Lord Ironcrow shows up in person. He's drafting soldiers for his army by any means necessary. He is following the laws of the land, to the letter. For instance, anyone who currently owns their own home or has a job is ineligible for the draft. Lord Ironcrow's solution is simple, burn the homes and businesses. Pib boards in his master's home (Lord Ironcrow is not willing to confront a powerful wizard by buring his home), Pib is of draft age, and Pib does not have a job (he's, merely in-training for one). But were Pib to become an accredited wizard immediately, then he'd have a Job. His master sincerely wants to oblige him, and assigns him three tasks to prove his wizardness worthiness to the academy and himself. Its the standard practice, but Pip is taking it too early and its not being administered by the elder wizards. One would expect the master's tests to of course be self-serving, yet somehow still important to Pip's training. Time is running out before Lord Ironcrow can legally enforce Pib's drafting and the draft effort in the land must still be avoided in the meantime.***commune bonum paratus in amnia nunc est bibendum ceteris paribus ? ready to be the common good in the river now we must drink other things being equal ?

The creator advertises that gameplay is, "the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined ", and it has a "combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies". The difficulty of the game is determined by the development of a character's skills and the adeptness of the player's using them. The story is not linear. Originally only available as a download. Since 2008-01-14, all Eschalon CD packages have the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X versions. Released as Free-to-Play on its 10th year anniversary. Requires a 1.8 GHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, and a 3D card. (Note, the game runs fine on a 1.0GHz CPU. I suspect this is the Windows requirements) [Zerothis]

The most difficult part of the porting is case sensitivity in the filesystem rather than any coding part, Mac and Windows ignore case when accessing files while Linux doesn't, making files that open quite well on Win/Mac result in file not found in Linux. They're working to convert all the files and their names in scripts/code to match, so the issues will probably go away after a bit. [s]The Linux release may be a bit iffy still.[/s] (The thread shown in the source link has most of the stuff related to Linux port. Just scan for posts by Alec.) Update: Released as part of the 2010 Humble Indie Bundle after which Aquaria was also open-sourced. [Sanguine]

What does it add for the things it lacks? Optionally, it can be experienced in CRT mode. CRT mode is everything bad about playing on old style TVs. Fuzzy moire hexagonal screen pixels, color bleeding, curved screen distortion, invisible overscan and rounded off image corners, motion blur/phosphor burn, reflections on the CRT frame. Even rolling screen, RF interference, and static make an appearance. But it's nostalgic... I think this might well be the only Linux game that has "action safe" and "title safe" design (google it). CRT mode is also tunable to better match the old TV players used when they had no other choice. Personally, I found CRT mode to be worth 15 seconds of enjoyment, then I switched it off. But, that's just my personal preference. Turning off CRT mode does not result in 'modern' graphics. Without the CRT mode, this game is about gameplay only. It also ads some sort of quasi-bonus, playable dream segments. Same gameplay but confusing transdimensional level design and dialog I cannot make any sense of. The author admits that the dream segments are about something deeply personal. With that, I expect few would understand. This is OK, the dream segments don't require the player do do anything except progress through them and the author hasn't decided to leave the gaming industry or threaten to (like some others have after their deeply personal game designing when uninterpreted). All sorts of game mechanics make up the game. Double-jumping, wall clinging, wall jumping, invisible structures, switch-on platforms, etc... Each one needs to be earned. Each new ability opens more areas to explore and more places to discover when revisiting. And to make 100% completion, full expert use of each mechanic will be required. There are no map spoilers. The in-game mapping falls somewhere between Metroid and Super Metroid. There is no in-game map item to reveal areas you've missed. Get out your oldskol grid paper and start making checklists if you want to do a 100% completion of the game. Once again, this seems a deliberate feature to invoke nostalgia. Speedruns are also added to the mix. Complete with online leader boards. Finally, death is instant, likley frequet, but not costly. Everything kills the player without HP, shield, or mercy. The player cannot eliminate enemies at all, only earn better methods to avoid them. In contrast, pretty much every door is a retry point. In short, I you like(d) NES games, SWTG is for you. If you've never played NES games and are curious, SWTG is for you.

A classic Ultima style story by Tracy Hickman (no involvement by EA). 5 guaranteed episodes (there probably be more eventually) Online modes are "open", "friends", and interestingly, "solo". It seems one can experience the online world version populated only by AI players and opponents or with only a select group of friends (together or verses, it would seem). It seems to be shaping up to be a [s]direct competitor[/s] superior replacement to Ultima Online, period[s]by offering all the UO features plus many more[/s]. Also, I've been playing beta content and seeing some content that seems vaguely familiar.
