INTRODUCTION:

This is the homepage of the FreeDroid project.
We maintain two open source games: FreeDroidRPG and FreeDroid Classic.
As of 2008, only FreeDroidRPG is under active development.


			

FreeDroidRPG is a free isometric RPG game inspired by elements of Diablo and Fallout.
Originally based on FreeDroid Classic, this project now has vastly deviated from its parent.


This game tells the story of a world destroyed by a conflict between the bots 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 complete real time combat system with melee and ranged weapons, fairly similar 
to the proprietary game Diablo. There also is an innovative system of magic, 
with features such as forced casting and over 20 spells.
You can use over 50 different kinds of items and fight countless enemies on your way to your destiny.
We have an advanced dialogue system, which aims at being at least on par with Fallout's. 
The dialogues in the game represent a large part of the gameplay.
Finally, if guns are too inaccurate and blades too messy, you can always take over your enemies 
and have them fight on your side.

This game is still in heavy developement, and is likely to vastly change. 
We are actively looking for new members of the dev team.
If you think you can help us, please come to our irc channel or post something on the mailing list.
Patches are welcome.


			

FreeDroid Classic is a clone of the game "Paradroid" which was released on Commodore 64 in 1985.

				

In this game, you control a robot located within an interstellar spaceship consisting of several
decks connected by elevators. 

The aim of the game is to destroy all enemy robots by either shooting them or seizing
control over them by creating connections in a short subgame of electric circuits.

The graphics are designed to be a fairly faithful reproduction of the original game.
Development of this game is now finished. 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. 

Thank you to all contributors who made this game possible.
