Kharne is a roguelike currently being developed by Dave Moore in Delphi. It is a rewrite of a decade-old roguelike, also called Kharne, by the same author.

The original Kharne (subtitled 'The Revelation') was a roguelike released in 2001 for the Windows platform, programmed using Delphi. Heavily graphical, it featured the David E. Gervais tileset, drag-n-drop inventory management, and gameplay based heavily upon AD&D. However, magic and many other features were never implemented, and the game was (despite an abortive rewrite using the then-newly-released DnD 3rd Edition rules) offically abandoned in 2002.

The new Kharne is effectively a completely new game and features traditional ASCII graphics (within a Windows framework), multiple dungeons, a SQL-lite database backend; many other new and enhanced features are in the works. It is planned to be released sometime in late 2009.
