The Iron Hells has been revived!
After a far-too-long hiatus, I've revived the project with a focus on using Ogre
and CEGUI for the interface. I've been working for the last few weeks to get
something operational.
The program builds on Mac OS X using Xcode, and the build is nearly working on
Linux. I don't have access to Visual C++ on Windows, so I'm slowly working with
getting the build working in Dev-Cpp for that platform.
The Iron Hells is a variant of the classic rogue-like role-playing game
Angband, with a few twists.
This project seeks to add an attractive, graphical interface with a full 3D
environment, icons, sound and music. Ogre
and Crazy Eddie's GUI are
being used for the interface.
Eventually, modifications to the core game will be made, such as wilderness
areas a la ZAngband, or
T.o.M.E; new monsters and items; additional
skills and abilities.
Anyone who wishes to become involved with the project, please contact
me. I really need a graphic
artist to help with designing and finishing the tilesets, models, and other imagery.
Supported Platforms
Any platform that supports Ogre and CEGUI and their libraries should work, but currently Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows are officially supported.
