[ Game -> Update ]

The old FIFE crew is back at it, this time releasing <a href="http://blog.parpg.net/2010/03/parpg-tec ... ilable/">a tech demo</a> of their PARPG game. The game will be a Fallout-inspired post apocalyptic RPG with the following elements:
<ul>
<li>Singleplayer RPG. No plans for multiplayer support. Coop gameplay not a priority.</li>
<li>Post-apocalyptic setting. Story, setting and game mechanics details are yet to be discussed.</li>
<li>Written in Python (2.6x branch). Utilizing the <a href="http://fifengine.de/">FIFE game engine</a>.</li>
<li>Isometric 2d graphics instead of going for full 3d engine complexity.</li>
<li>Open source code and asset licensing.</li>
<li>Non-profit. The game and all tools will be free of charge for everyone.</li>
<li>Open development philosophy. Public development wiki and forums. Anonymous SVN checkout.</li>
<li>Meaningful choices and consequences. Multiple paths to complete quests, including non-violent ways.</li>
<li>Tactical, turnbased combat.</li>
<li>Emphasis on well-written detailed dialogue.</li>
</ul>
Head over to their website and <a href="http://blog.parpg.net/2010/03/parpg-tec ... ble/">grab the demo</a>.

Thanks mvBarracuda!
Update: Looks like it's not the old FIFE crew after all. From mvBarracuda: "One note though: the project is not FIFE-related besides that it utilizes FIFE as engine. No former FIFE devs are currently involved in PARPG besides me."

Thanks a bunch for the coverage

One note though: the project is not FIFE-related besides that it utilizes FIFE as engine. No former FIFE devs are currently involved in PARPG besides me.

That is actually really nice. You have come a long way, I just hope you finish it.

Well done.

Hell yeah, it looks great. Definitely could use some reskinning of the user interface graphics, but it's got some serious potential.

Batch update:
I didn't intially post it in here, but we're currently workng to get the project back on the track and we're (slowly) moving towards a 2nd techdemo release.

We'll be mostly focusing on improving the engine at this point as there is too much functionality missing at this point to add new content; especially the content pipeline and tools aren't fleshed out yet.

Anyway, for all still interested in the project:

I'll post another little update at the blog this week, covering our plans and the way towards techdemo 2.

EDIT: And there you go:

Tracking the project progress has never been easier!
