<em>Category:</em> Under development - not yet playable<br>
<em>Description:</em> Cyphesis is a simulated medieval fantasy RPG using A-Life techniques. Things that require low intelligence and/or cpu are going to be simulated. Rest is going to be scripted. Goal is to simulate as much as possible.
<p>
Ultimately this would be real alternative world with it's own set of 'physical laws' and 'living' beings. Of course these things are not currently
achievable. Goal is to just approximate those thing as much is sensible.
<p>
<b>Current status:</b><br>
Simple minds doing simple things (most of them imaginary). They get events from world and decide what to do and then send event(s) back to world
about their intentions. World then does things.

<blockquote><b>It's Gold. Nuff Said.</b></blockquote>
They're referring, of course, to the color of President Scott Draeker's boxer shorts.<br>
Wait. No.<br>

<em>Description:</em> A Linux port of Raven Software's popular doom-engine game<p>
<em>Changelog:</em>
<ul>
<li>Heretic runs on Alpha-machines now ! (code is 64bit-clean)
<li>now possible to use original '[' and ']' keys for inventory access instead
of 'k' and 'l', if "-DORIG_INVKEYS" defined in Makefile
<li>background run (SVGALib version only) support; vgaeretic will run
on the background, while you're switched off the console it runs on.
This can for example save network game from loosing client connection.
Background running is allowed by default. To disable this behaviour,
specify "-nobgrun" commandline switch and pass it as parameter to vgaheretic.
<li>mouse sensitivity regulation now works within the full range
(0-100%)
<li>while in demo modes, the main menu pop-up is now possible only through
the ESC key
<li>Heretic-home(~/.heretic) directory permissions are now solved
(If vgaheretic is started as suid-root by a user, then he will be
the owner of the (~/.heretic)-directory.)
<li>some or more bug-fixes
</ul>

This is the first release of this game, and so contains few levels, unpretty graphics and probably some bugs. But it works. |
