GalaxyMage 0.1.0

GalaxyMage is a free, open-source tactical/strategic RPG for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.
The tipical RPG game system is a type of role-playing game where turn-based battles are fought on a 3D map. Examples of commercial tactical RPGs include Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts, and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.
Our goal is to make GalaxyMage a game that is relatively simple to pick up and play -- you can dive right in without getting bogged down in the details of the battle mechanics -- but to also allow for a lot of character development and customization.
We also intend to create a unique, advanced AI system that allows enemy units to work together as a team and employ a wide variety of strategies. And eventually, we plan on adding networked multiplayer support.
Enhancements:
- Although this is our first release, the battle engine is nearly feature-complete. Players can participate in an entire battle against an AI opponent, complete with a 3D battle map, music, and sounds. Designers can develop their own custom battle maps, scenarios, character classes, and abilities. However, 0.1.0 doesnt come bundled with a lot of content: right now, there are only two battle scenarios, three character classes, and four abilities implemented. The AI is also not particularly challenging.
- All abilities, classes, scenarios, and maps are defined in simple, text-based configuration files, so it should be fairly easy for designers to jump in and start creating a new GalaxyMage campaign.
