JADE (Java-based Ancient Domains Engine) is a next-generation roguelike by [[Thomas Biskup]] and the official successor to [[ADOM]]. JADE is Java application, so it is very portable.  It is set in the same world as [[ADOM]], many years after the original game's events. The [http://www.ancientdomainsofmystery.com official JADE website and blog] chronicles the development and new features in JADE.
 
JADE is under development. Version 0.1.0 was released on 2 July 2011 at the [http://www.adom.de/jade/downloads/javawebstart/index.php3 www.ancientdomainsofmystery.com website], and screenshots, a video and some javadoc documentation are availiable on its [http://adom.de/jade/index.php homepage] and through the author's blog.
 
With the release of JADE 0.2.0 Thomas Biskup considers JADE to be a fully playable game (albeit a simple one compared to ADOM) and plans to achieve the level of detail loved and known from ADOM within nine months (targetting a JADE 1.0.0 release around his birthday in 2012).
 
The main features of JADE include
* a complex surface world with cities, dozens of dungeons, villages, and many surprises that are randomly generated for each game
* a far more detailed game engine (each monster is as complex as the player) than ADOM's
* multi-classing
* all the races from ADOM
* a detailed skill system
* a construction and processing system for changing the environment
* highly detailed items (including abstractions for materials, damage types, sizes, etc.)
