Abura Tan was created by Michael Blackney in 2001. It was last updated in 2004.
Description
Abura Tan hoped to combine western, axis WWII, steampunk and apocalyptic themes, drawing inspiration from The Dark Tower, The King in Yellow and the fantasy works of Richard Brautigan.
Gameplay intended to be a palatable compromise of NetHack and ADOM.
One of uncommon features implemented is possibility to modify weapons by combining parts.
- Telescope increased range and accuracy. (sniper rifle, deadshot deringer, deadshot revolver),
- Sling lessened knockback (hip-shotgun, hip-carbine),
- Motor allows for rapid fire (autoshotgun, autopistol),
- Tesla coil installed causes schock damage (tesla-Dragoon),
- Energy projector increases damage potential (blaster rifle).
Firearms creation required player to combine casing with chamber plus maybe some accesory. Some examples:
- light pistol + breech chamber = deringer
- heavy pistol + magfeed chamber = luger
- shotgun + gatling chamber = peppercannon
- shotgun + magneto chamber = railgun
- light pistol + magneto chamber = gauss-pistol
It is not presently playable and is very much a work-in-progress.
