You're sure that this is the source of the rebooted game and not a release of the original SS1 code?

I don't understand your question. Because they've been unsuccessful in completing the reboot, releasing the sources is a way of apologizing. Since the instructions mention a PPC requirement to build on Mac, I'm assuming these are fairly old.

    Sounds like pure speculation (unless grandparent has more info to share). As far as I know, the project's scope grew out of control so the project was put on hold for several weeks. But it is now worked on again, with the initial, smaller scope but the new engine.

      Linking this without context suggest it's an answer to the parent's question, which was asking for proof this was an apology. The post is them stating that they're releasing the source code as a celebration of a big update, not as an apology. The only people saying it's an apology are speculating.

Here's an article from mid 2016 talking about it: https://www.gamezone.com/news/system-shock-s-original-source-code-is-going-to-be-released-to-the-public-3443665/ https://www.gamezone.com/news/system-shock-s-original-source... >Since the instructions mention a PPC requirement to build on Mac, I'm assuming these are fairly old. The game was released in 1994, so yeah, they are old :-)

This does indeed look like the original code. Given that it has instructions for building it under Code Warrior... And lots of ^M goodness :)
