About the game

Anarch is a completely public domain, free software, suckless 90s-style anarcho-pacifist Doom-like libre FPS game. It was created by drummyfish, completely from scratch. The game's aim is to experiment with a different game development philosophy.

==About== Anarch is made for entertainment but also as a manifesto of certain philosophies and ideas, including suckless programming, extreme portability, anti-copyright, selflessness and anarcho-pacifism.

The game is a "pseudo 3D" first person shooter, like Doom, and consists of 10 levels. The graphics uses a 256 color palette and is a little simpler than that of Doom, having e.g. no textures on floor and ceiling, no vertex maps and using just 32x32 pixel images. The engine uses software rendering and 2D raycasting for rendering. There are multiple enemy types, weapons and items to pick up. Music is 8-bit and procedurally generated, utilizing so called bytebeat.
