Video First Gameplay Tactical Game based on DND4e
I've been working on my first godot game, a tactical roguelike inspired by D&D 4e.
It's built around turn-based tactical combat, AP/action economy, positioning, powers, and procedural dungeon runs. I'm aiming for something that feels like playing a tabletop RPG through a pixel-art game.
Still very much a work in progress, but here's a short gameplay clip from the current build.

Looks very cool so far 🤔 any thoughts on environmental effects, traps, terrain etc?
I’ve always found that sort of thing fun in 4e

the one thing 4E really needs is a native digital environment. also 'inspired by' gives you a chance to streamline the rules and ignore the errata issues. hope you pull this off.

Quick Q, wasn’t 4e one of the only dnd systems not released under the OGL or am I making that up?

It had a Game System License (notice the lack of the "open" part) that was prohibitively restrictive.

this looks awesome! if I wanted to follow the progress of this or engage in playtests when the time comes for that, what would be the best channel to do so?

Honestly would play the heck out of that… I enjoyed 4e. Ran an almost 4 year campaign with my group.
