  Apologies but this made me chuckle a bit. If you want to pull this off in a 'commercial environment' (where people actually need to be paid) you just asked for a couple hundred million dollars, with at least 5 years until the engine is production-ready, and a >95% chance of total failure. I'm not saying it's impossible in an open source environment of course (after all, Linux happened). But you need to start small, need to show steady progress over a couple of years, and if it works, be ready to spend the rest of your life with it ;)

  Without the multiplayer there's OpenMW: https://openmw.org/en/ https://openmw.org/en/ Without the open world there's DarkPlaces (based on Quake), with games like Xonotic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xonotic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xonotic Both are really good considering it's hard to make something like this tbh. Not sure if there's anything good that has all 4 of those things, though ;). People often underestimate just how much work game engines are. And also how useless they are without an actual game on them.

    > Without the multiplayer there's OpenMW: https://openmw.org/en/ https://openmw.org/en/ From what I understand there are rumours that multiplayer is something they plan to develop after their 1.0 (feature-parity with the original Morrowind engine). There are already people making patchsets that add some form of multiplayer support.
