OpenRPG is a a demo showing how to create a 2D traditional RPG in Godot 4. It's currently a work-in-progress. If you want to help

The goal of this project is to provide the gamedev community with a demo that shows one solid way to create and structure the code for a 2D RPG in Godot 4. You can reuse the code in your own projects, and also learn from the project's codebase.

As we're teachers, our focus is on providing a learning resource that is both practical and educational. We're not trying to build a framework.

We're putting heavy emphasis on code that:

• Is updated to take advantage of what GDScript 4 has to offer.
• Is accessible to users with solid code foundations. It should be a good starting point and reference for those diving into an RPG project.
• Follows our GDScript guidelines.

Together, we're creating a codebase and tools to show you some good Godot practices to create:

• Turn-based games.
• A combat system.
• An inventory system.
• Character progression.
• Maps with transitions, dialogues, grid-based movement, and more.
• User interface with multiple menus.
