[April fools] The Day Has Come: We Have the Source Code!
-
After nearly a decade of relentless pursuit—researching, begging, bribing, schmoozing, annoying, plotting, and exchanging more favors than we care to admit—we’ve finally done it. The impossible has become reality: We have the source code for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance.
Not only that, but we’ve already cleaned it up and made it compatible with modern systems, running smoothly on Windows 10+ and (of course) Linux.
Starting today, the code is publicly available on GitHub:
https://github.com/FAForever/SCFA_sourceOf course, as expected, this comes with a few caveats. We do not have copyright permissions for the game assets, nor do we have official authorization to use the brand. However, this breakthrough still unlocks unprecedented opportunities: we can now fix engine-level bugs, expand the game’s capabilities beyond anything we’ve ever imagined, and push FAF into a new era.
This is more than we ever hoped for. The future of FAF has never looked brighter.
