So far, a ready-made build is available only for Windows. Actually, he is in front of you.
Launching is simple. Unpack the contents. Before enabling Carnage3D.exe, you first need to configure the game. Along the way build gamedata config there are 2 ".JSON" files, in one control settings, in the other video and paths to game files. By the way, this second config file (sys_config.json) must be configured before playing. Specify your screen resolution and path to the "GTADATA" folder (shown in one of the screenshots above). Do not touch files with the ".json.default" extension.

The program requires at least OpenGL v.3.2 ... If you have an older version of OpenGL, then the program will not work, and Softwire mode is not yet available. It should be understood that this is only a test pre-release version, and there may be some bugs.
