  • Avernum is a series of computer-based role-playing games by Spiderweb Software available for Macintosh and Windows-based computers. The first three games in the series were remakes of the Exile series by Jeff Vogel, who owns the company. The fourth and fifth games, also by Vogel, were released in 2005 and 2007 respectively. These two latter games are entirely original and not a remake of any previous game. The original games used a two-dimensional grid-based graphical system, effectively displayed as an X-Y axis wherein each tile in the grid was filled by a base graphic and perhaps an item or character icon. Avernum has a 45-degree isometric display that appears more three-dimensional, allowing for more advanced terrain through the addition of a vertical axis. With the design overhaul came improvements to the graphical user interface and to the storyline as well. While primary plot devices remain relatively unchanged, many new encounters and side-quests were added. In-game art by Phil Foglio lends a more humorous feel to the game. Among notable encounters in the game are the Vahnatai, a race of highly magical and alien creatures who live in the deeper caves of Avernum. Avernum, like Exile before it, is demoware. The user can download the program, and play a significant part of the game without restrictions, until he or she advances to a certain point in the storyline. By paying a registration fee to the creator, the user gains access to the full game. (en)
  • Avernum est une série de jeux vidéo de rôle, développés et édités par Spiderweb Software. Les trois premiers jeux de la série et la version hors-série basée sur les scénarii, sont des remakes de la série Exile. Le quatrième opus de la série est entièrement nouveau. La série originale Exile était en 2 dimensions, et se basait sur un affichage en tiles. Chaque tile pouvait contenir une image de base, ainsi que divers sprites, tel un personnage ou des objets. La série Avernum repose sur un affichage isométrique orienté à 45°, incorporant 3 axes de déplacement (déplacements selon X et Y sur le terrain, déplacement selon Z lorsque l'on avance sur une montagne ou dans une fosse). En plus de la refonte totale du design d'Exile, Avernum arbore un environnement graphique (interface) amélioré ainsi que des modifications de l'histoire. Tandis que la trame principale d'Exile reste inchangée, plusieurs évènements aléatoires et quêtes secondaires ont été ajoutés. Avernum, tout comme Exile, est en partagiciel. Le joueur a accès à une vaste partie du jeu sans restrictions, jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne un certain point, à partir duquel il ne peut plus progresser. Seul l'achat du jeu complet permettra au joueur de poursuivre la partie jusqu'au bout. (fr)
