OpenKeeper

An open source clone of the Dungeon Keeper II game and engine.

Goal is to fully implement the game (version 1.7 with 3 bonus packs) as open source cross platform version, with minimal or no changes at all, using the original game assets. So it will require the original game to play / develop. Futher development could have fan made graphics (to at least enable standalone version) and features.

OpenKeeper is written in Java using JMonkeyEngine. Currently we are using JME 3.1 + Java 8.

Here is my YouTube channel where I sometimes publish videos of the progress.
