Formerly the WIP Angelband, and now something far removed----it is alive but in slow dev.
http://www.orbitalcows.com/ugaritrl.phpUgaritRL will be a rogue-like inspired by a variety of different games and programmed in Java by one person. The game is both free and open source but is more of a pointless demo than an actual game at this time.
The zip file contains source code and resource files only, most of which are also included in the Windows setup file. I will sporadically upload new builds, and any feedback will be appreciated. Email feedback to cowgod14[at]yahoo.com ([at] = @, but it confuses spam bots this way) or post it on our Facebook page.
Current Game Features
-The game engine currently consists of a character that can move around the screen, read signs, open a door, talk to an npc, use a teleporter, and travel to the world map.
-A small amount of miscellaneous artwork of varying quality. No music or sound yet.
-A spiffy map editor that can handle the limited capabilities the game engine has at this time.
-A character assembler program for assembling character images from images of each body part.
Here are some features that will make UgaritRL unique among rogue-likes:
-More mental than Binding of Isaac.
-Fully graphical (though with minimal graphics) - no ASCII mode
-Unique 3-option character development system inspired by Breath of Death VII
-A crafting system modeled upon Terraria's, but with less detail
-RTS-like buildings
-Easy resource gathering
-Ally creation, much like in Geneforge, but possibly customizable like army units in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
-Includes a map editor for creating new scenarios
-Based loosely upon ancient middle eastern myth (particularly Canaanite myth)
-Humans are livestock!
Next Updates
-Add aspect selection screen
-Add inventory system and openable containers
-Add crafting
-Allow multiple items per tile of the map (maybe)
-Update dialogue screen to include HTML (maybe)
-Add more items to item list
Release Date: 2023/08/11 (Tentative)
