https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2
Projects that in one way or another aim to modernize a classic, or try make it more playable on modern machine, or just try to expand on things (like gzdoom does)
what other projects are out there in a similar vein?

idk man, 14 steps seems a little much for a game i dont really like the control of, 14 steps to install a game and make it run as a lot in general honestly
You can install Mods to change the controls, for normal analog camera, Mouse and keyboard support or the mod that changes Mario’s Moveset to the Mario Odyssey Moveset
