Dusk Graphical RPG Engine

I'd like to give 3 stars for actually being open source and fully sourced. Minus 1 for many (probably correctable) dogmatic problems and I suspect is "transitional code" (alpha under active hacking where certain things aren't working due to recent upgrade). It is Dogmatically slow: designed wait for remote server to react to each movement (MMORPG or what). However... Code needed minor edit to compile (for java-24: error->error3, blnApplet->false for no httpd server req'd, also for 2.7.2 do // Log.logError). For 2.7.3 uses 2.7.2 data but "precompiled" ones use different data that doesn't work with compiled code? Save files are broken none seem to work. Starup is "finicky" but works - if your save file is wrong you can't move if you can't move images are not shown. To work "non-applet mode" you have to hack code also remove isURL() from image loading. AND WORSE: battle never works. All stats are 0 if you manage to buy from store still 0. Hack in stats from other save get 0+2 doesn't matter. Battles either kill you or do nothing: damage to NPC is always 0 every save file i tried and a few hacked ones. Battle is buggy you have to click menu to attack but while moving mouse creature moves - another dogmatic bug. However it gets 2 stars it's open source and the source, if a little bent, works. And it's java it is portable and remote things (URLs ports) do work. Purchase button works but finicky. Movement sometimes ignores keyboard or mouse intermittently. Gameplay value is 0 without doing some work on playability v. engine upgrades.
