Kurt's Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan Thoughts

Long ago I went on a search for an old-school RPG to play. I happened across Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan. Loved it. Never really play the online aspect of it; but, the single-player brings me back every so often. Here's a simple site showcasing some of my utilities for it.

Furthermore, I'd love it if someone could pass me any source/documentation on file formats and such for Demise.


De/Encrypter and Item Editor
12.13.07

A courteous gentleman sent me an email asking about Braindead's Encryptor/Decryptor tool. I've had it available online for a long time; but, I realized that I've never linked it here. Download it (47K). I've also got the Item Editor with source code available. Download it (272K).


Ken Baker's Stuff
10.14.07

I had a reader send me a couple of utilities, a batch file save/restore system and an old version of ArchKey. When browsing the batch file it listed a website that is no more. So I used the WayBack Machine again and pulled up the 1.1 version of the batch file as well as one-hundred portraits.

Unfortunately, the second installation file is corrupt and will damage portrait forty; but, I was able to open it in PaintShop and resave it. Also, the installation program for the save/batch file wouldn't install for me so I used Universal Extractor to rip out the files.

So, you can browse the original site for the installation files or download my clean zip files. I consider the batch file (5.1K) just a slice of history; but, the portraits (5.9M) are cleanly done.

Some File Formats
09-20-07 - updated 10.11.07

Here's some information about the various Demise file formats that were originally available in the Editing and Development forum of Archi's DTR Dojo. It was pulled around February 5th of 2007 due to inactivity as you can see from this post. Much thanks to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine for providing the original text.

Here's the stickies from DTR Dojo that showcases the file formats for Necromis.

Character Renamer
09.03.07

So now you can rename any of your Demise characters. Pretty handy utility. Let me know if you've any problems. Since, I've been the only one to test it, I'd recommend backing up your DEMISECharacters.ded file until you're comfortable with the DCR utility. Download it (38K).

DCR (15K)


Companion Store Editor

This program will unencrypt, edit and reencrypt the file with nine of all companions of all alignments. Yep, that's it. No screenshot for it as it's DOS based. Download it (13K).
