Wanderer: reimplementing Project Nomads

Wanderer reimplements the 2002 game Project Nomads in Java with libGDX, using assets from the original game. Its documented asset formats include models converted from Nebula NVX, textures converted from NTX, and animations converted from NAX; a story guide maps the original TCL scripts to JavaScript. The project aims to retain the original gameplay while fixing flaws.
