Nazghul is an old-school RPG clone modeled after those made in the heyday of
top-down, 2d tile-based graphics. It is specifically modeled after Ultima V, so
if you've played that game then this should be familiar.
Haxima is the first full-featured game built with the nazghul engine. It comes
packaged with nazghul-0.5.0 and later. Haxima includes:
o A complete, playable game
o U5-like game play
o Multiple characters in the player party
o Clone of U5 magic system, with some extras
o A sizable wilderness
o Several towns
o Several dungeons
o A main quest
o Several side quests
o Talking NPC's
o Scripted game world
o Open-source engine code
For the USER_Guide and other interesting documents, see docs/
KUDOS to spotUP, who made it possible to stand my constant nagging and together
with his beautiful "Dummies Guide to Porting" (also available on OS4Depot.net)
helped me succesfully port once more - and even build a working exe :-)
Thanks mate!!!
Spot's comment; Well NP mate, but you should update your projects aswell.
I did it for you this time. ;)
Raziel's comment: I'll try, mate :-)
