About
Alien Breed is a top-down run-and-gun game released by Team17 in 1991 for the Amiga, and later for MS-DOS. It was followed by a 1992 Special Edition, Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues (1993) and Tower Assault (1994). OpenBreed is a C# reimplementation effort covering Alien Breed Special Edition 92, Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues and Alien Breed: Tower Assault, paired with an editor for viewing and editing original game assets. It is not playable yet, as game-specific logic has not been implemented.
Getting started
It is not playable yet. The editor can already view maps, tilesets and images, play sounds, and edit maps using resources taken from the original Amiga or PC releases.
Known limitations
- gameplay: Specific game logic is not implemented yet; the project is not yet fully playable.
Additional notes
- Approach
- Much of the game data is hardcoded in the original executables, so the editor is being built first to trace that data and store it in dedicated databases.
- Editor
- The editor includes a Tower Assault level password generator that works for both the PC and Amiga versions.
