Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Continuum is a fork of the Xash3D-FWGS engine that removes loading screens from Half-Life 1 using a level streaming system, plus adds a controller-first UI and optional visual enhancements. It's interesting because it solves a historically painful UX issue in a classic game without modifying content, and documents the technical approach well.

Target audience: game developers and modders
