v0.9 is released (9 March 2011)

The time has come to toss it over the fence. You can find v0.9 at SourceForge.

First, the bad news: for now things are a little rough. It needs Java 6 to run. The Windows distribution should help you download that if your machine doesn’t have it installed. If you feel confident running Java applications, you can download the platform independent distro and run it yourself from the command line args on any Java 6 platform.

Now, the good news. The default campaign has been implemented end to end. Some numbers, at last count:
  • 869 items
  • 280 spells across 7 spellbooks
  • 225 foes
  • 36 NPCs
  • 30 character classes (13 heroic and 17 retainer)
  • 25 zones to explore
  • 12 player races
  • 3 genders
all in one campaign

It ships with an editor with which you can add, edit and delete any of the above, including adding your own campaign from scratch. This is effectively an “open beta” test – take it and play with it.
