OpenPop is a project "TedTycoon" started which is an open-source clone of Populous. He started making some basic classes for the objects and some functions to load the Populous files in C++ but it still awaits some game programming experts to code the 3D game engine which it requires.

The project is hosted on sourceforge and is currently being managed by him. The project plans to duplicate all areas of Populous and then improve the bugs and add new features to the game.
