About the game engine
I started with the clean latest vbGORE, searched through the entire forums and applied every bug fix found, and in addition to these fixes, i found many bugs myself and fixed.
I have also found ways to optimize the code, and improve many of the components.  for example, the default DirectSound player was capable of only playing one instance per sound effect at a time, i increase the capability to be able to support an unlimited amount of instances of each sound effect to play concurrently.  I have met the developers the other vbGORE games, who were all able to show me bugs/fixes not on the forums and also showed me other problems and how to improve them.

In addition to the default features of vbgore, I have added many new ones

Including paperdoll gear for weapon/armor/helmet/shield
the sprites are drawn as only 1 frame, but they are flipped when they turn while moving, and have strafing capabilities

items
Items can come with "built-in" properties, so every Silver Sword will have the same "built-in" property

These items can also have "special properties", which are like enchantments that can be added to equipment

Each equipment slot has its own set of "special properties"

For example…

Special properties of...
Armor
* +1 regen MP (Can be repeated one time)
* +1 regen HP (Can be repeated one time)
* +5 Protection (Can be repeated one time)
* +2% Chance to reflect damage

on the other hand..

Special properties of…
Melee Weapons
* +1 Skill Point
* +10% Ferocious Hit
* +10% Attack Speed
* +10% Damage
* 20% Stupify Enemy
* Steal 10% MP
* Steal 10% HP

Items can also have "super" versions, for example there can be 3 different items both named "Magic Sword", but they all come with different "built in" properties
this screenshot shows 4 swords, but just one is enchanted with "special properties.
