Someone is turning the N64 version of Command & Conquer 1 into a fully working PC game

Thought this was pretty cool, had to share. Apparently it runs on Win98, too!

The video game I worked on as a game design student in 2019-2020 vs a game that's releasing this year.

The people that worked with on the student game project aren't even remotely tied to the game that's being released this year (Pipes.exe). Our game was not released publicly anywhere and the images I posted of it would be hard to find anyway in the first place.

The only explanation is pure coincidence.
