Description
About This Game
Thank you, OpenOMF
This remake stands on the shoulders of OpenOMF, and we want to say that as loudly as we can.Since 2013, the OpenOMF team has reverse-engineered One Must Fall 2097 and rebuilt it as free, open-source software, so the community could keep playing the game it loves on modern computers. Every fight in this remake runs on their code. The moves, the damage, the timing and the computer opponent all come straight from OpenOMF, the menus around the fight are ported from their work, and our online play's rollback netcode follows their design. We built the 3D on top. They built the game underneath it.
Thank you to everyone who has ever contributed to OpenOMF, especially katajakasa, Vagabond, Nopey, mrannanj, animehunter and LegendaryBlueShirt, and to every developer, tester and bug reporter who put in the hours. And thank you to the whole One Must Fall community: the fans who kept fighting, modding, sharing and talking about this game for more than thirty years. You are the reason it is still here, and this remake is a love letter to you.
If you love this game, go say hi to them, and play OpenOMF too. It's free on Windows, Mac, Linux and more. Search for OpenOMF to find their website, their GitHub, and the One Must Fall Discord where the team and the community hang out.
