5This repository holds the official development effort of the open source game
6Lugaru (and in particular of its HD version) for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.
7
8Developments from various forks have been integrated in the same code base in
9an attempt to get a unified game to further develop (e.g. with new features,
10new target platforms and new campaigns) and distribute.
11
12This is the same game as the one distributed by Wolfire Games on
13[Lugaru HD's website](http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru), though this repository
14contains some further developments which are not (yet) featured in the
15commercial version.

25## The game
26
27Lugaru (pronounced Loo-GAH-roo) is a cross-platform third-person action game.
28The main character, Turner, is an anthropomorphic rebel bunny rabbit with
29impressive combat skills. In his quest to find those responsible for
30slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the
31corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby
32den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his
33fellow rabbits from slavery.

35## History
36
37Lugaru was originally developed by David Rosen of [Wolfire Games](http://www.wolfire.com)
38and was [open sourced in 2010](http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Lugaru-goes-open-source).
39It was made cross-platform with the help of [Ryan C. Gordon](http://icculus.org).
40
41Various forks were made at that time, and the most interesting developments
42were put back together under the OSS Lugaru organization, originally on
43[Google Code](https://code.google.com/p/lugaru) and then on
44[Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/osslugaru/lugaru).
45
46This new repository on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/osslugaru/lugaru) is run
47by the same team, and aims at revitalizing the development effort to clean
48things up, ensuring the code base builds and runs fine on all supported
49platforms, and easing the packaging of Lugaru in Linux distributions.
50
51Ideally, the updated code base could also be used to update the Lugaru HD
52version sold by Wolfire Games once proven better than the current commercial
53builds.
