An RPG framework for Ren'py gaming engine (http://www.renpy.org/). The purpose of this framework is to provide a way of creating visual RPGs with little understanding of programming (easy API) and spend less time creating your own RPG systems.
- Includes built in battle system (supports up to 3 v 3 fights)
- Dynamic battle fields for strategic gameplay
- In-depth skills, character development, experience, levelling and fight mechianics
- Character creation / skill assignment screen included
- Open world design, travel to locations and villages
- Buy weapons and equipment in shops
- In-game time and calendar events included
- Create your own planned events, interactions with NPCs / PCs
- Team and teacher system
- Create political movements and micro management
- Fully customisable, customise everything mentioned above!
It is recomended to go through the Ren'py quick start: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/quickstart.html
- Download Ren'py from here: http://www.renpy.org/latest.html (Ren'py 6.15+)
- Download zip or clone this repo
- Create new Ren'py project
- Copy the contents of /core into the /game folder of your new project
For existing projects:
- Upgrade renpy to atleast 6.15
- Copy files in /core into /game folder of existing project (WARNING: This will overwrite screens.rpy)
- It is possible to customise all of the screens used in the framework.
The rpy files contain all the Python classes and functions for players, skills and basically all the hardwork done for creating an RPG.
Lets create our own RPG adventure and introduce many of the concepts in Raiser RPG System.
Open up script.rpy with a text editor. Remove everything from script.rpy and put the following inside:
### STATIC RESOURCES ###

$ w_kunai = Weapon(name='Kunai', price=50, range=3, chakra_cost=10, damage=30)
### SHOPS ###
$ hospital_shop = Shop(name="Hospital", items=[i_heal_paste, i_chakra_paste])

### CHARACTERS ###

### SKILLS ###
# melee skills

### STAGES ###
$ clearing = Stage('Clearing', 1, 1)
### MISSIONS ###
# TBC
return
# The game starts here.
label start:
call load_resources
# Lets unlock some locations
$ l_hospital.unlocked = True
$ l_apartment.unlocked = True
$ l_level_up.unlocked = True
$ l_training_ground.unlocked = True
$ l_town_mission.unlocked = True
# set main_player
$ current_session.main_player = hero
$ current_session.village = middle_town
$ show_village_map(middle_town, hero)
Save and Run the game!
Running the $ show_village_map(middle_town, hero) shows the player in middle town. Here you can visit different locations, do missions, train to increase your stats (click Show Stats button to see stats), visit your apartment etc, have a play around. This is showing the villagemap screen and is fully customisable in screens.rpy. Please visit the wiki for documentation, https://github.com/paktek123/raiser_rpg_framework/wiki for more.

I do not own any of the backgrounds and Sprites shipped with Raiser, the credit goes to the artists below. The art is from the following places:

Please credit the artists if you wish to use them.
Please report bugs by opening a new github issue, will do my best to respond.
Contributing is highly encouraged and Raiser comes with its own tests. This is currently in early stages at the moment, there are bound to be bugs and features missing. To contribute follow these steps:
- Fork this repo
- Make your changes
- TDD is highly encouraged, please add any tests for NON-GRAPHICAL CODE ONLY changes. Sorry we can't test screens or user interactions at the moment :(
- Make sure tests pass, you can run them when you start the game, go to 'Run Tests' instead of start game.
- Make pull request
- Pull request will be reviewed and merged
- Your name will added to the contributor list :)
There are future plans to provide more options such as equipment, armour and more customisations, it will be the community that will decide in the end. Plans are to add:
- Since all entities are python objects, static files such as YAML or JSON files can be used to define players, skills, events etc and loaded into memory, so you can completely avoid programming :)
- More 'gameplay' options similar to Fire Emblem, Megaman Battle Network in addition to the current setup, so this becomes the go to solution for all Ren'Py RPG needs.
- Easy to understand API which anyone can pick up is the main ethos here.
- More to come...
