OpenGothic VS openblack

OpenGothic - Gothic 2 clone. C++, DX12, Vulkan, Metal

There is also OpenGothic. Which can be used standalone or through Luxtorpeda.

quests are implemented mostly in scripts. the window of the quest log is implemented here: https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/blob/master/game/game/questlog.cpp. game scripts then create topics and set their status by calling these functions

Well the screenshot shows G2 and OG works good enough for G2 for such a image. And OG already runs at least on M1 so using it as a good base for a remake or console port might be an valid option.

What for? Better improve an existing project, like https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic

Kinda exists. There is OpenGothic. "The goal of this project is to make a feature complete Gothic game client compatible with the game and mods." There is also a team of russians who released an early build for Android (video), download is still up :)

Was looking at source implementations of old game engines and came across https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic . Was surprised to find it is implementing Ray Tracing on Metal https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/issues/261 . This has to be a first.

openblack - Black & White clone. C++, OpenGL, Vulkan

There's this project, but I don't know how far they've come https://github.com/openblack/openblack

Few people are remaking the engine, the project is called openblack. The project is still in very early development but the idea behind it is the same as openmw for morrowind. It will still require a copy of the original game, but I hope this will make it easier for modders to eventually remaster the graphics.

There's always this.

I came across an open-source remake of Black & White (2001) yesterday, but to run it, you need the data files from the original game.
