Flare (Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine) is a simple game engine
|
||
|
|
built to handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action
|
||
|
|
RPGs. Flare is not a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It
|
||
|
|
is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rather than building a very abstract, robust game engine, the goal of
|
||
|
|
this project is to build several real games and harvest an engine from
|
||
|
|
the common, reusable code. The first game, in progress, is a fantasy
|
||
|
|
dungeon crawl.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Flare uses simple file formats (INI style config files) for most of the
|
||
|
|
game data, allowing anyone to easily modify game contents. Open formats
|
||
|
|
are preferred (png, ogg). The game code is C++.
