Installation:
=============

See the INSTALL file for details.

Note that this package is designed to run along with the adonthell
game engine version 0.3.x. Therefore, you need it installed or you'll
be stuck at configure time. If you don't have it, download it from
http://adonthell.nongnu.org/download/.


Running Adonthell - Waste's Edge:
=================================

If the installation process is successfull, you're ready to play.
You can play by invoking 'adonthell-0.3 wastesedge' but there is a 
little shell script named 'adonthell-wastesedge' that will do the work 
for  you. See the PLAYING file for more detailed instructions.


Release Notes:
==============

The main purpose of this release is to ensure that Adonthell -
Waste's Edge can still be enjoyed on modern operating systems.
We also have taken the opportunity to make some small additions
to the game, such as an option screen and unlockable achievements,
but the core of the game remains unchanged.

Adonthell - Waste's Edge -, or v0.3 for short is no complete RPG.
As the v0.3 implies, the engine is far from being finished, although
it should be free of severe bugs.  Missing features include combat, 
items and magic.  But you can interact with NPC's and the game world, 
and the internals enable us to create a basic plot, so v0.3 is actually
playable!

You're greatly invited to report us bugs, problems, or anything you
think we should know. Any feedback is appreciated, so don't hesitate!
