For context this is the outcome of a failed Kickstarter.

It’s disappointing that they didn’t stick to the goals of the Kickstarter which was a straight update of the original.

This is probably the next best thing to completing the Kickstarter since clearly they’ve run out of funds.

I’m not angry that the money is gone but it is s classic software engineering error for scope to blow out and the budget to disappear as a result with inevitable project cancellation.

So it’s my money, and the money of the other Kickstarter backers, that gives you this source. You’re welcome.

To the credit of Nightdive, this is the most likely path through which system shock 1 will be cleaned up and updated, hopefully with usable controls as opposed to the flat out unusable controls of the original.
