Realm of the Dominion

Hello!

My name is Chris and I am learning the Godot engine and GDScript from scratch. I've spent the last few years "developing"(mostly configuring, finding bugs and learning to read the Lua language) on various Fivem servers and learning to understand Lua scripting. I find GDScript the most pleasant comparison and am learning through various avenues the language and engine. I find the best way I'm going to succeed at this is by building a game.

I've always loved the idea of building a game of my own but never had the self confidence that I could pull it off. At some point it clicked for me during my Fivem development days that if I was able to understand how Lua was used to create modifications for these servers, I could probably learn other languages. That lead me down multiple roads finally landing me here attempting to build this game from the ground up.

Realm of the Dominion is a 2 Dimensional Top Down Action RPG game I am working on inspired by Morrowind

Current stage is: Very Early Prototype

I will be taking you along on my development journey as best I can here. I will be releasing new versions of the game starting from a simple player controller straight toward the end of development of the game to allow players to experience the different systems I am prototyping for game play from inventory to weather and seasonal systems to magic and crafting.

The story is very rough concept at the moment and so I will not be releasing that concept until I have a better idea of where I want to take the prototype.

The setting will be medieval era focused on reality with magic mixed in.

The tone of the game will be more serious, which is a little difficult to do given the art I'm working with, but I'll find a way 😆

The gameplay will be more or less entirely inspired by The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It was a grand experience for me growing up, being the first legitimate RPG I really dove into and I'd like to try and create that experience for other gamers.

The game download is and will remain at $5 throughout most of development. There is the possibility it will increase depending on the level of depth I reach in this game, but it will remain at an indie developer price range.

Why would you spend money on this game?

Purchasing the game now will give you access to my latest development builds. This will mostly consist of the ability to try out mechanics as they are added without any story elements for the most part.

Purchasing now of course guarantees access to the complete game. I also intend to provide a steam version at launch that you will get access to as well when purchasing a key from here. Anyone who purchased a key before steam release will also get access to a steam key once it releases

Buying now is a show of support toward my development. I'm a simple man, seeing other people get excited about what I'm doing helps me stay excited about what I'm doing. I do game development as a side project to a full time job and family time, so I will do my best to provide weekly devlogs with a new game update alongside them, but I cant promise this every week as a guarantee, I'm darn sure gonna try though.

You will also get a fancy supporter role in my discord which may get more than bragging rights down the road if I can think of something worthwhile.

You can join my discord to keep up with any other updates I put out that might not reach here and discuss the game and ideas/suggestions with the community: https://discord.gg/dZRGdqfn9W

All of my art work is purchased from a megapack on itch.io from craftpix.net aka Free and Premium Game Assets (GUI, Sprite, Tilesets).
