The source is GPL v3, the art comes entirely from 3rd party Free sources, with particular help from FLARE, and Open Game Art.
Some features:
* Supports point-n-click UI (mouse or touch), as well as Rogue-like keyboard controls.
* Predefined quests and random dungeons.
* Vector-based world rather than tile-based - so items/scenery can be placed in any position, or aligned in any direction.
* 2D animated graphics, with zoom in/out, and lighting effects.
Version 0.5 was covered by the Free Gamer blog, which includes a video of the gameplay. I've improved some of the comments mentioned - a "turbo" mode allows faster movement across the map, and a bouncing red circle appears to highlight the currently selected enemy. (The game does feature sound effects, but unfortunately there are some problems on some Linux machines that I haven't been able to resolve - anyone have experience with sounds using Qt/Phonon on Linux?) See http://erebusrpg.sourceforge.net/erebus.html#history for full history.
The game is still fairly short with three quests to play, but I'm working on some more longer quests. You can also now play through a randomly generated dungeon.
Future plans include:
* More quests!
* Improvements to the random level/quest generation.
* Skill system.
* More enemies.
* In-game music.
* Debian packaging.
* Translations.
* Making it easier to mod, or use as a game engine for other RPGs (much of the data is stored in XML files, but there are still some things hard-coded; also some tools would be useful to make it easier to create quests rather than generating by hand).
Erebus is written in C++ using Qt - Qt has been a huge help (providing good 2D graphics support, and the UI toolkit, as well as making it easy to be cross-platform). An RPG has been a game I've wanted to write for years (ever since my first attempt on my Amiga 1200), but all the previous attempts never really got anywhere...
