Erebus is an Open Source RPG (Role-Playing Game), for PCs, smartphones, tablets and handhelds.
This is currently under development and in its early stages, though already playable with three quests, as well as having randomly generated dungeons to explore.
Features:
Erebus is available for Windows, Linux and Android.
For Windows, download the installer. If you get an error when trying to run, you may need to install the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable . Erebus is tested on Windows 7, 8, 10. Erebus can be controlled with keyboard and/or mouse, and also supports Windows touchscreens/tablets.
The source code is available, released under the GPL v3 or later. For Linux, you need to compile from the source. Please see the file erebus_source.txt (in the source archive) for details on how to compile. Future versions will have binaries available for Ubuntu. There is also a "portable" binary version available for 32-bit Linux at PortableLinuxGames (though this may be an older version). Erebus has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
For Android smartphones/tablets, you can install the APK. You will likely have to enable "Unknown sources" to allow installation, on your device's Settings (usually under Security) - if so, you may wish to consider disabling the option again after installing, for security. Erebus requires Android 4.1 or higher.
For the Open Pandora, download the binary package. Note this is not maintained by me, and may not be the latest version - you can also compile from source (same instructions as for Linux).
A full list of download files, including older versions, is at https://launchpad.net/erebus/+download.
If you are upgrading from a previous version, the new version should be compatible with old save game files, but for best results please start with a new game.
