New in version 2.14

• Many of the combat skills have been classified as passive. These skills will now automatically activate when needed. Passive skills are Alchemy, Poisonous, Block, Mana Shield, Damage Energy, and Vicious.
• Sound system reverted to the old one. This should restore sound functionality and fix several crash problems.
• The game should no longer remain in memory after exiting.
• Fixed several savegame problems.
• Fixed several bugs in the fatigue system.
• Fixed a bug that was preventing maps from being saved and loaded properly.
• Fixed several bugs that were rendering parts of certain maps inaccessible.
• World drops are now properly balanced to the map they're on.
• Mercenaries and summoned creatures should no longer disappear when loading a game.
• Weapons merchants now sell at least one of each weapon type.
• The second tier of character unlocks works now.
• The game now includes a utility that will unpack the data files for the game ("MPQExtractor.exe")
• A bug that would cause some items to be unpurchasable has been fixed.
• Numerous changes and bug fixes.

Note: Version 2.14 will likely be the last version, as working with it is like wrestling a ten-headed hydra. It hangs the IDE half the time I run it which means half of my bugfixes magically revert themselves.

New in Version 2.13

• This version has been scoured from the annals of history because it was evil incarnate.

New in Version 2.12

• New installation program that fixes the "DMC2.OCX" and ActiveX errors. (Update: This is a big fat lie. Apparently you need to have "msvbvm60.dll" installed before DMC2.OCX will register properly. This file is included with the game, but apparently windows is retarded. A workaround for this is to install the game, then immediately install it again. I think. I'm going off of what people tell me, because the game always runs perfect on my machine...Okay, so that's a damned lie too. Sue me.)
• The crash bug in the Glade is fixed. You can now travel there without breaking the game.
• I found and crushed a bug in the conversation engine. Hopefully this means people who aren't me will be able to talk to the people in the starting town.
• You can now pick up the spear in the Dungeon of Wallows. Finally.

New in Version 2.11

• Savegames are less bork! Yay! Nothing else is fixed. Or changed. As far as I know.

New in Version 2.1

• Changed data format
• Fixed savegame and missing file problems
  
• Fixed occaisional overflow errors
  
• Fixed a major problem with bow damage (Bows were always doing base weapon damage with no bonuses from anything. Now they are comparable to other weapons.)
  
• Changed error whereby armor found was always complete crap (Now you'll get good stuff--incidentally, since the map generation algorithms changed, the maps are different as well)
  
• Jacked up item prices, and lowered percentage of gold gained from selling items (Because now you find better stuff lying around)
  
• Reduced Axe and Spear damage bonuses to 2.5% per point of strength or dexterity
  
• Changed level damage formula (again)
  
• Some graphical glitches were fixed
  
• A few minor balance tweaks
  
• Skill points beyond 10 in any given magic school now add a cumulative 10% effect bonus to spells from that school
  
• Monsters are harder to escape from, particularly when HP is low
  
• Monsters now inflict constant damage when the player is in their stomach, in addition to previous effects

New in Version 2.0

• More character customization options (Customizable appearance, character points to raise attributes with)
• Enhanced combat system (See in-game help)
• Combat fatigue and weight system for armor and weapons
• Special abilities for different weapon types
• Much more interesting spells and spell schools (Including enchantment spells)
• More variation between character classes
• More monsters, weapons, armor, and other assorted bijdang
• Slightly less broken stuff
• Stupariffically improved graphics engine
• Remappable keys and game speed controls
• Huge amounts of liberal propaganda (Er, wait...)
• New quests (Or at least one that I can think of)
• Probably a bunch of other stuff that I've forgotten since it's been so long since I've looked at the origional
• Replaced the cheat system so it isn't so obnoxious to use
  

A bit about the game...

The black dragoness Thirsha has grown too bold.  She swoops from the sky and feeds upon the protectors of each town, weakening them all and allowing the unchallenged beasts of the wild to proliferate like never before.  Only one hope remains--a prophecy fortold by one of Thirsha's victims speaks of an egg that would birth a great hero, one worthy to challenge Thirsha and bring her buffet-style reign of terror to an end.  The people wait in fear for this hero, and if she is defeated they could all be doomed to a quick death in the belly of the great dragoness...
This great hero is you, obviously.  On your quest you will discover rare and powerful artifacts, enchanted gems and weapons of untold power.  None of which can stop you from becoming a meal for the beasts of the wild.  But so long as you are still not utterly digested, there is hope for success, a chance to find Thirsha and give her a taste of her own medicine.  And with each victory, you shall grow stronger.
 

