Hey, it's been a while since I posted here...
For those who aren't familiar, ADOM is a roguelike RPG, and was at point one of the most popular freeware games back in the 90s. Development ceased in 2002, and it's been in stasis for 10 years.
Well, last month, Thomas Biskup, ADOM's creator announced his plans to release a new version of ADOM, complete with sound, music, and a graphical tile set, as well as fixing all the bugs and finishing the game. Currently he's financing that through a Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign, which has raised ~$37,000 of the planned $48,000. It's an all-or-nothing campaign (meaning the money will be returned to the donors if the goal isn't met), and has 14 days remaining.
Anyway, TB's already released a new version of ADOM (which can be downloaded from http://www.ancardia.com/), and there are some cool videos as well as a demo of the new tileset. It's worth checking out.
