HOME ! BROGUE ! FEATURE LIST
WHY THIS REALLY IS GONNA BE A LOT OF FUN!

BROGUE is gonna be a hell of a lot of fun, but don't just believe it because I say so. Believe it because VERSION ONE is gonna have all this stuff when we're done with it:

GAMEPLAY

• REAL-TIME FIRST PERSON: Hack and slash in real time; dodge slower monsters and test your skills against quicker and deadlier foes.
• HARDCORE MODE: Same as the original game: no reloading when you die, no distracting plot or character development, just eighty levels of random hacking goodness!
• TOURIST MODE: Similar to the original ROGUE, but post-mortem reloading is enabled, and unusual rooms, themed levels and boss-style major battles make regular appearances.
• ADVENTURE MODE: For those who have a hankering for something more, Adventure Mode puts our hero in the middle of an epic tale of bravery and derring-do -- or something like that.
• CHARACTER OPTIONS: For the gamer who likes to customize their game, character options allow a player to increase or ignore their strength, sneakiness and smarts as they gain power.

EYE/EAR CANDY

• HARDWARE ACCELERATION: 3D Acceleration through DirectX8, including Hardware T&L, real-time lighting effects, wild and funky particle effects, gorgeous textures and more.
• 3D SOUND: Pools gurgle, torches gutter, swords clang and Quaggoths... er, um, they -- well, it's not quite like a grunting noise. Anyway, you'll hear them around you as you try to sneak past -- and you'll know if they've seen you whether you're looking at them or not!

COMMUNITY

• ROOM / LEVEL / ADVENTURE CREATION: The ability to create new play areas for BROGUE is part of the package -- you'll be able to build everything from custom rooms to entire levels, and even multi-level adventures are possible with BROGUE's open-standard level format. Player-created levels will be available here, via the BROGUE level exchange.
• ONLINE HIGH-SCORE BOARD: Users will be able to save their highest scores to the echthros.com hi-score list, where the most elite Rogues will have their names atop the list of dungeon delvers for all the world to see.
• THE FUTURE: Yes, it's a tad premature, but we have every intention of taking all the features of VERSION ONE and packing them into VERSION TWO -- which is our planned MULTIPLAYER expansion. All the hack and slash fun of ROGUE in a first-person multiplayer setting!
