Inner Worlds (Inner Worlds: mondes intérieurs - une aventure épique dans un monde magique) Sleepless Software;GOTO (Sleepless Software)1996 adv-deeds adv-objects bizarrecreatures castle cdrom chiroptera clanguage comexecutable commercial cpplanguage cpu-486 customengine devsyslinux difficulty elfexecutable femaleprotagonist gamesaves giantinsects keyboard license-proprietary licensechange magic medieval monsters music-rock obscurerelease premadeprotagonist secrets sourcecodeescrow spiders therianthropeprotagonist tutorial x86 The protagonist is a female werewolf able to transform between human and wolf forms at will so long has enough mana has been collected. While this is an action side-view platformer game there are enough RPG elements to make this game mainly of the RPG genre. The main character can increase in ability as she progresses in the game. The game appears at first to have a linear design but exploration of the levels will reveal a complex map layout, some levels can be skipped, and completed or skipped levels can be relocated and played again. Certain areas are only accessible via one form or the other. The game has an inventory for various weapons, keys, scrolls, and potions. Normal weapons can be enchanted. Collecting amulets allows for increases in maximum mana or maximum health. Defeating certain enemies grants new abilities.

Was developed and compiled on Linux. It was cross compiled for DOS and Windows. The Linux version is actually hidden on the full version CD-ROMs of the Windows and DOS versions. It is also 299 files rather than a monolithic executable (like the DOS and Winders versions were)

The DOS version comes in a shareware package consisting of the 1st of 3 episodes. This is not the case with the Linux version and never was. The Linux version only exists (for the public) on the CD-ROMs of the DOS or Windows versions and includes all three episodes. While the full DOS version was made available for download from Sleepless, Inc's website, the Linux and Windows versions were not and are not. They are freely redistributable "whereever you can get it", as stated by Sleepless. As of 2017, it is available on the Internet as file iw12-linux.tgz. And at the Internet Archive.

The CD-ROM version is known to have been published in the USA and France. There are very likely other places and languages as well.

Inner Worlds was the first proprietary and commercial game developed on Linux. Also the first Linux that you could actually buy on store shelves despite the product being hidden on the disk. It was preceded by Doom which required downloading the Linux version after purchase. Succeeded by Civilization: Call to Power published by Loki Entertainment; the first Linux game on store shelves that was not packaged in a product for another operating system.

Unlike the text based multi-user-dungeons at that time, Tibia should have a graphical user-interface, thus giving players a better impression of the world they live in. Concrete plannings started in the Easter holidays 1996, and by January 7th, 1997, a permanent public server was ready to be launched. Since then, the game has continuously been developed further, and the number of players grew steadily. Now tens of thousands of players visit Tibia every day, thus making it one of Europe's largest online role-playing games.

Which Way is Up (whichwayisup) Hectigo2007 license-gpl pygame spiders ubuntu A platformer based on rotating the game world. No scrolling, but the camera rolls. Spiders stay stuck on any surface regardless of level rotation and they spit venom. Gameplay mainly consists of jumping, dodging spider venom, dodging the spiders themselves, and maneuvering into position while the world rotates.

Power to create is granted and revoked to users by other users. This is supposed to ensure no one gets to powerful. Characters are always online, even when players are not. Certain game rules are in place to protect the characters from off-line attacks but not to the point that these characters do not stop participating. Users can create minions to take care of jobs that might be classified as grinding. The developers same there is no grinding in the game (and if players grind anyhow, it is of no advantage). Advancement is gained through social interaction, not PvP. PvP is definitely allowed, but players killing players is disadvantageous. Players don't just create the forces of evil, they are the forces of evil if they so choose. Since players make the rules, slimes could seek to take over the world just as zombies, dragons, or a dark wizard might. Slimes, Molds, and Gelatonus cubes can theoretically become just as powerful as a 9-Headed Mithral-plated Crystaline-Gold Phase Dragon Lich King. Each game server begins with a randomly generated world suitable to be shaped, molded, modified, populated, and ruled by the players that enter it. Simple world building, moving trees, placing monsters, is done simply. Access to the game is a one-time payment, no subscriptions, no payment for additional content, no pay-to-win marketplace. A gains in the game use in-game currency (called influence) earned though social interaction. Players with more skills will write scripts and make the animations. These are offered in an in-game marketplace where less skilled players can buy them and perhaps modify them. Art is likewise offered. labelminimizesubject
