Smartly Dressed Games drops Unturned source code

Releasing the source code of a massively successful multiplayer game is a masterclass in community trust and game longevity, enabling unprecedented modding capabilities.

• –Providing the actual source code eliminates the need for brittle decompilations, making high-quality community mods and total conversions much easier to build.
• –Omitting the proprietary BattlEye anti-cheat elements prevents code-level exploitation of the multiplayer ecosystem, striking a balance between open development and game security.
• –Operating under a temporary non-commercial license while planning a transition to MIT allows the developer to test the waters before fully committing to open source.
