Dungeon Master Java (DMJava) is a remake of the classic game Dungeon Master by FTL/Software Heaven. It is implemented entirely in Java, and is therefore able to run on any platform supporting [version 1.4] or higher with an installed runtime environment (JRE or SDK). The creator, [Berfield], is a software engineer at Apple and is currently working on iPod Games. Visit [home page] to download the game which comes with a challenging dungeon. Further information can be found at the excellent [Master Encyclopedia]. The Encyclopedia also provides links to further resources and modifications - the original source files are freely available.
The game engine mechanics are different and thus:
- An easy to use Editor is available, and many custom dungeons [1] [2] are available.
- Monsters are not "stuck" in groups: they are completely free to wander, sometimes occupying a square with other monsters and sometimes not.
- Monsters can chase you up and down stairs, unlike the original.
- Custom 'Events' are available, including cut scenes such as those in the Eye of the Beholder series.
- And much, much more!
