Action RPG, OSARE - Open source action roleplaying engine

I'm not author of this project

I've find this project and looks interesting. Maybe you will have seen it before, because i think that someone has posted a link on irc for it some time ago. Anyway i think it's worthy to mention it.

Looks like author aims at making game similar to diablo. There is already demo version 0.04 (win, mac, src), which looks very promising.

Surprisingly? You undersell us, ghoulsy :P

Have you seen dawn-rpg? It also has some really nice art, and is similar in style

no link? tsk tsk. I wouldn't agree that they have a similar style.. osare is much darker/more serious. but dawn has indeed good original art..

I didn't know that osare is in freegamedev development planet.

Shouldn't it be in games planet?

Or maybe in both? Games and development? Same rule could also be applied to jClassicRPG. What do you think?

*shrugs* they're both officially 'engines' in their current states..

PS: Feeds won't appear in both planets, they are intended to be usable together without double-spamming stuff.

Osare has now a google code page:

Hey everyone. I'm Clint "pfunked" Bellanger, the developer and main artist behind OSARE.

Today I finished up version 0.06. Now the dungeon has a variety of monsters (goblins, skeletons, zombies, antlions). Also you can interact with some objects by walking next to them (open chest/crate/barrel, flip switch to open a nearby door, etc).

Hello Clint,

Just wanted to say that you're doing great job. For long time i was wondering why there isn't any good open source action rpg (somehow games like egoboo or scourge didn't look interesting for me). This is IMHO perfect genre for open source game, because it features great replayability and doesn't require much work with scenarios, quest etc. Your project gives hope in that area.

Keep up great work
