GODOT GAMEIN DEVELOPMENT

Forged

One couch. Four classes. Every run a rivalry.

A Windows-first, 1–4 player couch split-screen action RPG battle royale, built in Godot. Explore a procedural arena, fight monsters for equipment and XP, then face the other players as an optional storm closes in.

PROJECT BRIEF

At a glance.

The current focus is local couch play. Online multiplayer is a later direction; it is not a current public feature. The Windows build also uses WebView2 for its in-game web menus.

Engine: Godot 4.7 / GDScript
Platform: Windows 10 / 11
Players: 1–4 local players
Classes: Knight, Barbarian, Mage, Rogue
World: Seeded procedural arena
Status: In development

WHAT IT DOES

Built around
the actual experience.

Couch split-screen

A full-screen view for one player, a top/bottom split for two, and quadrants for three or four. Keyboard/mouse and per-device controller input are supported.

A run worth looting

Fight melee and caster monsters, gain XP, and collect equipment with rarity tiers and stat rolls. Compare gear, swap items, and open chests.

Build your playstyle

Four distinct classes, five equipped skill slots, melee and ranged weapons, mana, sprinting, and potions.

The arena pushes back

Explore a seeded procedural world with per-player maps and waypoints. The optional storm shrinks the playable space toward a final confrontation.

THE FLOW

01
Join
Choose a class and ready up in the local lobby.
02
Build
Explore, fight monsters, equip loot, and learn skills.
03
Face off
Survive encounters with other players and the optional closing storm.

INSIDE THE CODE / GDSCRIPT

A simulation step with a clear order.

The player simulation resolves attack timing, updates resources and skills, then moves the player and consumes authority intents. Hardware input is gathered separately, so game simulation reads intent rather than polling devices directly.

GOOD QUESTIONS

A few useful details.

Is Forged online multiplayer?

The current game is built around local split-screen play. Its architecture keeps online networking possible, but online play is not presented as an available feature.

Can the storm be turned off?

Yes. The host’s match rules can disable the storm while retaining phase-based monster escalation.

Where can I get a build?

Forged is in development. Contact the studio for current build availability; this site does not list a public release date.
