Draconic (working title)
Rebuild Work-In-Progress | PC | Unreal Engine 4/5
A RPG inspired by the classic Final Fantasy games, and newer 2.5D and HD turn-based games. Discover your draconic ancestry, while slowly learning what happened to you family. Reclaim the Dragonarch Throne from those who stole it and become the Dracorex.
Features
Class System
Characters in Draconic fall into a number of classes, similar to that of classic tabletop role playing games. As characters level up, improve their stats and skills, or unlock new abilities to improve their effectiveness in combat. Having a good synergy is needed for later in the game as enemies become increasingly resilient and use better armor or magical defenses in combat. Build your party, form powerful alliances, conquer your fears and forge a new legacy in Draconic
Classes:
Dragon Knight
Priest
Gunslinger
Entertainer
Technomancer
Sorcerer
Mage
Thief
Turn Based Battle System
Draconic uses a turn-based battle system like the ones seen in other JRPB style games. Once a battle starts a player’s party is thrown into the battle, based on the stats of the party and monsters turn order is established behind the scenes. Characters have a variety of actions that can be taken including: Attacks, Magic, Item Usage, and Dragon Arts. During battles full 3D models are used for the party characters and mobs, these models will also reflect equipped items.
In this system there is also a basic AI setup that will prioritize what player characters are the greatest ‘threat’ and prioritize them. The AI is also given a move count based on the number of characters in the players party.
Random Encounters
In what are called ‘Danger Zones’ players will be rolling from random combat encounters. Each area that a player can enter is given a level or Challenge rating that will determine the amount and type of mobs that can be. Each area will also have a unique pool of mobs that inhabit the region, while bandits and goblins may appear anywhere, others will only appear near water. This system is also designed for players to always be challenged based on their current adventuring party and the level of the area.
Download
Below is a button that will link to a Google drive with a playable version of Draconic. The file is a zip and is roughly 10gb in size. As a note this is a very old build, from August 29, 2019. Currently I am working on remaking this project in Unreal Engine 5 as the original source files are mostly unusable. In this version all above features are implemented and working.
