openbounty: The Glory of Rome is now in open play-test beta
The Glory of Rome is now in open play-test beta on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android. It's a new game built on openbounty, an open-source reimplementation of King's Bounty (1990, New World Computing). You play a Roman general on an imperial commission, hunting Rome's enemies one bounty at a time across four provinces: raising legions, fighting turn-based battles, sailing between lands, and searching for the lost Aquila, in a mythic Rome where Jupiter's lightning is real. Links for every platform, and how to report bugs, are below.
Compared with the original, the game adds more troop types, mini-quests and puzzles, a reworked magic system, bug fixes, and features such as Goto (pick a tile on the map and the hero travels there). The engine and the game are open source under the MIT license, on GitHub.
Platforms:
- Web: play in the browser, no install needed
- Windows (64- and 32-bit), macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux (x86_64): GitHub Releases
- iPhone and iPad: TestFlight, tester signup
- Android: Google Play testing track, tester signup
Bug reports, gameplay problems and balance notes can be posted here or filed on GitHub Issues. Reports posted here are cross-posted to GitHub, so there's no need to file in both places.
