A clean-room reimplementation of Gas Powered Games’ Dungeon Siege (2002) in C#/.NET that loads original .dsres archives, GAS templates, Skrit scripts and meshes without redistributing copyrighted assets.
A clean-room reimplementation of Gas Powered Games’ Dungeon Siege (2002) in C#/.NET that loads original .dsres archives, GAS templates, Skrit scripts and meshes without redistributing copyrighted assets. The upstream README describes an open-source clean-room reimplementation of Dungeon Siege that loads original data files directly rather than redistributing them. It documents format parsers, a Skrit VM and alpha playable releases. No REA involvement is claimed. Original Dungeon Siege data required (GOG/Steam/discs). Remaining parity gaps include Bink movies, interior lighting and combat balance. Optional Epic Online Services multiplayer uses Epic’s SDK under separate terms. We have not independently tested it.
