AmigaOS4 notes
==============

This game is largely untested. OpenGL is unavailable because of the
lack of a GLEW port.

The TutorialTom.lua script has been modified to work around an issue.
When starting the Tutorial, immediately click on "Tutorial Tom" before
he walks away. After the initial dialogue screen, the tutorial should
start properly. The original .lua script is also provided if needed.

There are some delays when clicking through the dialogue screens.
Click once only, and be patient.

To gain FPS, switch to fullscreen at a lower resolution and use the
"Performance Tweaks" menu to disable some graphical options.

Drawer and game icons provided by tommysammy.


Introduction
=============

 The game tells the story of a world destroyed by a conflict between
 robots and their human masters. Play as Tux in a quest to save the
 world from the murderous rebel bots who know no mercy. You get to
 choose which path you wish to follow, and freedom of choice is
 everywhere in the game.

 FreedroidRPG features a real time combat system with melee and ranged
 weapons, fairly similar to the proprietary game Diablo. There is an
 innovative system of programs that can be run in order to take
 control of enemy robots, alter their behavior, or improve one's
 characteristics. You can use over 150 different kinds of items and
 fight countless enemies on your way to your destiny. An advanced
 dialog system provides story background and immersive role playing
 situations.

 The game is complete, fully playable, and can provide about 10 hours
 of fun. It is still being actively developed, and help is welcome in
 many areas. People having - or trying to acquire - programming, map
 editing, or writing skills will find FreedroidRPG to be an exciting,
 fast-moving project in which they can fully express their creativity.

 For advanced options execute "freedroidRPG-bin --help" to get a list of command
line options.
