[edit] Project Description
FreedroidRPG is a mature open source sci-fi isometric role playing game. It strives at providing an immersive ambience backed by refined graphics and music tracks. Besides the hack'n'slash action phases, dialogs with dozens of NPCs take care of storytelling. The player can fight with melee or ranged weapons, take control of his enemies by hacking, and remotely execute code on enemy robots. We have a storyline that we try to make strong enough to be appealing to people who are more after roleplaying than hack'n'slash. The development team is currently made of around four people - two coders, and two people taking care of game content, and we get occasional contributions from many other people. Those notably includes translations, music tracks and graphics. All of us are volunteers. We gave a lightning talk at FOSDEM 2009 that can be found at http://fosdem.unixheads.org/2009/lightningtalks/freedroidrpg.xvid.avi

[edit] Mentor Capacity
We are interested in working both with students and educators, with all kinds of backgrounds, and especially programming or art. A game is made both of a lot of algorithms, and a lot of artistic content. We need help - and will be happy to help people help us - in both areas!
We are located in Europe (mostly France, Sweden and Germany).
[edit] Links to Information about our Community
All development is done publically on the Internet. IRC is our primary communication medium. The mailing list is in use but decisions are usually made on IRC. People interested in how we work together, and how they could join us, should therefore try out the game, and join the IRC channel to talk with the developers (and report bugs!). Our website and wiki contain little information, as we focus our limited resources on developing the game, but both are certainly worth skimming through in order to learn more about FreedroidRPG.
