Good news, the Unvaquished game is now open sourced
URL: https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished
It does not support PPC64 nor PPC64LE yet but I don't it would be too much work to get it ported.
I am more than happy to join anyone who want to start the PPC64LE port effort.

It does not compile yet due to some conditional checks for architecture. I have not attempted to modify the codes to make it compile yet.

I wonder if that is the same issue that I have been hitting when trying to compile certain projects. I just tried to build Veloren today and ended up opening an issue (https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/791) as it seems to rely on some x86 mmx functionality.

Is it not possible to use mmintrin.h (https://www.talospace.com/2019/07/easier-power-vectorizing-for-fun-and.html) to convert MMX to Altivec?
