Native not Emulation
OpenGOAL is a fully fledged native x86-64 port. This means better performance, accuracy and compatibility
Like Playing the Original
A major goal is ensuring the game feels the same as the original. It should also look the same (but hopefully better!)
Built From Scratch
OpenGOAL is built from the ground up in an attempt to mimic the original GOAL language
Extend and Modify
Supporting modifications to the original game is a major goal of the project
Quality of Life Increases
We are not afraid to add features that increase quality of life or accessibility
Learn About the Games
Explore the code for the original games to learn how they worked
About the Project
The project officially started back in 2020 and has continued to grow more and more ambitious
At a high level, our strategy is as follows:
- decompile the original game code into human-readable GOAL code
- develop our own compiler for GOAL and recompile game code for x86-64
- create a tool to extract game assets into formats that can be easily viewed or modified
- create tools to repack game assets into a format that our port uses
