If I am to achieve something, it's not here. Alas

the game was initially made by one coder, one mapper and one modeller.

Which means there was already team (with media content making ability, what is particularly important).

1 person can't do all the stuff alone, unless we are talking about simple and straightforward game.

While I can code, I'm not really into the team-leading, and then there should be game designers, artists, modellers, animators, composers, more designers, etc...

Just not feasible for a game of this scope. Pretty sure whoever came up with the idea of UFO: AI wasn't told:

if you want it, do it youself. Period.

Hello!

As you all already know, UFO: AI utilizes technology that is at least decade-and-a-half-old. This results in lesser functionality, cross-platformability and user-attractability that this game has all the potential to have.

So how about defining a long term (maybe even as long as the game's current age *shudders*) plan on migrating to a more modern engine?

Potential candidates:

• Unity Engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_%28game_engine%29) - a pretty popular engine among the indie developers of this genre. List of games that use this engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unity_Engine_games;
• Godot Engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godot_%28game_engine%29) - Unity-like engine that has the benefit of being open-source;
• OGRE Engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGRE) - another open-source engine, less used than Unity Engine but still having adequate indie titles to back it up.

Off the top of my head.

So maybe in another decade we'll see UFO: AI II shine in all its glory
