Primary LanguageC++MIT LicenseMIT

OpenGothic

Open source remake of Gothic 2: Night of the raven. Motivation: The original Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 are still great games, but it not easy to make them work on modern systems.
The goal of this project is to make a feature complete Gothic game client compatible with the game and mods.
