Show HN: Open-source counter strike clone, from scratch, no game engine

solcloud — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 13:03:09 +0000

I started this project from scratch 3 years ago before cs2 was released.

Now game has all csgo features implemented notably: multiplayer, weapon shooting, grenade throwing, package planting, round end win conditions, buy menu, scoreboard, radar, economy, recoil patterns, sniper rifle, proper hitboxes with backtrack support, inventory managment and legendary dust2 map

what is missing is better audio and visuals as I am not really good at this category

if you wanna try game yourself you can download it here https://solcloud.itch.io/counter-strike-football#download or build from source code

any feedback is welcome, thank you for reading

That would be huge, also really good original scenario idea for a future sci-fi film

I hope so, but game will be now on categorized as pegi18 just because of license using strong language :D

that actually sounds kinda cool, but do I have a permission to use it from you, or now anybody can trademark it so I have to be first to register in German with GmbH or smth :D

I want people to contribute to it, to make it better game, with no bugs, better visuals etc., repository also contains assets that was not made me, so I guess only thing I can license is source code written in programming languages that was written only by me, idk, I should be lawyer not programmer :)

that is exactly my meaning of open source but as you can see so many people disagree, but now I merged random license so it is 0K now I guess :)

Maybe I am just waiting for somebody to open PR for adding license cause it looks like everybody is lawyer these days

I agree, but being good both at programming and art is quite unique skill, then there is also whole audio category, animations,...

If anybody is interested in in go for it, you can use server from repository and only code client side in godot than purchase bunch of cool assets and AAA game is born
