So my friend (which was previously from My friend needs help) wanted to make an idea for the hello engine, but yet, the replier disagrees. So this is what my friend says about this:
I tried to ask Hello on Twitter about what he would think of porting Hello Mario Engine to an open-source engine like Godot if I voluneered to make original graphics for it. The benefits of this would be twofold:
1. It would make newbies more able to use HME without paying $100 for Game Maker Studio, because if you are a newbie and want to use HME then why would you pay $100 to use it and Hello doesn't even get a cut.
2. Changing the graphics would make it able to get more publicity such as being showcased on the Godot website without fear of legal issues. And for MFGG purposes the assets can be changed back anyways.
Edit (My friend says this as well):
I don't have an idea in mind for a game. All I want is for Hello to port his engine to a free/open source game maker so that more people will want to use it as you can see they used to on MFGG and the YoYoGames Sandbox. I think that would lead to more fangame creations with a free, easy to use engine. The fact that I am volunteering to replace the graphics shows that it's not for me, because why would they use those graphics? It's just to make Hello Engine more popular if he ports it to Godot and allow more people to make fangames. And also I suggested Hello to port it instead of me because he is a better programmer and I don't need to work on it because like I said it is for OTHER people to use so I don't need any input. I was trying to be helpful to him by volunteering to replace the graphics so it got more publicity without legal problems.
The reason my friend is asking for help is because Hello doesn't seem to be convinced this is a good idea, but both of us think it would be exciting for the fangame community. So what do you guys think? If you think this is a good idea, he hopes it can change Hello's mind. So if you agree, what is my friend going to do?