• Fight your way through hordes of monsters!
• Fight your way through hordes of monsters' intestines!
• Have fascinating and in-depth philosophical discussions with complete strangers in unknown cities!
• Gather and create magical items to aid you in your quest!
• Horde ludicrous amounts of gold!
• Eventually become fat on a succubus's thighs!
• And even more drivel like that!

Monsters

The beasts that fill your homeland are many and varied, but all share one thing in common--a voracious appetite.  From the cruel harpies who swoop down from the skies mouth-first to the titanic giant worms who's stomachs dwarf their own bodies, everything you come across has the potential to end your quest in a decidedly thorough fashion.  They each have their own subtle strengths and weaknesses, but none of them will find any trouble in fitting a girl like you inside their bodies.
 
 

Weapons

You are not entirely helpless against the monsters that would make a quick meal out of you.  Bows, maces, axes, knives, swords and many other weapons are at your disposal in your attempts to destroy Thirsha.  With the proper weaponry, the beasts will find you a hard meal to keep down indeed.  You can learn to master particular weapons, becoming deadly when wielding other weapons of that same type.  But you never know when you might find something better--or when your magical spear may suddenly dissolve in the belly of a giant crocodile.
 

Armor and Clothing

You can further protect yourself from the depradations of monsters by choosing the proper attire--cloth bras and armor plates both do their part in turning aside claws and, in more unfortunate circumstances, absorbing digestive juices.  You will always be limited to what you can afford, but as far as dressing goes, the more you're wearing, the better.  One  rather expensive drawback to clothing is that it isn't any harder to digest than you are--if you make it a habit of letting the beasts get the better of you, you could be making many trips back to town to replace your smelly and corroded clothing.  There are over 60 individual pieces of clothing and armor that you can combine to provide protection for your otherwise soft and digestible skin.
 

Gems and Runes

Greater still are the powers you can imbue in your items once you have found the precious gems that lie scattered around the land.  Inserting these beautiful stones into your weapons and armor gives them magical properties, which in turn increase your power so long as you are wearing them.  Beware adding too many stones into any one item, however--too many and the effects of new stones will be lost.
 

Locations

The lands you will travel include swamps, mountains, and even vast deserts.  Each is home to a different variety of beast--the snakes and their carnivorous reptillian ilk revel in the fetid muck of the bogs, whereas the firey volcanic regions house succubi and other cruel and hungry creatures of darkness.  But each area houses it's own unique treasures, and riches abound for those brave enough to risk exploring the monsters' own hunting grounds.
 

Character Classes

Perhaps even more important than your equipment are your personal abilities.  You will have to choose which path to take--whether you be a powerful sorceress, a dangerous amazon or an enigmatic enchantress.  Each will have their own abilities, but each will have to learn to grow beyond their own limitations if they are to survive.  Some say that even more enigmatic paths are available--if this is true, youwill have to discover them on your own...

Still not convinced?  Take a gander at these ultra-sexy-even-if-horribly-outdated screenshots:

Note that the fonts and window colors will look slightly different on your machine, unless your windows settings are as oddball as mine...
Note also that the new 2.0 looks a bit different than this now. Hell, these screenshots were outdated as of the official 1.0 release. But I'm too lazy to update the screenshots. I'm still not getting paid, you know. On the plus side, most stuff looks better, so.
 

"...So PLEASE don't say I'm going to have to pay for it now."

Well...if you insist.
Duamutef's Glorious Vore RPG is 100% homegrown freeware.  (Down with the man!  Or something.)  I might try to do something selfish with the expansion pack, but the origional is free for all intents and purposes--you can download it and not even feel guilty.

E-mail me here with any comments, compliments, complaints, conversation or whatever else you feel like.  I like getting mail.  If you don't do anything else regarding this game, at least e-mail me and say hi.  I get so lonely.

"I DOWNLOADED IT AND IT'S ALL SCREWED.  YOU SUCK."

This thing is officially seven years old now. I need to get on with my life! As such, I'm not really releasing new versions.

Known Issues

This is the stuff that's bork that I know of:

1. Graphic glitches (grey bits, lines, etc.) This is pure laziness on my part
2. Some weapons aren't showing up (I noticed this one on my own)
3. The graphics sUx0r in 16-bit color mode. (I might fix this someday, but it's damn complicated to do.)
