Cool! I would love to play this natively on Linux.

I would also really like to easily read somewhere, website or github, what the status of the project is. Is Diablo II (with or without LoD) entirely playable?

Do they actually also target other games as well? Their choice of words seem to indicate so: "OpenDiablo2 is an ARPG game engine in the same vein of the 2000's games, and supports playing Diablo 2." If so, which?

I only joined the project just this week, but I can tell you that the game isn't playable yet. It launches and runs, allowing you to create a character and walk around in town. Most functionality isn't wired up yet. There are a lot of opportunities to contribute.

There are no plans to support any other games, but it sounds like they expect to be able to use it to create new games.

is it cross-platform, since it's built in Go? runs on macOS?

I'm the lead and I use OSX Catalina :)

This is written in Go and you should have no issue running it on Linux. It looks like there’s a small setup script you need to run first.
