RC 3 is out, and along translation updates and several bugfixes, we also did several minor improvements:

• You can now scroll the quest log with up/down arrow keys
• Several tweaks were done to prevent overlap between text and numbers
• More sound effects were added by pekpek
• A new soundtrack, which can be heard in Act 2 Factory, also by pekpek.

A total of 67 commits were done since 12 May 2019 (RC 2). We hope to provide the most stable experience possible, but if you identify a bug in the wild, don't forget to report! Don't let the bots get to you! FreedroidRPG Team

FreedroidRPG is an open source role playing game.

The game tells the story of a world destroyed by a conflict between robots and their human masters. Play as Tux in a quest to save the world from the murderous rebel bots who know no mercy. You get to choose which path you wish to follow, and freedom of choice is everywhere in the game.

FreedroidRPG features a real time combat system with melee and ranged weapons, fairly similar to the proprietary game Diablo. There is an innovative system of programs that can be run in order to take control of enemy robots, alter their behavior, or improve one's characteristics. You can use over 50 different kinds of items and fight countless enemies on your way to your destiny. An advanced dialog system provides story background and immersive role playing situations.

The game is complete, fully playable, and can provide about 12 hours of fun. While release 1.0 is stable, it is still being actively developed, and help is welcome in many areas. People having - or trying to acquire - programming, map editing, or writing skills will find FreedroidRPG to be an exciting, fast-moving project in which they can fully express their creativity.
