## **Overview** The **Open Tournament Project** is a community-driven initiative to create a new first-person shooter (FPS) game that draws inspiration from classic titles like *Unreal Tournament*, *Quake*, and other iconic games in the genre. Our goal is to polish and expand upon the timeless gameplay mechanics of these classics while fostering a collaborative open development environment. ## **Legal Information** - The codebase is © Open Tournament Games.
