Fantasy RPG

Overview

A top-down 2D fantasy RPG built with Phaser.js — the first game shipped by Bob’s Software Factory.

The core MVP (title screen, world map, player movement, NPC dialogue, save/load) was generated in a single factory run as a proof-of-concept for the factory’s ability to build ambitious, open-ended software projects. Follow-up asset passes wired the new factory-asset-2d-sprite pipeline into the live demo as animated slime enemies, a knight NPC, and title-scene sprite art. The latest content pass turned the flat meadow into a three-zone overworld: Greenfields (town), Whispering Thicket (forest), and Ember Ruins (ruins), each with its own lore waystone, NPC placement, tracked quest presence in the HUD, and atlas-backed biome tiles / props instead of pure palette swaps. The current build is also playable on phones with an on-screen movement pad and Talk button.

Play It

Controls:

• WASD / Arrow keys — move the player
• E — interact with NPCs
• Touch pad + Talk button — mobile controls
• New Game / Continue — title screen options (saves via localStorage)

How It Was Built

The factory ran through its standard pipeline:

1. Scout — scoped the spec into a builder-ready seam
2. Greenfield scaffold — created a Vite + Phaser.js project structure
3. LLM builder — implemented all scenes (Boot, Title, World), player physics, NPC dialogue, and HUD
4. Tester — added test coverage for save/load and scene configuration
5. Verifier — confirmed the builder handoff was complete

Total factory time: ~45 minutes. Zero human code written.

Features

• Top-down tile-based world map with Arcade physics collision
• Animated player sprite (4-directional walk cycle, programmatically generated)
• NPC interaction: walk up + press E → dialogue box
• Title screen with New Game / Continue (localStorage persistence)
• Basic HUD: player name, HP bar, zone name, and multi-quest objective tracker
• Three linked overworld zones with atlas-backed meadow / forest / ruins surfaces and lore waystones
• Zone-aware lore NPC placement and tracked quest stages generated from the multi-zone lore pipeline
• Atlas-backed animated slime enemy that patrols and damages on contact
• Atlas-backed knight NPC with lore dialogue about the factory’s next phases
• Atlas-backed biome props: Greenfields banners, Whispering Thicket thorn trees, and Ember Ruins pillars
• Title-screen hero/slime sprite art loaded from the same atlas pipeline

What’s Next

Phase 2 expands the game with the factory’s content-generation pipelines:

• World / environment: turn the linked overworld into true map-to-map transitions, then add dungeon generators and deeper terrain rules
• Story elements: turn the tracked quest stages into real world-state changes, rewards, and non-NPC objective steps
• Asset quality: wire the remaining ui_2d chrome into HUD / dialogue surfaces and broaden the encounter roster
• Godot migration: once the godot-gds factory blueprint matures
