What is the OpenArcanum project? Imagine, that you have
 a favorite computer game that is ages old and you would like to play it
 again, but you have troubles running the game on newer computers. 
 
And even if you manage to run the game, there is nothing new to the 
game. Now, what if you want to add something new to the game? Like new quests, weapons or spells?
 You must use outdated and incomplete tools that are hard to use and 
does not offer you creation of the things you want. Also, what if you 
want to play the game in coop-mode or even as multiplayer, but the game does not offer you the options to play it over the internet. 
 So what are your options? If you're nerd enough, you would develop your own game engine that would replace the old one. 
 
And that is what OpenArcanum is - a game engine reimplementation for game Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamwo...</a> 
 
Yes, that forgotten RPG game from creators of Fallout 2. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yFxuAYftnys" width="560"></iframe> 
 This new engine would not simply replace the old engine, it 
would enchance the game with new features and options for its players. -Multiplatform - Not only, that the new engine would 
allow us to run the game on new operating systems without problems, but 
you would be able to run it on other platforms too, such as Linux, Mac and mobile platforms as well. -New and enchanced visual effects - dynamic lighting, shadows, weather effects etc. -Physics - bouncing bullets and new physics-based quests. -A new and better battle system - the original engine was quite buggy. -Coop and multiplayer modes - The engine is build on client-server architecture. -Heavily modding-friendly. You could literally edit 
anything by hand, no need for fancy and hard-to-use tools. Add your own 
UI widgets, edit scripts and game logic whenever you want. -A new in-game map and object editor - No more WorldEd. And much more... Don't worry, this is not a some kind of enthusiastic nonsense.  Everything was planned almost a decade ago. The project originally started back in 2009. However, due lack of support, the project was stopped in 2012. At that time, the OpenArcanum was already in development for 3 years and I had a robust and working engine written in C++. 
 Now, the whole game engine was rewritten to JavaScript to speed up the development progress, all the game assets were converted to modder and web friendly formats. And now it's time to finish the game.
