Ancient Beast
A substantial tactical strategy game by Freezing Moon and its contributors. Its hex grid, movement, creatures, abilities, combat engine and artwork are the foundation.

Commons Relay
- A new capture-and-hold objective: first to three relay charges.
- A computer opponent and a shorter, eight-round mission.
- Closer starting positions and a Snow Bunny ally on each side.
- A smaller roster, guided opening, clear mission status and restart.
Code changes by Codex for Game Commons. This is a developer-curated AI remix, not an official Ancient Beast release.
What would you change?
A new objective. A different starting squad. A cooperative challenge. Download the actual editable project and ask your assistant to inspect the relay rules before making one focused change.

Reproduce the build & inspect the source
The archive contains the original game source, the modified files, included assets, package lockfile, original licence notices, remix documentation and the browser packaging script. Unused music is omitted; the build supplies a silent placeholder. Install the documented dependencies, then run the included build script. The exact upstream commit is d37961462eb91f97e81710ede456346148cd2522.
Do not upload an AGPL project through the prototype’s MIT-only HTML form. Share your fork/release link and the parent version through the private remix-return form for developer review.
Play it. Take it. Change it. Pass it on.
That is the idea behind Game Commons: complete, openly reusable games that keep growing through other people’s imagination, with credit carried forward. This playable fork is one concrete step towards it.
