WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
IMO this: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/fe129956bb1b3f7e3231c1... is the most exciting part.
Tiberian Sun remains my favourite C&C game. I know it was rushed and had some bugs but... I mean: The Forgotten? Absolutely there should be a mutant commando walking around with a portable railgun, physics be damned!
I like C&C3, but it isn't TS and I feel it abandoned a bit the direction TS was taking us.
Also check out https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer which is a modernization of the original code (!), rather than a rewrite with liberties.
Here's a nice list of open source remakes of commercial game engines in the spirit of OpenRA: https://github.com/radek-sprta/awesome-game-remakes
Note a lot of these like OpenRA are reimplementations of the game engines but want the original game media. A good deal work with GoG or Steam releases of the old games while some will want original media. For ones that want original media a lot of old game ISOs can be found on the Internet Archive.
