Revision as of 12:53, 6 August 2024

Hello,

I would like to announce the Open Eggbert project, launching in June 2024.

Open Eggbert's goal is to develop:

A free and open-source reimplementation (from the scratch) of the Speedy Blupi I/II games (for Windows), originally released in 1998 and 2001. It is licensed under GPLv3 or later and support multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, and the Web.

Currently, the project is in its early stages of development. We have a demo available, and we're using Java along with the LibGDX game framework.

We plan to incorporate new features that will enhance the original games.

Please note: Open Eggbert is specifically focused on recreating Speedy Blupi/Eggbert games. It does not include other Blupi games.

Goals

To collect all available knowledge related to the games Speedy Blupi/Eggbert
To create the ultimate specification of Speedy Blupi game.
To reimplement the original Speedy Blupi game engine
To reverse engineer the origin Speedy Blupi game engine (EXE or XAP files) This has the purpose to find out, how Speedy Blupi engine works in detail.
To create free replacements of game assets (MIDI music, WAV sounds, BMP graphics)
To specify and implement new features with comparison to Speedy Blupi I/II
