Could you build this?
No Re-implementing a proprietary commercial 3D game engine (LithTech 2.x) requires reverse-engineering legacy binaries, custom formats, and specialized low-level graphics/physics coding.
What it would actually take: Building an engine re-implementation requires disassembling original game executables (using Ghidra/IDA Pro) to decipher undocumented archive (REZ), world (DAT), and model (ABC) formats. The engine requires a custom modern rendering pipeline (Vulkan/OpenGL/DirectX), an audio system, netcode emulation, and a custom physics engine mimicking LithTech's collision detection. This requires senior game engine engineers and systems reverse engineers.
