Outer Heaven, a group of modders have got the go ahead from Konami themselves to create a remake of the very first Metal Gear title, released back in 1987 on the MSX. Konami have only asked that the end product shouldn’t include copyrighted material in terms of promotional and marketing use. Apart from that, the team are free to explore a ton of options in order to hopefully create a successful fan-remake of one of the most iconic and important titles in gaming history. The group have called out to anyone who who has experience with C++, modeling, level design, and other industry jobs, in which they should contact outerheavendev@gmail.com to express their interest.
No information has yet been revealed as to when the game will be available, but it’s most likely quite a while away considering quite a lot of talent is still required to make this project work. Keep in mind no profits are allowed to be made, so this will be free to download. A selection of images are available, showcasing the development made so far, as follows:
