LINUXGAMES

Hero of Allacrost, an open source single player role-playing game, had a version 0.2.1 release this month. New features:

• You may now have multiple characters in your party, and hence in battles
• Support for saving and loading the game has been added
• Game settings (display, audio, key and joystick mappings) are now saved and restored automatically
• Treasure chests have been added to maps
• The ability to run in map mode is now active, along with a stamina bar that depletes while running
• The menu layout for battles has been improved
• The shopping interface has been vastly upgraded, and now sports a new “shopping cart” like functionality
• Upon entering a map, an introductory text and location graphic are displayed briefly
• We now support interactive dialogues in maps (e.g., you can select a response in specific conversations)
• Various updates to the party menu screen
• Audio playback quality has been improved greatly
• OpenAL-based audio engine

It’s also noted that this will be the last tech demo for the project, and future work will be focused on complete game demos.
