Hello,

I would like to announce the Open Eggbert project.

Open Eggbert aims to create:

• Free and open source drop-in replacement reimplementation of Speedy Blupi I/II games released in 1998 and 2001. Licenced under the GPLv3 or later licence.

Development: Very early stages. A demo already exists. Java programming language used. LibGDX game framework used.

New features: (with comparison to the original games)

• Multiplatform (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, Web)

Goals:

Links:

• Github (source code): https://github.com/openeggbert/open-eggbert
• Documentation: https://openeggbert.com
• File storage: https://drive.openeggbert.com
• Forum: https://forum.openeggbert.com
• List of webs with Speedy Blupi related content: https://net.nanoboot.org/websites.jsp

Goals

1. To collect all available knowledge related to the games Speedy Blupi/Eggbert

What is not Open Eggbert

Open Eggbert is not recreation of other Blupi games, it recreates Speedy Blupi/Eggbert games only.
