I am working on a demo of an old school top down single player RPG, perhaps like Dragon Warrior. The source code is based upon some sample code contributed from Mozilla. I discovered this community and OpenGameArt.org recently and have begun to use it in my demo.
What I've done so far:
- Load maps from XML generated by the Tiled program.
- Scrolling / Walking Animation
- Four submaps
- Random encounters, zones of different monsters in a single map.
- A very basic battle system.
- Multiple enemies per encounter.
- 3 basic items
- 2 basic spells
- Main Menu: Item, Spell, Equip, Status
- First dungeon w/ treasure chests, boss monster
- First town w/ weapon, armor, & item shops
- 5 Swords, 4 Armors, 3 Helmets, 3 Shields.
- On screen gamepad for touch screen users
- Save & Load
Roadmap:
- Independently walking NPCs
- Multiple character party
- Battle Animations
- Music & Sound Effects

I'm posting here now to get some feedback and advice, and to see if there is anyone who would like to collaborate. I am particularly looking for help with art and story in order to make this into a real game. Also, please report bugs here, or by submitting an issue on github.
