In my spare time I maintain osgameclones.com, a curated listing of over 1000 #OpenSource game clones and remakes. I usually see projects fall off and get abandoned, but recently I learned that OpenSA, a remake of the obscure 1999 🇦🇺 #RTS Swarm Assault, was completed shortly after being added in 2021!

It's great to see open source games reach the finish line, especially those showcasing odd gems like this. Made with the #OpenRA engine, pretty cool!
I've never played Swarm Assault despite also having the idea of an RTS with insects and other creatures so this should have been up my alley had I known about it. Definitely going to check this one out! It appears the game is discontinued but available as abandonware online.
As someone who has also made reverse-engineered games, it's trickier than most people think, so kudos to the dev team for pulling it off!
