Nox
Game: Nox (Windows, 2000)
OpenNox: an open-source community project that extends the Nox engine. It supports all of the original version’s features: you can complete the campaign and play online. It adds new features, listed in the project’s documentation, and a scripting API for maps. Releases come from the “dev” branch: the latest, 1.9.0 alpha 13 (January 27, 2024), has an executable and zip for Windows and a tar.gz and AppImage for Linux, and there’s a Snap package, AUR packages, and nightly builds. Licensed GPL-3.0; the project is still receiving changes (September 2026) and says it includes no assets, text, or art from the original game. The repository includes legacy C code (the src/legacy folder, several MB) and data dumps (src/common/memmap, about 0.7 MB) from the original executable.
