Sourcehold
An open-source engine re-implementation of the 2001 castle simulation game Stronghold, enabling cross-platform play.
What is Sourcehold?
Sourcehold is an open-source engine implementation of Stronghold, the classic castle simulation game originally released by Firefly Studios in 2001. It recreates the game engine using modern libraries like SDL2 and OpenAL to make Stronghold playable on modern and originally unsupported platforms, such as macOS and iOS, while not being a 100% accurate source port.
Gamers and developers who want to play or run the classic Stronghold game on modern operating systems like macOS and iOS, as well as those interested in game engine recreation and cross-platform compatibility projects.
Developers choose Sourcehold because it provides a way to run the original Stronghold game data on platforms it never officially supported, using a modern build system with CMake and dependency management, without requiring a perfect, bug-for-bug accurate recreation of the original engine.
