Release Neverwinter Nights

Clearly NWN can't be ported, but does anyone know of something like it that is Open Source?

Its a shame. NWN is a classic.

One of the closest things would be nethack. There is a nice linux graphical frontend called Falcons Eye, theres a newer fork called Vultures eye. Source code is availible, but sadly my 'skills' with computers don't extend to coding/porting.

Another option would be Castle of the winds, a classic windows game, but I am unsure about whether source code is availible, I have a feeling it isn't so probably a non-starter. Though the guy who wrote it has been giving it away for free for the last 5 years so may be willing to let people see. I sent an email asking if he would be willng.

EDIT - corrected fork name

NetHack is doable. I'm pretty sure the Castle of the Winds source code was never released, though.

You need When I saw the thread title I thought this was going to be all "NWN has a linux version so it must be able to be ported to the pandora." VERY relieved to see otherwise.

Close-ish? Models come from NWN. With some help....

@fischju

Yeah that looks pretty nice. graphics look shiney.

@Kisama

I believe you are right about castle of the winds, and it doesn't mention source code on site, but I contacted the writer to check.

NETHACK CLOSE TO NWN? AAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
CRPG's and roguelikes are entirely and incredibly distinct.
please never call them similar again

 

[fischju]

I've asked the daftcode guy if he wants to port his engine to the Pandora

 

[bakawhite]

Dunno about anything for NWN. but if anyone's interested in Rougelikes, POWDER has already been ported over to the GPX. Check that out.

 

[lobski]

I don't see how rougelike can be compared to D&D.

 

[Kisama]

I don't see how rougelike can be compared to D&D.

Roguelikes are based on D&D. Also, there's a module for NWN called Infinite Dungeons that creates random levels like roguelikes.

Pandora and the Wiz look like very cool hardware to work with, but I haven't even scratched the surface of the DS yet. Maybe in the future if time allows it.

Nevertheless, I'll be saving my pennies to get a Pandora in '09!

Rougelikes...

Roguelikes...

Rougelikes...

Funny that you use the red color to color the french red word

 

[iain.dalton]

Hmm; what about Egoboo? Supposed to be a 3D roguelike (and closer to it than NWN, from what I've heard about NWN).
