Hello, and welcome to the Freedroid page.
|
|
|
|
THE CLASSICAL FREEDROID: Freedroid is a clone of the classic game
|
|
"Paradroid" on Commodore 64 with some improvements and extensions to
|
|
the classic version.
|
|
|
|
In this game, you control a robot, depicted by a small white ball with
|
|
a few numbers within an interstellar spaceship consisting of several
|
|
decks connected by elevators.
|
|
|
|
The aim of the game is to destroy all enemy robots, depicted by small
|
|
black balls with a few numbers, by either shooting them or seizing
|
|
control over them by creating connections in a short subgame of
|
|
electric circuits.
|
|
|
|
Development of this game is now complete. The final version came out
|
|
in august 2003 and runs on Linux, Mac OSX, Sharp Zaurus and even that
|
|
strange Windows wannabe of an operating system. Thanks to all who
|
|
helped.
|
|
Minor fixes and maintainance will of course still continue though...
|
|
|
|
FREEDROID RPG: The Freedroid RPG is an extension/modification of the
|
|
classical freedroid engine into an RPG. The main differences to the
|
|
classical version are as follows:
|
|
* The Tux is the main character of the rpg. He is not displayed as a
|
|
ball like in Freedroid but rather as an animated character, while
|
|
other droids and humans in the game are still represented as the balls
|
|
with some number or code in them.
|
|
* Dialogs and chatting with friendly droids and humans:
|
|
Multiple-choice menus and voice samples (with subtitles for those
|
|
without sound).
|
|
* Melee weapons, armour and other items to be equipped have been
|
|
added.
|
|
* An automap feature was added.
|
|
* Saving and loading of games.
|
|
* A shop to trade things.
|
|
* Controls are different: Mouse can be used to do everything.
|
|
Joystick is not supported for moving around any more.
|
|
* The archive size (including sound samples) is about 10 times as big
|
|
as for the classical version. I'd like to appologize to all 56K modem
|
|
owners at this point.
