be wary though, in the age of AI vibe-coding and "decomps", a lot of people who know little about software development start with a lot of enthusiasm with such projects but then lose interest and let it die and move on to the next thing. and often no one else would pick it up either as it often was in open source, there's just too many things going on and too many possibilities now. not saying this is what will happen with this project specifically, "AI" is not a black-and-white thing the way most people see it and feel about it (a general problem in society, people are hopelessly polarized, "if you're not with us then you're against us", as if they've never heard that nuances are a thing), but what's definitely needed in this and other areas is some sort of curating. either way, i think for one's own sanity, for everything new shiny thing that comes out, first assume it's vibe-coded AI slop. pay closer attention to things only when there's a somewhat proven track record of dedication over some period of time, i guess that's the way to handle this nowadays.

As you may know, Vibe Coding and other tools have accelerated and created new projects.   I can't say that it's just AI without human ideas. Many Total War-style games are being released, but also AoE-style games. Everything's coming out, but I like that there are people bringing interesting concepts.    

Not yet. But it has a Discord server. It's in the video description. There are a lot of clones of classic games coming out lately.  

Do you know if there is access to the source code, @Nicolaus_von_Kues?
