Starfall Directive MVP

A browser-based top-down party RPG prototype inspired by the feel of BG3-style systems, rebuilt as an original sci-fi setting.

What is included

• Character creation with layered paper-doll preview
• Exploration and same-map turn-based combat
• Party of up to 5 by default, admin-expandable to 10
• Survival: hunger, thirst, fatigue, morale, toxicity
• Shared ship resources: fuel, supplies, rations, water
• Dialogue with skill checks, companion affinity, romance hooks
• Inventory with drag/drop, equipment, cargo, renaming stacks/containers
• Ship hub, sector travel, encounters, quests, crime/stealth hooks
• Admin/testing panel and save/load via localStorage
• JSON-driven content folders for expansion

Run locally

Because the game loads JSON with fetch, start a local server in this folder:

python -m http.server 8000

Then open: http://localhost:8000

Expand content mostly through JSON

• data/maps.json
• data/dialogue.json
• data/quests.json
• data/items.json
• data/companions.json
• data/encounters.json
• data/species.json
• data/classes.json

Asset hooks

The code is already written as if these folders will eventually contain real files:

• assets/audio/voice/
• assets/audio/sfx/
• assets/audio/music/
• assets/video/cinematics/
• assets/images/portraits/
• assets/images/sprites/
• assets/images/tiles/
• assets/images/ui/

You can swap in real files later without reorganizing the project.

Notes

This is a strong MVP foundation rather than a finished content-complete RPG. The systems are present, functional, and designed to grow.
