VERA20K

VERA20K is a community-led rewrite of the original engine, gamemd.exe. It uses the original game files, so you’ll need your own copy of Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge.

VERA20K is made by gamers, for gamers, and gamers have the final say in where it goes.

We need more maintainers. If you’d like to help review PRs, guide new contributors or look after part of the engine, say so on Discord or in the QQ group (1097193563).

Don’t be afraid to send a PR. It doesn’t have to be perfect; we’ll help with the rest.

Project goals

  1. Keep the gameplay, visuals and atmosphere of the original Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge.
  2. Support bigger battles: up to 30 players and 20,000 units on 500×500 maps.
  3. Incorporate known RTS features and some never seen before.
  4. Integrated multiplayer client

See the roadmap for current priorities and future plans.
