About
Introduction
Project GoldScript is a game development project composed of two parts.
- A game logic and rendering engine called the GoldScript Engine
- An original RPG which will be made using this engine
Work is currently focused on the engine, specifically combat. However a small percentage of the game’s story and lore has also been completed.
The Engine
The origins of the engine’s name come from both the classic Goldbox series of Dungeons & Dragons computer role playing games by SSI, and the language the engine is written in – JavaScript.
Currently the development roadmap is largely focused on combat focused features.
The Game
The Setting
The Game takes place in a post apocalyptic fantasy world where humans who once dominated the planet have been forced underground due to The Ruin – a calamity which occurred centuries ago.
Having lost their culture, history and much of their population they begin anew in an inhospitable, dangerous and foreign place inhabited by a strange race of intelligent beings as well as all manner of beasts and deadly creatures.
Yet despite these harsh conditions, humans have survived. They have done well to forget the horrors that ultimately forced them to flee their homes.
But they can only run from their past for so long.
Recent events have made The Council anxious, hostilities with native scouting parties have increased, and there are rumours that the single water source that sustains the settlement of Agrath has begun to dry up.
The player will be called upon to investigate these matters and in doing so will be unknowingly thrust on a path to learn the true reason behind The Ruin, and of powerful forces both ancient and alien now vying for dominance over the planet which they once called home.
