OpenLiberty is a GitHub project focused on reimplementing Grand Theft Auto III (GTA 3) using the Godot Engine. The primary goal is to load and stream the game's map, collision data, models, and textures at runtime without utilizing any original code or files from GTA 3. This project does not aim for a direct 1:1 reimplementation due to the complexities involved, particularly the need to convert RenderWare formats to those compatible with Godot. OpenLiberty is designed with legal safety in mind, as it avoids using any code from Rockstar Games, which reduces the risk of legal complications. If successful, the project may also pursue a reimplementation of GTA San Andreas. The Godot Engine was selected for its modern features, user-friendliness, and efficient development capabilities. To run the project, users must download the repository, incorporate their own GTA 3 files, and execute it within the Godot Engine. Basic controls for player movement and vehicle interaction are included. The project encourages community contributions and has established communication channels on platforms like Discord and Matrix for discussions.
