Parts II and III involve simple interplanetary flight, while in part I you are bound to one planet. <p>MDDClone-SDL in its current status, is a non-playable tech demo of Mercenary I. You can walk through doors of underground complexes, teleport yourself to different complexes, and watch how the objects are drawn. Please read the Keys file for a list of keys usable in the game. <p>Sadly, I can't release the source code. The algorithms contained in Mercenary may still be in use by the Novagen team (even if they are not called that now) for commercial reasons, and without their explicit permission we do not consider it appropriate to freely publish what should be considered their work. | MDDClone-SDL Tech demo 2 - not yet playable | new | MDDClone-SDL |
