DCRPG: An Open Source RPG Engine for the Sega Dreamcast Console

The DCRPG project intends to create an RPG engine for the Sega Dreamcast gaming console. The project is initially focusing on the creation of a 2D RPG reminiscent of the original Final Fantasy games for NES.

Project Status

We are currently working on emulating the Final Fantasy I RPG engine in C. No Dreamcast-specific code has been written yet, although we expect this will begin soon (in the form of graphics.) A document describing the engine in very good detail is available from our CVS repository here. This will be our initial reference. Once we have the mechanics of the FF1 engine fairly well implemented, including graphics and possibly sound, we will focus on extending the engine to do much more interesting things.

#dcrpg IRC Channel

We've preliminarily set up a home on the OpenProjects Internet Relay Chat network. Just join #dcrpg on the irc.openprojects.net server if you'd like to chat about anything related to the project.
