GalaxyMage is a free, open-source tactical/strategy RPG for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.

A tactical RPG is a type of role-playing game where turn-based battles are fought on a 3D map. Examples of commercial tactical RPGs include Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts, and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.

Our goal is to make GalaxyMage a game that is relatively simple to pick up and play -- you can dive right in without getting bogged down in the details of the battle mechanics -- but to also allow for a lot of character development and customization. We also intend to create a unique, advanced AI system that allows enemy units to work together as a team and employ a wide variety of strategies.

This game engine is a reverse engineered clone of the original Infinity Engine used in the Baldur's Gate series, Planescape: Torment, and the Icewind Dale series for Linux/Unix, Mac OS X and Windows with some enhancements. It is still regarded as alpha.

Genecys is, or will be, a Massively Multi-player Online RPG or MMORPG. The intent of the Genecys project, is to design a completely free and open source online RPG for all to play, run, or modify. On a higher level.. one of the fundamental design goals of Genecys, is that it becomes a completely dynamic environment. Each server will be completely unique, and follow it's own progression of events. Maps will be generated randomly, at server startup, as will towns and NPCs. NPCs will be AI controlled, and have their own lives in the game, and exist to interact with the players, not just be slaughtered by them and re-pop.

Additional System Requirements: Requires cal3d and OpenRM to build and install.

glHack is a port of the game NetHack, using hardware acceleration via OpenGL® to render the 2D graphics. It uses LibSDL as the video and input library.

GnomeHack is a great version of the game... that's what got me hooked :). But the GUI-ness of it (popup windows, scrollbars, etc..) really wasn't to my taste. So I started work on glHack, to make it feel very similiar to the text-terminal version (nice & snappy). but with graphical tiles.

glHack uses OpenGL® for fast rendering, even with high resolutions like 1024x768. Like the TTY version, glHack runs fullscreen with a black background, and most of the screen is reserved for the map, with a few lines at the top for messages, and a few lines at the bottom for player status.
