OpenSAGE

OpenSAGE is an open-source reimplementation of the SAGE game engine originally used in classic real-time strategy games such as Command and Conquer Generals and Battle for Middle-earth. The project aims to recreate the engine in a modern, maintainable codebase while preserving compatibility with original game assets and behavior. It is written primarily in C# and focuses on accuracy, ensuring that gameplay mechanics, rendering behavior, and system interactions closely match the original engine. OpenSAGE allows developers and enthusiasts to study, modify, and extend the engine without relying on proprietary software. It also serves as a preservation effort, ensuring that older games built on the SAGE engine can continue to run on modern systems. The architecture is designed to be modular, enabling future enhancements and experimentation with new features.
