Not just for Morrowind: RWC is the first standalone game (demo) written for OpenMW that uses none of Bethesda's proprietary assets (self.openmw)

Robo Wind Construct (RWC) is a standalone game demo for OpenMW that doesn't use any proprietary assets. It truly shows what can be possible with the OpenMW engine aside from reimplementing Gamebryo games.

Following the RWC project in OpenMW discord has been interesting. There's symbiosis between development, where RWC might need a feature that ends up ported to OpenMW and becomes available to everyone! I hope they're able to eventually complete the game.

That's really cool! I just finished playing the demo. Looking forward to seeing more.

One thing that bothers me has nothing to do with the demo itself, but with the people reporting on it by claiming it's somehow related to morrowind. Headlines like "Modders turn The Elder Srolls III: Morrowind into a robot shooter". No fellas, it has nothing to do with morrowind. It's like if people reported someone playing the siera game spsce quest and reported " Scummvm team mod kings quest into a space janitor game". It's nonsensical.

Anyway, neat to see people doing things like this with the engine.

Yeah, that bothered me too!

The thing that makes RWC special to me is that it is a completely distinct entity, legally and actually divorced from Morrowind in all ways. It's the most important part of the story!

Let's talk about OpenMW here! Playing it, hacking it, fixing problems, making mods, etc.

About OpenMW:

OpenMW is a free, open source, and modern engine which re-implements and extends the 2002 Gamebryo engine for the open-world role-playing game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Like the Construction Set for the original Morrowind engine, OpenMW comes with its own editor, called OpenMW-CS, which allows the user to edit or create their own mods or original games. Both OpenMW and OpenMW-CS are written from scratch, and aren’t made to support any third party programs that have been added to the original Morrowind engine to improve its functionality.

OpenMW is not a “mod” to Morrowind. It is an entirely different game engine that does not use the original Morrowind.exe in any way.
