it and not omit that fact. "Make pathologic 1 in unity" - this can take you only so far, LLMs are great on Reverse Engineering projects in mere 20 minutes but they don't have like human taste and produce AI slop - this is interactive process of me getting my vision on visuals, feelings, ambiance like during night/gloaming. With LLMs - extracting whole map and getting this into unity - 1-2h of time. Getting good ambiance/feeling/visuals - 7-8 hours of my time iterating with llms, feeling it, reviewing output, tweaking values, keeping performance in mind

"If it looks good, this is more matter of my personal choices (vision) and not: AI MAKE PATHOLOGIC LOOK GOOD"

Some people hate anything AI/LLM

I kinda also hate AI, I coded manually for 13 years and this year it has changed - this is just prompting and reading. And i've been struggling to find a job due to AI - a friend is helping me with work. But on the other hand in just 10 hours I've got results that I really like. At work I need to understand and be responsible for what I deliver and if I had money/time/people like game studio I'd polish every little thing here. But this is matter of compromises - this is for fun and it has to look good

So I present something that doesn't look like ai slop
