                                 Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Human Head Studios licensed Epic Games' Unreal Tournament engine to create Rune
and made several enhancements to it, including a skeletal animation system, a 
new particle effects system, and an enhanced shadowing system. Although made 
using the Unreal Engine, Rune is a third-person perspective game without any 
shooting. The weapons used in the game include swords, axes, maces, and other 
medieval/fantasy melee weapons. Despite using an engine made for shooting, 
the interface lends itself well to a playing style consisting of running, jumping, 
and hacking at opponents.

An innovative feature of the game is that anything dropped by a dead opponent 
can be picked up and used. This extends to include body parts. Limbs can be swung 
as clubs, and grotesquely enough, heads can be carried and used as weapons. 
Although the game includes no ranged weapons, any weapon can be thrown. The 
handaxe is a commonly thrown weapon because of the range and speed with which it 
travels through the air.

Currently this release allows up to four player to go through the 
entire main PC campaign on various difficulty settings through an internet 
or LAN configuration, without needing to purchase Rune or Rune: Halls of Vahallah. 
Like all Federation releases this one has been upgraded to be both portable and 
thinner, while utilizing less active memory. Several scripts have additionally 
been added to prevent crashes and a critical network bug (Winsock Incrimination)
related to Vista incompatibility. It is also noteworthy that this release has had 
all its loading screens removed as they are deemed unnecessary.

This release is imminent. This project seeks to combine a Lite (less than 700m)
Vista build, bootscreen, frontend, registry tweaks, several related 
applications, twenty-plus emulators and tens of thousands of various game 
images and ROMS in an orderly package. This package would then allow a user 
to easily create a SF personal computer (or any other light PC) that would 
act as any console from the first to sixth generation. This has been a huge
undertaking but if it is successful this project will provide the PC scene with 
the first real replacement for consoles. Please understand that projects like 
this one can have unsuspected kinks. Please be patient.

As many of you know opencoop recently released a tech demo of their next project 
Quake 4 Co-op which allows you to traverse most of the levels, with large amounts 
of lag, glitches, and crashes. Once they have a clean version working, this 
mod will be released. Because we are waiting for them to finish their work there 
is no release date.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release was one of the most challenging video games we have ever sought to 
port to Vista, requiring large changes to vital engine packages and the learning 
of UnrealScript, a new programming language  (a cross between Java, C++, and the 
original developer's desires), but we did it. This release is one of the last of 
the "Third Wave", serving as a testament, not to our egos but to the validity of 
our creed:

                            [Scientia] [est] [Licentia]

(1.) False Positive - The users anti-virus client may detect this program as a 
Virus or Trojan. This false positive is caused by the binary wrapped scripts 
which are utilized as launchers for the game. As these files create hidden 
functionality they appear as threatening to the overzealous virus scanner eSafe.
Detailed scans have/will indicate that this release neither accesses key system 
files or the internet. There is no way for these files to harm your computer.
