Dyhra

A simple Tibia-like RPG

---

As players venture deeper into mysterious caves, forests and towering ruins of Dyhra, they’ll encounter a variety of increasingly challenging enemies. Navigating through dark passages that may lead to hidden treasures or deadly traps, each area is a test of skill, strategy, and sometimes sheer luck. With mythological creatures lurking everywhere, from sneaky goblins and trolls to fearsome hydras and dragons, every adventure is a chance to prove yourself

The world is unforgiving—dying means losing character progression, valuable items, and facing other harsh penalties, making each decision critical. Players must weigh risks carefully, balancing the desire for exploration against the looming threat of permanent loss

Compilation + Execution

install dependencies (first time) cargo install

cargo run --release

Map

Map files are created with a map editor such as Tiled, in which the capability to export as a JSON file is provided. Macroquad-tiled utilizes this JSON information to properly iterate a PNG tileset (easily made with a pixel art editor like Aseprite)
