Introduction
Current version: v3.4 (last updated 13th April 2006)
Status: Complete
Dark Disciples I is my first major programming project - a freeware computer roleplaying game. Dark Disciples was programmed using MS Visual C++ 4.0 and the MS Direct X 5.0 Software Development Kit.
If you are looking for a freeware game with copious statistics and an intricate, multifaceted, combat engine you won't find it here. Instead, I focused my energies on having lots of non-combat challenges to solve and interesting things to do within the game world. Dark Disciples therefore attempts to differentiate itself by being a more puzzle orientated CRPG and therefore filling a precieved gap in the CRPG 'market'.
