Ravenwood Fair Remake -

This is the biggest roadblock. Lolapps went bankrupt, and the IP was absorbed by 6 Waves, which then dissipated. The rights to "Ravenwood," the specific critter designs (Glumph, Sprox, Sniffle), and the music are likely in legal limbo. A studio might have to spend millions just to untangle the ownership, or they would have to pull a "spiritual successor" (like Planet Coaster tried to do for Rollercoaster Tycoon).

Ravenwood Fair was spooky but never scary. A remake would fill the niche for players who want skeletons and tombstones without gore. A studio might have to spend millions just

Projects like Flashpoint Archive have shown that digital preservation matters. However, an archived version is not a remake. Players want a native, downloadable version for Steam, Switch, and mobile that isn't shackled to a dead plugin.

The original was flat 2D Flash. A remake should use a 2.5D perspective (like Octopath Traveler or Thirsty Suitors). Keep the original character designs by Brenda Romero and artist Tom Hall intact but re-render them in high-definition, hand-animated sprites. The lighting needs to be dynamic: the forest should get genuinely darker (and spookier) at night, requiring lanterns.
