Dreamthorn: Adventure in a new kind of RPG!

• Party with friends, strangers or beloved NPCs.
• Single-session fantasy adventures with big finales.
• Play to collect cards that shape future heroes and wild new campaigns.
• Top-down tactical combat with deliberate choices.
• Wild loot and deep crafting for highly emergent gameplay.
• High fantasy layered over cosmic horror.

Dreamthorn fuses deckbuilder creativity with our favorite RPG elements:

ARPG loot, MMO-style co-op (roles optional) and short roguelike campaigns with tight storytelling.

An ambitious project requires prudent planning!

Our key strategy is to implement a concise set of core systems with wide usability:

• A sturdy back-end server written in Rust that hosts the gameplay.
• A thin graphical client using Unreal Engine 5 that is fully driven by the server.
• Well planned game mechanics that integrate perfectly with each-other.
• Gameplay systems and tools designed with modding in mind.

Easy to use development tools will lower the bar of entry for modders and freelance content creators!
