I just finished them :)

They might still need some polish for being accepted in Fedora
repositories, but they are finished.

I just played Waste's Edge after installing the 2 RPMs. It was very
cool, but a little shord ^_^

Anyway, it is still under development so I guess it is not surprising,
and it really has potential for building a great RPG like we knew on
SNES :)

Tell me if I understood correct, Waste's Edge is the game for this
release of Adonthell, using features already in the engine. When you
release a new version of Adonthell, there will be another game, that's
correct ?

You'll find the RPMs attached if you want to include them in the
download section of the site. I'll tell you on the advancing of the
inclusion in Fedora.

PS: how many people are working on Adonthell ?
