Awesome RPG:
Awesome RPG is a simplistic game shell designed around the idea of allowing the community to shape it as they see fit.
What do you mean 'Game Shell'?
All content in the game from items to quests to classes are fully customizable via XML files.
Also, due to the fact that the game is completely open source, the community can modify the game any way they see fit, from adding graphics to changing the game's genre altogether.
Whilst the base game itself will be fairly minimal on content and features, this does not mean I expect the community to do all the work for me, I will still release patches to iron out bugs etc, and I will frequently create mods/content packs of my own.
Why are you making this game?
I am creating this game because I believe that a community should choose how a game is shaped, and I would very much like to see the outcome. I also believe that sometimes, less is more and the fact that almost all features are completely optional adds to that.
Why is it called AwesomeRPG? That's a stupid name!
Why not? I'm not really making it to be some addictive, catchy AAA game, it's just to prototype an idea, develop my skills, and hopefully build a small community.
Who says it has to have a creative, original name? It's my game and I'll call it whatever I want!
tl;dr: Because I can.
Where can I download it or get the source code?
The source and all downloads can be found on the project page at https://sourceforge.net/p/awesomerpg

Currently I am working on:
> Multi-Quest support - Currently the game will support only 1 quest.
> Classes - This is the only feature that I haven't even started working on yet.
> XML Editor - An easy to use content editor that provides a simple GUI for adding/editing the XML content files.
> Cleaning up the code - If you've looked at the source code, you've probably seen how messy it is.
Can I help?
Sure! I'm always looking for help!
If you're a programmer and wish to help out here and there, you can post commits on the git repository on the project page.
If you're a programmer and wish to help out long term, PM me and we'll sort out something for communication (eg skype)
Likewise if you are a graphics artist (Currently looking for an artist to help me improve the Interface from the default Windows Forms interface)
