The Origins project

We're gradually restoring part of the old SamaGames, using the source code and maps released after it closed.

Where does the project come from?

Bringing back
the games from back then

We played on SamaGames ourselves and have good memories of it. When we found the resources released after it closed, we wanted to see how far we could get by bringing the server back. That's how Origins was born.

What's already been done

We work on the project alongside our everyday activities. We started from the original source code, plugins and maps made available by the former team. Some of the code needed adapting, and a few missing pieces had to be rebuilt.

The hub, player accounts, parties and several mini-games have already been restored: UpperVoid, Quake, HeroBattle, BomberMan, PacMan, AgarMC, UHCRun and others. The Saturday sessions are there to test everything in real conditions, while we finish some maps.

Seasonal openings

We don't plan on keeping the server open all year round. The idea is more to offer several few-week seasons, during holidays or for special events. Between seasons, we'll take the time to fix issues and get the next one ready.

For now, we are in pre-opening: the server opens every Saturday from 10am to 11pm, open to everyone.

An independent project

Origins is a personal, volunteer project with no commercial goal. The name we use today is SamaGames Origins. We've also started reaching out to several members of the former team, to explain what we're doing and hear what they think.

This project is not an official SamaGames reopening and doesn't represent its former team. The creators of the resources we reuse are credited, and the source code licences are kept intact.

Want to lend a hand?

Building

Some maps and arenas still need finishing touches or rework.

Graphics

We're looking for help with visuals, the site and the overall graphic identity.

Testing

We'll need people to try the mini-games together, spot bugs and check that matches run smoothly.

Outreach

We'd also like help getting the word out about the project and preparing future seasons.
