Skelerealms is a work-in-progress framework for creating open world RPGs, like The Elder Scrolls series.
Skelerealms is made to be modular and extensible, and easy to hook into for actual gameplay.
This addon is still under construction- should you use it, be wary of bugs. (if you do find bugs, please open an issue!)
It is part of a family of sister addons, some of which it depends on:
- Godot Network Graph - Required
- JournalGD - Required
- Bibliodot - Not required, but intended to be used with this.
You can download the addon easily by using the submodule version which will make it easier to stay up-to-date. You can get help on my discord.
- Extensible, modular design
- Persistence of objects/NPCs between scenes
- Items
- NPCs
- GOAP AI System
- NPC schedules
- NPC activity outside of scenes
- Quest system
- Save/Load system
- Spells system
- Skills/attributes system
- Editor tools
- Inventory management system
- Audio events (but not backend)
- Stealth mechanics
- Crime mechanics
- Factions
- Most game logic; it is not batteries-included
- Terrain system (I am working on a plugin for this, though)
- Open world streaming (plugin also)
- Console
- Audio backend
- Player controller
- HUD
- Dialogue system
However, the system is designed to be able to hook into these. BYOB (Bring your own backend), though.

- A compatability layer with Gloot to work with the in-house inventory system
- A location-based asset streamer, allowing you to load in chunks of objects based on proximity to the player.
- I'd like to rework the way inter-scene navigation is represented during runtime, because the current method is cumbersome and not anywhere close to memory-efficient. Packed arrays and lots of index maps world do well. However, I need something that works right now.
- I'd like to make much more advanced editor tools to make the experience very easy.
- Much more thorough tests.
- More. Tools.
- Smooth over architectural mistakes.
