However, we may release a few snippets of our own code and other standalone systems for the community to use. Due to Valve’s request and despite our best efforts, OF will remain closed source indefinitely in layman’s terms, you won’t be able to create your own mods using OF code. Q: What happened to the reverse engineering project? Will the game remain open source?Ī: When we originally approached Valve with our reverse engineering efforts, they requested that we shut down OF Base, our codebase of reverse engineered gameplay code. Think of these other gamemodes as “games within a game”, each one utilizing the same core mechanics and visual style, but also incorporating wildly different gameplay features and unique narrative conceits. These additions, crafted by over a hundred community contributors, build upon the iconic mid-century aesthetic of TF2, the gameplay features of classic FPS games, and the creativity and innovation of the Source engine modding community.Ī: Partially! While the Deathmatch gamemode certainly takes inspiration from classic arena shooters and delivers a modern spin on their established gameplay features, it is only one of many gamemodes that are planned for inclusion in OF.

Why am I shooting at men in colorful jumpsuits? Where did all these guns come from? Why are you in my house?

Secondly, its been quite some time since we reopened downloads, and on the sidelines we’ve been paying close attention to some of the questions that players, fans and the community have raised. Check it out! Tell your friends! Embrace the power of purple and sepia! We’ll be introducing these refinements to the game proper in the future for now, you can get a taste of it on these very pages. First things first: the Open Fortress website has been given a brand new coat of paint, as part of a wider overhaul of OF’s visual language and design style.
