'''Castle of the Winds''' ( | '''Castle of the Winds''' (CW) is a tile-based [[roguelike]] computer game for [[Windows]] 3.x. It was developed by [[SaadaSoft]] and published by [[Epic MegaGames]] in [[1989]]. The game is composed of two parts: A Question of Vengeance, released as shareware, and Lifthransir's Bane, sold commercially. A combined license for both parts was also sold. The game differs from most roguelikes in a number of ways. Its interface is mouse-dependent, but supports keyboard shortcuts. Castle of the Winds also allows the player to restore saved games after dying. | ||
In [[1998]], the game's author, Rick Saada, decided to distribute the entirety of Castle of the Winds free of charge, but did not release the source code publicly. In [[2007]], [[Leptoon]] began developing a [[MMO]][[RPG]] style remake of the original game using the source code given to them by Rick Saada. Development was halted in 2007 and resumed in [[2012]]. Development was again halted several months later, but has resumed as of January [[2014]]. | In [[1998]], the game's author, Rick Saada, decided to distribute the entirety of Castle of the Winds free of charge, but did not release the source code publicly.
