Freebooters project is a "Pirates!" clone based on SDL.
Freebooters is a strategy/action game set in the Caribbean Sea during the golden age of piracy.
It is based on the game mechanics of Sid Meiers "Pirates!", but is not an exact clone and uses neither code nor copyrighted material from the original.
The Caribbean Sea in the late 16th century: The Dutch, French, English and Spanish crown aim to expand their areas of influence.
You as an suspicious young captain are trying to make the best of it, as you may either become a brave merchant soul, a freebooting hero of your crown or a bloodlusty dreaded pirate leader.
Freebooters will hopefully become a free clone of the Sid Meier classic Pirates!. Its written in C++ using SDL and licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Main features:
- Gameplay:
- Some of the crucial game mechanisms already work, but they need to be improved a lot, both with regard to features (refine the mechanisms, simulate more realistically) and to playability (how hard is a game, do certain features make sense at all?)
- Several core elements are missing (e.g. fencing duels with other captains, attacking a harbour from the seaside)
- Therell be a lot more harbours all over the Caribbean Sea
- Most game data is bogus (such as features of the ships, harbours, history etc.) and has to be replaced with realistic ones
- Therell be a career mode and a mission mode
- Tech:
- The current menus are mostly prototypes, theyll be replaced with clickable images maps, which are yet to be raytraced. However, the game will always be comfortably playable with the keyboard only.
- The current selection of targets on the map is a prototype as well. It will be replaced with a navigatable sea map as in the original game. There is already a demo world as a separate binary called seapassagedemo. For the 0.3 release this will be integrated along with the full map data.
- Lots of tuning and other improvements are needed
- Multiplayer capabilities over IP will be tackled once the game is properly in shape for single player games and the game mechanisms are fully established
- This is an item for the very far future, for a foreseeable timeframe Freebooters will be singleplayer only like the original.

Perilar is a simple, fast computer role-playing game (CRPG), with an epic quest! You will cross a vast monster-infested wilderness to the dungeons to recover ancient weapons and artifacts, then to the dragons lairs, then face the final challenge...

Version 0.4 is a beta release for designing the gameplay, and future versions will have additional art, music, and sound effects.

Save Game Warning: Savefiles from previous versions will not be compatible with later versions until 1.0. At that point, Ill make sure they are always forward-compatible, but it hampers rapid development until then. Sorry for the trouble, but at least youll get to see the new world features in each version!

History

Over a thousand years ago, the world was a peaceful but primitive place. Humans lived in tribal societies, rarely warred, and there were few dangerous animals and no monsters. Your kingdom, Perilar, was one of the safest, as it was protected by four great dragons of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.

Where the Vampire King came from, nobody knows. He appeared in the far north and turned peaceful farmers into berserker raiders. After conquering the island kingdom of Oradon, he turned their druids to necromancy, raising armies of the dead to war on the next kingdom. Kingdom after kingdom fell, and in each, the people were slain and raised as undead warriors to assault the next kingdom.

As the army of the undead approached Perilar, the dragons closed the kingdom off with a magical seal. For a thousand years, the kingdom has been trapped inside, and none know the fate of the outside world.

In recent times, the seals have begun to fail. The Dragons have not been seen in centuries. Undead and monsters march in towards the castle of King Phalan and the village of Perilar, home to the last free people in the world. A great hero must do something about this, and you are determined to be that hero!

DOFUS is a popular masive multiplayer RPG online game.

Story:

A long time ago....

.. a dragon named Bolgrot arrived in the eternal Province of Amakna. The young Rykke Errel was the only one to be courageous enough to face the terrible creature.
Instead of reducing him to dust as it could easily have done it, the dragon bowed down before the young knight and swore loyalty to him.

Months passed by...

Rykke met Helsephine, a young enchantress, and fell madly in love with her. When he introduced Helsephine to Bolgrot, Rykke would never have guessed what was about to happen.
The dragon, mad with rage, killed the sweet Helsephine and flew away, destroying everything on its way.
Rykke chased the dragon. When he found it, the old friends confronted each other in a titanic fight. Using his weapons and his magic, Rykke succeeded to bring Bolgrot down. But fatally injured, the young hero died short after.

Looking for an explanation...

... about the sudden violence of Bolgrot, the wise men of Amakna discovered within the entrails of the dragon six unusually colored eggs that were called DOFUS. Later on, it was discovered that when these eggs were reunited their power was absolute.

Absolute, but also unstable. The wise men decided to conceal those terrible relics from the rest of the world.

During the following centuries,

the secret of the existence of the DOFUS was so well kept that people eventually forgot all about them. But a cursed day among others, the guardians of the secret discovered that the DOFUS had disappeared. The news quickly spread, arousing terror and covetousness.

It didnt take long for adventurers to show up in Amakna, attracted by the prospect of glory or plunder. The destiny of Amakna was from then on uncertain and the appearance of numerous creatures as terrifying as theyre unknown added to the confusion.
