Hello there, 'Band Family. :] I am bringing to you my Variant " ZMAngband ".
Although firstly released in april this year, and having presented it on subreddit /Angband, and also on RogueTemple's forums, never got it to present the Variant here.
ZMAngband, gets its name from Z(elazny) -by- M(achete) Angband. The marker for the version patch being 0.7H. It is a fork descended from ZAngband.
Please, read the 0.7H_readme.txt for all the journaled entries since the project started ^^ So you can have an exhaustive knowledge on where the progress, and the state of the Variant is right now.

The Variant's devlog is quite active, as I have been putting on updates on a regular basis since first non-very-public release. Next version is already being worked on, and will feature a lacquered polishment layer on the immersive atmosphere.
Thanks to all of Angband fanbase. Thanks specially to Maester Nick, Backwards Eric and GWarl for the priceless inspiration.

PS: due to a silly mistake on my side, last update was lacking the /src/, that have been solved, obviously, GPL2 runs supreme above us all.

ZMangband sounds like the tried to port Zangband to Mangbnd, I've had expected this to be MZangband otherwise.

Which version of Zangband? That's imported they are radically different

Hello! Zelazny -by- Machete (me) Angband, is the explanation of the Variant's name.
This Variant is forked from Blubaron's Z-Angband, which was a fork of MangoJuice's Z+Angband evolution/continuation of ZAngband 2.7.5. :] Thank you for commenting!
