History

This project began as a simple curiosity back around March, 2011. When it began, it was little more than Jotaf's tutorial. Basically the player could walk around, kill rats, and loot potions. While @Star Wars will always have its roots planted in Jotaf's tutorial, the game has ballooned far beyond those simpler days. It now features a complete equipment system, saving & loading, special enemy properties, and, is of course, set in the Star Wars universe instead of a generic fantasy one.
