After an endless development cycle, RuneSword v0.90 Gold Beta was released on February 6th, 2000 at 7:00 PM. Several months later on September 1st, 2000, RuneSword v1.0 was released. After a few patches (and one more available below), we had a pretty stable game packed with fun. Best of all it was absolutely free although we did encourage you to give some money to the charity of your choice. Some features:

• Turn-based, strategic combat
• Easy, pick-from-a-list scripting
• Object-based, enabling cut and paste components anywhere
• Supports all created material across adventures
• Enables creators to create unique races, spells, monsters, magic items
• Allows user-created graphics, music, and sound effects
• Automatic tome and map adventure generator from components
• Over 30 skills to choose from
