I love this kind of free software (or open source) project.

It is a hard work for several years.

I think that the goal or finish of this work is the engine and a new (similar to old close game) set free assets (sprites, 3D models, maps, music...). And I know few projects in this point, OpenTTD and FreeDoom.

Are there more projects in this point?



I've been enjoying and contributing patches to Beyond All Reason, which traces its inspiration back to the Total Annihilation real time strategy game.

It's truly incredible what a community can achieve over the course of ~20 years of open-source contributions.


BAR is a surprisingly good game


OpenRA (Command & Conquer), CorsixTH (Theme Hospital), ET: Legacy (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) and FreeCiv (Civilization) are the examples I have spent the most time playing. I know there are others targeting games like Age of Empires and Heroes of Might and Magic but I haven't played them and I'm not sure if they are as mature.


VCMI (the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 one) is amazing!

There's a whole lot! Here's a list I found: https://github.com/radek-sprta/awesome-game-remakes


Widelands is based on/inspired by Settlers II.
