OpenMW is an attempt to reimplement the popular role playing game Morrowind. It aims to be a fully playable, open source implementation of the game. You must own Morrowind to use OpenMW.
To give you a better idea of what this project is about, here are some of the aims for the future of OpenMW:

  • be a full featured reimplementation of Morrowind
  • run natively on Windows, Linux and MacOS X
  • support all existing content, including Tribunal, Bloodmoon and all user created mods
  • allow much greater modability: change game rules, create new spell effects, etc through scripting.
  • fix system design bugs, like the "dirty" GMST entries in mods, and the savegame "doubling" problem
  • improve the interface and journal system
  • (possibly) improve game mechanics, physics, combat and AI
  • (possibly) support multiplayer at some point
  • (possibly) improve graphics to use more modern hardware

OpenMW is released under the GNU General Public License version 3. It is written in the D programming language, and all source code has been written completely from scratch. It also builds on various other open source tools, most notably OGRE for graphics.

Nicolay was recently interviewed by Free Gamer, you can find it here: Freegamer.blogspot.com

In other news Nicolay got a job, and so updates to OpenMw itself are coming in a little slowly right now. But not to worry, updates are coming! If you haven't checked the google group then a summary:
Bug fixes and ect.
A Git repository has been created so others can help work on OpenMw
OpenMw is now 64bit compatible!
