About the Developer

My name is Joshua Selvidge, and I'm a cybersecurity engineer by trade with over a decade of experience in offensive and defensive security, red teaming, and infrastructure design. I’ve worked across DOD, Oil & Gas, and startup environments — and I’m passionate about learning and building.

This project began as a personal challenge: to learn game engine internals and shader programming by modernizing one of my favorite games — Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour. What started as an investigation into DX8 has evolved into a full modernization effort and the groundwork for a total overhaul mod inspired by modern military doctrine and real-world drone warfare.

My goals with this project are:

• Rebuild and modernize the original game engine with working shader and rendering backends (BGFX)
• Replace deprecated and proprietary dependencies with open-source or modern alternatives
• Lay the foundation for a fully rebuilt mod that imagines a modern, geopolitically aware C&C experience
• Open this work to the community to contribute, test, and iterate on

This is an open, passion-driven project. If you’re into C&C, game dev, shaders, or security engineering — you’re welcome here.
