There are a few ways to get in touch with us:

• Meet us on IRC: irc.freenode.net, channel #adonthell
• For general inquiries, write to one of our mailing lists.
• Should you need technical help, have a look at our support manager.
• And last but not least, there is a message board for user to user discussion.

If you are looking for a more neutral opinion on Adonthell you might find it here:

• This article on Kuro5hin briefly mentions Adonthell and Waste's Edge.
• Brave GNU World covered Adonthell in its 37th issue.
• There is an article about Adonthell at Linuxfrench.net (in French).
• Holarse features a review of Waste's Edge (in German).
• So does Linux Magasinet (in Norwegian).
• You can also find comments of users (or post your own!) at the Linux Game Tome and Freshmeat.

There are certainly more Projects related to Free Software, Linux and Roleplaying, but the following are among the most promising:

• Sigil is a pen & paper role playing game, played entirely over the web. It's the place to visit if you are looking for a real role playing experience.
• Exult is a game engine for running Ultima 7 on modern operating systems.
• Worldforge is a "Complete Gaming System for Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying".
• Falcon's Eye provides a nice graphical interface for the classic Nethack.
• Nevrax, a commercial Roleplaying Game with GPL'd source code.
• Dreamtides is still early in development, but looks very promising.
• Pingus is no RPG, but certainly worth a visit. No more messing with UAE to play a decent game of Lemmings.

For a much more complete list see the Sourceforge project map.

Without the fundamental work of other open source projects, the creation of Adonthell would not be possible:

• Savannah is a "central point for development, distribution and maintainance of Free Software. It allows contributors to easily join existing Free Software projects."
• The Simple DirectMedia Layer, SDL for short, a "cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide fast access to the graphics framebuffer and audio device."
• Ogg Vorbis, a "fully Open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for high quality audio."
• Python, an easy to learn, interpreted, object oriented programming language.
• GTK+, a "multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces, primarily designed for the X Window System."
• SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator), a "software development tool that connects programs written in C, C++, and Objective-C with a variety of [...] common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, Guile and MzScheme".
• Doxygen, a "documentation system for C++, Java, IDL (Corba, Microsoft and KDE-DCOP flavours) and C."
• Valgrind, an "open-source memory debugger for x86-GNU/Linux".
• Glade, a "free user interface builder for GTK+ and GNOME"

These sites provide valuable information on everything related to Game Development.

• The LGDC (Linux Game Development Center) is the first address for open source adepts.
• Gamasutra, the "Art & Science of Making Games".
