3079 is an open-world futuristic action RPG inspired by previous roguelikes 3059 and 3069.
Description
3079 is a modern 3D game built on a roguelike foundation. It includes procedurally generated 3D terrain (similar to Minecraft), items, characters and quests. Unlike previous installments 3059 and 3069, 3079 has a more complete storyline and a definitive end. 3079 runs on the Java platform using jMonkeyEngine.

New versions are planned to add more characters and functionality. For example, in version 1.7, the game was made less blocky by dynamically generating sloped terrain. v2.0 now has fully functional multiplayer gaming support with Twitter integration. Construction was added in v2.5.3b. Music, dedicated servers, limb-specific damage & bullet trails was added in v2.7.9b. v2.8.13b fixed many multiplayer bugs, added new textures and better AI. v2.9.1b added Humoid and Neander bases. v2.10.3b adds a "work in progress" set of flying vehicles, performance improvements & server features. v2.11.10b brings buildable turrets, elevators, mini-ship improvements and lots of fixes. v2.12.12b added 3D weapons, a radar tool, new fonts & faces. v2.13.3b fixed many lingering bugs, giving 3079 a much more stable and reliable foundation.
3079 has been released on Desura and GamersGate, and made it to the top of the charts.
Story
The year is 3079. Many new planets are being discovered full of life. A recently discovered planet is stricken by constant war. You have been sent to this planet to find out why (and hopefully restore peace).
