Anarch

the suckless, anticapitalist, public domain game, for everyone THIS IS SPECIAL

This isn't a 90s style retro shooter, this is a 90s shooter.

This game runs everywhere and adheres to extreme simplicity. It is so efficient, portable and hackable that not even Doom can match it. It has completely no dependencies and doesn't even use floating point in case your computer doesn't have it. It can fit into TODO (with assets included!) and runs with XXX RAM. No build system, library, internet connection or package manager is required for compilation.

This game is not just a mere entertainment, it is an art that categorically rejects capitalist technology.

IT'IS MORE THAN A GAME

This is not a mere game meant for killing time or low goals such as making profit, this is an art, a tool, a blueprint, a manifesto. Anarch can be used for entertainment, but also for education, research, media creation, as a benchmark, as a test, as an environment, as an engine, as a basis for something greater. Only your imagination is the limit. Nothing is hidden, everything is allowed and encouraged, no burdens are imposed.

NO ONE OWNS THIS

Not even I, the creator, own any part of this game. I have purposefully created everything myself from scratch, including the engine, graphics, sounds, music, even the font and palette, so that I could eventually give up all my rights and dedicate this game fully and completely to the public domain, to you, my dear fellow human being. No one shoud be allowed to own information and art.

I've done my best to ensure this is 100% free as in freedom sotware and culture, well understandable and documented. This isn't made for any profit. This is made out of love, for the greater good.

FAQ

Why?
Because I find it ridiculously depressing that in a world where we have millions of computer games there isn't a single serious one made purely for the benefit of everyone on the planet, without self-interest (liceses, ads, DRM, ...) being embedded somewhere underneath. It may be one of the saddest things about this so called "advanced" society.
So I can really do anything with this?
Legally yes, you are only limited by your morals. I believe written law is extremely bad and that no one should be allowed to own any information, so I purposfully abandon my legal ability to "defend" my work and try to make you use your moral sense instead, which you may have stopped using due to being told by the rules what is or isn't good. I ask you, without it being a legal condition, that start sharing your own work freely as I do, to spread this mentality. But only if you agree with me.
Who are you?
I am an anarcho-pacifist programmer. At day I am forced to be a cleaning slave at a factory, at night I contribute to society. You can read more about me at my website.
Is this a joke?
No.
Can I support you?
Yes, this isn't made for any profit, but if you decide you want to gift some food to a fellow human being, you can find my support info at my website.
I have a question about the code...
