+I was browsing /vp/ yesterday and saw people talking about
+“<a href="https://boards.4channel.org/vp/thread/37586490">something spaceworld
+related coming tomorrow.</a>”
+It was news to me, so I stopped by the usual haunts, asked what was up,
+and got the zip of assets, a few hours before the stream started.
+<p>
+Apparently RacieB, a legit person in the Telefang scene, had planned to stream
+the translated Space World ’97 demo, but the translation was clearly not getting
+finished fast enough (there’s a shocker).
+The streamers wanted something interesting to put on stream,
+and Helix Chamber had been planning to publish the assets,
+so someone in between made a Red/Blue hack that inserted the data—evolutions,
+backpics, overworld sprites, and a title screen—alongside fanmade frontpics,
+translated text, and made‐up text.
+Immediately after the stream, they would publish the zip and a series of
+articles about the content.
+
+<h2>Is it real?</h2>
+<p>
+My opinion? Most likely real.
+I didn’t know the assets existed,
+but I know where they came from and was expecting <em>something</em>
+from that direction eventually.
+The technical details behind the assets match what I expected.
+
+<h2>Care to share those technical details?</h2>
+<p>
+Not really, no.
+
+<h2>Why not?</h2>
+<p>
+Unlike <a href="/spaceworld/">the SW97 incident</a>,
+people are sensitive about the details getting out.
+I want to be clued in next time there’s an interesting leak,
+and I don’t feel like giving that up to sate the curiosity of Internet randos.
+Maybe if there were no other way for it to get out—but I actually expect the
+source for this one to come out in time with an acceptable level of provenance,
+even if it’s not going to be soon.
+
+<h2>So why should we believe you?</h2>
+<p>
+Beats me. Unlike last time, I haven’t seen the source directly myself:
+I’m one layer removed. If you listen to me, you’ll be two layers removed.
+I do assert that I, being both technical and skeptical,
+am nevertheless reasonably satisfied it’s real,
+and as far as I know there’s nothing of note left to leak besides provenance.
+
+<h2>Stream donations wargle bargle</h2>
+<p>
+Nothing to do with me.
+
+<h2>Where’s the ROM, you collectionist pig?</h2>
+<p>
+Sorry. The assets are real, but there is no ROM to leak.
