What if OXC would be designed today ?

[bladum]

My question is:

Does discussion about game design if openxcom would be started today make any sense for you ?

I mean with assumption that project is started with different principles e.g. not being 1:1 copy of original game but rather focus on supporting the best way modding in particular way.

if it wouldn't copy the original game, it wouldn't be called openxcom, but opensomethingelse

and if you don't want/need to copy the original game, then you already have a million other game engines to choose from, why make a 1000001st?
