OpenGothic

Open source remake of Gothic 2: Night of the raven. Motivation: The original Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 are still great games, but it not easy to make them work on modern systems.
The goal of this project is to make a feature complete Gothic game client compatible with the game and mods.

Work in progress

Core gameplay is done, you can complete the first chapter, as well as all addon content for any guild.

1. Install original gothic game from CD/Steam/GOG/etc
