Erebus

Erebus is a 2D real-time role-playing game, for Windows, Linux, Symbian and Android. This is under development, though already playable with three quests. Classic point-n-click style RPG, with dungeons to explore, enemies to fight, NPCs to talk to, sub-quests to complete, scenery to interact with, weapons, treasure and other items to find. Also supports Rogue-like keyboard controls.

Binaries available for Windows and Android. Linux must be compiled from source. Older versions are available for Symbian.

I am also developing the underlying game engine so that it can potentially be used to create new RPGs.

Features

Multiple quests (currently three, more will be added as development progresses!)
Also provides randomly generated dungeons to explore.
Choice of starting characters (currently Barbarian, Elf, Halfling, Ranger, Warrior), each with their own special skills.
Start straight into the action - none of this "For your first quest, please find your next door neighbour's pet cat".
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.
Completely free and Open Source - no ads, unlike many free Android apps.
User interface optimised to work with mouse, keyboard and/or touchscreen.
Cross-platform - available for Windows, Linux, Nokia Symbian and Android devices.
