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!

Announcing the first release of #OpenCrystalCaves, an #OpenSource reimplementation of the #DOS platformer game, #CrystalCaves!

This release is barely playable - you can move around in the main level and enter/exit barren, unimplemented levels. Stay tuned for more to come!

@congusbongus I have to check it out. I played the game a lot in my youth but haven't got very far. Can't wait for it to be fully playable.

Edit: Looks like I have to wait a bit, Windows only for now. Looking forward to it.

@congusbongus The same engine runs Secret Agent, so once this is done that one should be trivial

@congusbongus This looks awesome! Do you also plan a #Linux release in the future?
