Remember Z, the original from 1996, not Steel Soldiers? The RTS where time was the only resource: no mining, no base building, just flags, territory and factories that build faster the more ground you hold. It turned 30 this year, so I rebuilt it in 3D in Unity with several of the classic levels. Version 1.1 just came out with a jungle level, a flying shuttle and Alan and Brad as a hero squad.
It’s free and open source (code GPL-3.0, assets CC BY-NC-SA), nothing is sold, and it’s not affiliated with Rebellion or The Bitmap Brothers.

Would love to hear from anyone who played the original. What did you love or hate about it?
Awesome! Time for a nostalgia hit.
If I’m understanding the github page right, it currently only has 3 levels? If I’m wrong, just FYI that’s the impression it gives to a newcomer.
Right now it has three of the classic levels, each rebuilt in a lot of detail, and more are coming in the next updates. Thanks for the heads up on how the page reads. There are about 2-3 hours of gameplay inside already!
