D Engine

It is suposed to be a single player RPG engine made with Godot

Inspired by Dungeon World and Ron Penton's MUD Game Programming, oldie but goodie.
It almost works, nothing to show for now.

Details

The world

Maps are divided in square cells of 1 Godot cubic units arranged side by side, floors are done by teleporting the character to a clossed off area of the map. The player moves by 1 cell at a time in 4 directions (north, east, south, and west).

The conflicts

Battles are random, with the possibility to adjust the encounter rate on the fly, in a real time with pause scheme. Participants have an armor that soaks damage, and are suscetible to 3 stat altering conditions: strength, defense, and cooldown, positive or negative, up to 3 stacks. The effect strength of each stack is defined by the amor +/- scaling.

The power

Characters have 3 stats: strength, dexterity, and constitution. Weapons can scale using strength and/or dexterity, while health grows with constitution.
Weapons define the attacks available, and each attack has a windup and a cooldown period.

This is loosely based on Dungeon World's rules, and can change over time.

DM secrets

To aid development, there are custom tools made in game to edit the game database.
This "database" is a simple file storage system, each game object has its properties serialized on an unique file, which is loaded at runtime. Nothing too fancy.

Note

It is going to work some day.
