OpenKB is an umbrella project for

1. Re-learning the rich history of the game (now lost).
2. Writing an open-source clone of the game (with ability to read the original data files).
3. Creating free graphics for the clone.

History

The [History] page right here is planned as a root source of all data. Please update it foremost. Then, propagate your updates to:
Wikipedia King's Bounty page
Mobygames King's Bounty page

Clone

A playable, yet very incomplete version is available in the git repository.

Refer to [CompileGuides] for your OS/environment to get hints on compiling.

[Roadmap] describes current status and TODOs in some detail.

[Gameplay] is used as a design document.
[Formats] page documents original game's file formats.

Free Content

As of 2020, we have completely recreated all of the original game's graphics, to be used freely in all King's Bounty-related projects, however the graphics are of poor quality and your artistic contributions would be greatly appreciated.

[Resources] a guide to all in-game assets. We use CC-BY-SA license.

For contributing, please use one of the following methods:

• Method A: Upload your art to OpenGameArt and post a link to this wiki.
• Method B: Fork the git repository, commit your art, and send a merge request. Believe it or not, sourceforge does support this feature, use the "fork" button.
• Method C: Create a new ticket, and attach your art to it.
