I simply ask this out of curiosity.
I've only recently "re-discovered" the series of games in this genre from the French game studio Ankama.....including Dofus, Waven, and Wakfu!
I first ran into this last one more than a decade ago, shortly after joining the 'Puppy' community. I was intrigued; downloaded the Ankama Launcher, and installed the game. In those days, it was a .deb package.....you ran the launcher, and it then downloaded and installed the game, with files scattered all over your system.
I messed around with it for a bit, then got side-tracked by other projects and never got back into it again. I'm astounded it's still going after all these years!
Nowadays, it comes as an AppImage, though installation is STILL a 'local' download/install. I thought they might have had a purely online version by now, but no; still the same routine. Not that I mind; with developing the Puppy-'portable' eco-system, I now know how to keep everything self-contained within a single directory.
I'm more into gaming these days, due to change of circumstances as the years have passed. I've actually started running the game proper now, which I never got as far as last time.
I have to say I'm quite enjoying it!
I've put together a quick demo of how this thing functions:-
I'm still a full-time carer.....but these days, some days I'm rushed off my feet, whereas other days I'm twiddling my thumbs for extended periods. So.....
(shrug...)
