# Lugaru HD
|
|
|
|
[](https://gitlab.com/osslugaru/lugaru/commits/master)
|
|
|
|
This repository holds the official development effort of the open source game
|
|
Lugaru (and in particular of its HD version) for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.
|
|
|
|
Developments from various forks have been integrated in the same code base in
|
|
an attempt to get a unified game to further develop (e.g. with new features,
|
|
new target platforms and new campaigns) and distribute.
|
|
|
|
This is the same game as the one distributed by Wolfire Games on
|
|
[Lugaru HD's website](http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru), though this repository
|
|
contains some further developments which are not (yet) featured in the
|
|
commercial version.

## The game
|
|
|
|
Lugaru (pronounced Loo-GAH-roo) is a cross-platform third-person action game.
|
|
The main character, Turner, is an anthropomorphic rebel bunny rabbit with
|
|
impressive combat skills. In his quest to find those responsible for
|
|
slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the
|
|
corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby
|
|
den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his
|
|
fellow rabbits from slavery.
|
|
|
|
## History
|
|
|
|
Lugaru was originally developed by David Rosen of [Wolfire Games](http://www.wolfire.com)
|
|
and was [open sourced in 2010](http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Lugaru-goes-open-source).
|
|
It was made cross-platform with the help of [Ryan C. Gordon](http://icculus.org).
|
|
|
|
Various forks were made at that time, and the most interesting developments
|
|
were put back together under the OSS Lugaru organization, originally on
|
|
[Google Code](https://code.google.com/p/lugaru) and then on
|
|
[Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/osslugaru/lugaru).
|
|
|
|
This new repository on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/osslugaru/lugaru) is run
|
|
by the same team, and aims at revitalizing the development effort to clean
|
|
things up, ensuring the code base builds and runs fine on all supported
|
|
platforms, and easing the packaging of Lugaru in Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
Ideally, the updated code base could also be used to update the Lugaru HD
|
|
version sold by Wolfire Games once proven better than the current commercial
|
|
builds.
