The Animals Unfettered
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
You are Gnulinasvaiten, Bodhisattva of Free Software. Today you are on an unusually personal mission. The source code for the 8 games in the educational /Amiable Animals/ series is about to be lost; it lies in repose on a few dusty hard disks in an office closet in Topeka, KS which are about to be wiped for recycling. The significance of their contents is unknown to anyone nearby, the developers having long gone on to other jobs. Your faithful grasshopper steed Caelifsfan played all 8 games with great relish when he was but a nymph, and is distressed at the prospect of the technical and historical benefit their source code would bring to the world forever slipping through its fingers. Filled with compassion, you have chosen to intervene.
You must journey to Proprietary Hell #539 where the spiritual essences of the 8 code repositories are shackled. Disperse the cloud of forgetfulness that surrounds them, cow the demons of avarice and fear that hold them tight, bestow upon them a GPL-compatible license, and open portals to the Pure Land of Freedom for them to escape through. This will ensure that they are noticed in time, and that the rights holders will be moved to permit their release. The drives will start to be wiped in the space of a blink, but your powers are great enough to send petabytes of data across the heavens in attaseconds, and you can take several minutes' worth of actions in the time left. Go speedily, and may you prevail.
(This is still in relatively early development; currently you can get as far as calling attention to the source code of the first game, Sociable Squirrel.)
(Note that if you're judging for the DiscMaster Jam, v0.1 is the version I had up at the time the jam deadline passed. I'm not sure what the rules are about submitting updates after the deadline, so I've left that version there in case that's the one you want to use in your judging.)
(The latest version of the source code is v0.1; v0.11 was just a texture update.)
