The Open Source Project 'Xoreos' Released 0.0.2 'Aribeth'
28 Jul 2015 at 4:32 pm UTC

Quoting: rea987Well, it is nice to have such projects. However, the original Neverwinter Nights has been ported into GNU/Linux more than a decade ago and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords has just been ported recently. As it was proven by many other projects, overextending may result unfinished or failed ports. It would be nice if the developers touch upon the games one by one starting with one of following games; Neverwinter Nights 2, The Witcher, Dragon Age: Origins. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is likely to be ported by Aspyr if the Linux port of KotOR 2 is turned out to be a success. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is a Nintendo DS exclusive and it would be hard or even legally impossible to gather game assets for PC gamers.

From what I understand, xoreos has a greater goal than what an Aspyr port would have. It re-implements the artistic assets and atmosphere with purely FOSS. xoreos' scope is much wider.

I also doubt Aspyr would port KOTOR or NW2. Maybe DA: O...

I'm glad this project is making good progress. Thanks for the head up, DrMcCoy!

The goal is to have a game engine working or to fully port those awesome games to other OS'ses?

Quoting: ZekThePenguinLooks like Starbound skinned for high fantasy. First, we see a bunch of Minecraft knock-offs, now people are doing the same thing in 2d? WHY?

Because it sells.
