You basically described what that game is.
The point is, AO is not an indie game made by an indie development company.
And NnT is supposed to be a remake of AO.
The point of remakes is to make a game that's as good as the original, but with better graphics.
A small indie developer is unable to make a game that's as good as the original. That, by that definition, makes NnT a bad remake.
Not to mention the graphics part is not really that great either.

But we would not have the game had it not been for these shortcuts.

You can't just assume that. They might as well have made more small projects and gathered funds so they make a good remake. They didn't. They made a wrong decision and failed. Maybe that's why they're not cooperating with JAW anymore, because Lorne felt NnT is not as good as it should be.
