Devil Whiskey - The Bard's Tale Resurrected?

Posted by simoniker on from the also-see-horrible-gin dept.

Tony Bybell writes "For the old school RPGamers, the 1980s Bard's Tale style of role playing is being unofficially resurrected as Bard's Legacy: Devil Whiskey. Check out the FAQ: a Linux port will be available immediately and they'll be releasing the code under an Open Source license after 50,000 copies of the full game have been sold." There's also a new downloadable demo available in both Windows and Linux flavors.

    and they'll be releasing the code under an Open Source license after 50,000 copies of the full game have been sold.

    ...that means never, right?

      BTW, I don't mean to say this is or is going to be a bad game. I mean that 50k copies is quite a lot. Some mainstream game sold around this number of copies.
