OK, I guess I would be willing to at least try to take on this project. Hengband has been getting sporadic tweaks, but a release hasn't been made in what, 7 years? Its not quite abandoned but darn near so.
So, I need some advice. Do I need permission to fork a new variant? What is the best way to do this? Where should I host the project? (I was thinking code.google.com). Is anyone besides me interested in a fork of Hengband?
I also need ideas. What changes would you like to see? Go crazy here, but realize that my C coding skills are not that great, and I might not be *able* to give you what you want!
And I need a name. I was thinking of Chengband for Chris's Hengband, but that would be inappropriate if other people are going to help out. Ideas?
Finally, I don't want to change the style of the variant too much. Hengband is a hard variant. It should continue to be so. Things like a random speed system are here to stay. In fact, my motivation for making changes is that Hengband has a couple of loopholes that make the game too easy
