history

Project history and usage

OpenHV is a free, open-source pixel-art science-fiction real-time strategy game built with the OpenRA engine and based on the Hard Vacuum design.

Project history

OpenHV is an open-content science-fiction real-time strategy game derived from Daniel Cook's Hard Vacuum design and implemented as an OpenRA mod. The project describes itself as a standalone game with LAN and internet multiplayer, skirmish bots, spectators, replay sharing, and an integrated map editor.

The source code, like the OpenRA engine and SDK scripts it uses, is released under GPLv3. Game artwork, sounds, rules, and other content use various Creative Commons licenses.

Adoption history

OpenHV is distributed for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its official website links releases and packages through itch.io, GitHub, Homebrew, Chocolatey, Winget, Flathub, Snapcraft, AUR, and Docker, reflecting adoption across both game storefronts and operating-system package ecosystems.

How it is used

Players use OpenHV for single-player skirmishes and network multiplayer, while spectators and replay sharing support community play. Modders edit MiniYAML rules and Lua scripts, and server operators can run the official dedicated-server mode or Docker image.

Why package nerds care

OpenHV demonstrates how an open-source game can combine an established engine with freely redistributable code and content. Its many official packaging channels, dedicated-server image, date-based releases, and editable MiniYAML and Lua content make it interesting to game packagers and modders.
