Shadows Rising is a customizable online role-playing game that can be accessed via the web.
Shadows Rising is a unique and highly customizable Web-based Role Playing Game that is perfect for those who want to create their own gaming experience. This RPG game engine is designed to allow users to install multiple game modules that will use the engine to create an RP game on their own site. The engine is focused on providing a highly configurable and extendable structure to support Role Playing games under various ruleset regimes.
This game engine keeps all game content and data stored externally in "Game Modules.". These Game Modules are adaptable XHTML and CSS templates files, as well as database-stored data, content and game items. This allows individual players to create custom Game Modules tailored for specific requirements, such as game types, locations, plots, NPCs, and timelines. This ability makes it possible to create a large variety of RPG games, which is supported by the game engine’s configuration options.
Furthermore, this game engine also features plug-ins that can extend both the functionality and support for more complex Game Modules. It is pre-packaged with the "Shadows Rising RPG Game" created by the game engine developers. The developers' primary objective was to make both game engine configuration and Game Module creation as easy as possible, including the ability to use alternative RPG rulesets that users may be more comfortable and familiar with.
Shadows Rising is written in the PHP language, with data stored and retrieved using either the MySQL or PostgreSQL Database Management Systems which use SQL (Simplified Query Language). Output conforms to the XHTML 1.0 Strict, XHTML 1.1, and CSS standards. Javascript is used on a limited basis.
In the latest release, there have been a few minor updates to version 0.0.5 to fix a handful of small issues and any corrupted files that may have been hosted by Sourceforge at the last release. Overall, Shadows Rising is an excellent game engine for those who are looking for an easily customizable and highly adaptable RPG experience.
