Hero 6 page at my website2006 MAD Engine Alpha Demo (in 2 Parts)
This demo boasts a very large game world to explore with a town and 2 villages containing many npcs to talk to (with a QFG4 full screen protrait style). There are many monsters to fight and even some jobs to do for the npcs.



2009 AGS Engine Alpha Demo (in 3 Parts)
This demo reflects the downsizing of the project with a smaller game world however it is much more polished and contains story and multiple quests to complete therefore making it much longer to play! In a way it almost feels like a sequel to the 2006 demo as places you could visit before are now dead, overgrown and haunted. The battles are better as well with new enemies and gang fights.

qptain Nemo: Ah didn't really think about licensing terms. I suppose since the intention is for others to maybe reuse the source code to either create their own QFG based game (the code should be useful for that), perhaps GPL is the best one.

Sorry to be nitpicky, but for any licensing terms to apply you would need to contact the original authors of all the relevant art and music and code, and get them to agree with those terms. Not that I expect anyone to make a fuss out of this, of course.

I'll say. Don't think there is any real quarrel with a few people recycling some of the material especially when the knowledge of who make or drew what is largely lost now. It is best to credit the Hero6 team generally.
