CRPGd

CRPGd is a software project that aims to provide a cross-platform, open-source engine for creating and playing classic role-playing games. The project's primary goal is to revive the spirit of early computer role-playing games, often referred to as CRPGs, by offering a flexible and extensible engine that allows developers to build games with similar mechanics and aesthetics.

The CRPGd engine is designed to be modular, enabling users to customize various aspects of the game experience, from graphical presentation to gameplay systems. It supports a wide range of game elements common to traditional CRPGs, including tile-based maps, turn-based combat, inventory management, and character progression. The project is developed with the intention of making game creation accessible to a broader audience, particularly those interested in the retro RPG genre.

While the engine is still under active development, it provides tools and a framework for building new games or porting existing ones. The open-source nature of CRPGd encourages community contribution, with developers and players alike able to participate in its improvement and expansion. The project seeks to foster a community around the creation and preservation of CRPG experiences.
