Local Generals.io

Welcome to the fastest way to jump into Local Generals.io (LocalGen): download a build, launch an offline match, study the bots, and discover where the Qt-powered v6 rewrite is heading next.

LocalGen turns generals.io-style strategy into something you fully control on your own machine. You can play completely offline, challenge ready-to-run built-in bots, and battle friends over the same LAN—all without waiting on a hosted service. This website brings the most useful release guidance, bot docs, simulator notes, and contributor paths together in one place so you can move from curiosity to action quickly.

Three things matter before you dive in:

  • GitHub Releases are still the safest first stop if you want a stable build and a smooth first match.
  • master / v6.x is the ambitious Qt rewrite line for testers, contributors, and anyone following the project’s future.
  • The bot and simulator guides make it much easier to benchmark ideas, share evidence, and contribute meaningful improvements.

Whether you want a nostalgic local strategy session, a serious bot playground, or an open-source project worth improving, LocalGen gives you room to play, explore, and contribute.
