I've seen so many mentions of ZC being open-sourced over the years, but it has yet to appear. Can anyone comment definitively about this? I'd be happy with a direct email or PM as well if folks want to avoid publicly stating a timeline.

I'd like to get the source of ZC in order to port it to HTML5. I'm currently building something very similar to ZC and if I could borrow/adapt some of the game engine logic (and maybe even support ZC quests!) it would be delightful. Not really wanting to reinvent the wheel!

It's definitely being worked on. I've spoke directly with Gleeok and Saffith myself. Shouldn't be too much longer. But porting it to HTML5 would be a huge undertaking trust me. A lot of the games logic from what I've seen uses the C libraries and Allegro which is a C based library. Even the quest themselves use allegro and those contain encryption making it impossible to port them over without decrypting them which I doubt the community and especially the developers would approve of. Good luck though!
