Dracula: Reign of Terror Remake

Dracula: Reign of Terror Remake is a remake of "Dracula: Reign of Terror" (a.k.a. Vlad Tepes Dracula) strategy game from 1997.

This game is in development, but not every actively.

I do not own any of the rights of the original game!

Take a peek of the current state of the game here.

Requirements

• node

QuickStart

npm install
npm run dev

A browser tab will open, click "Run in web browser".

Test

Currently only some unit-tests are available thought running npm run test.

All tests are automaticly ran at pr!

Debug

To use debug options add #/game?debug=<options> and replace <options> to the url and refresh the page. Example: #/game?debug=grid.

Several options can be combined with commas, e.g. #/game?debug=grid,health. They can also be toggled live from the in-game "Debug" menu.

Current debug options are:

• grid, shows the half-tile grid units move on
• health, always shows every unit's health bar
• unit-info, shows a tooltip with the stats of the hovered unit
• targets, draws a line from each unit to its attack target
• paths, draws each unit's planned move path
• tile-layers, lists the map's tile layers under the option in the "Debug" menu, each with a show/hide toggle (starting from the layer's visible flag in the .tmj, so hidden layers such as intact and ruined on the buildings map can be switched on). Display only: collision is unaffected

Scenarios

To select a scenario add #/game?scenario=<scenario> and replace <scenario> to the url and refresh the page.

Current scenario are:

• randomunits (default)
• pathfinding
• behaviortree

Pack

This section describes a gulp-based pipeline that packed raw/ into public/assets (npm run pack, gulpfile.js, TINIFY_KEY/TinyPNG). That pipeline no longer exists in this repo — it was removed by the Vite toolchain migration and never replaced, and there is no pack script or gulpfile.js today.

Going forward, assets/tiles/sprites are meant to be generated directly from the original game data in .cd/ rather than from raw/. raw/sprites/units is kept for now only as a reference while that .cd-based pipeline is built, and is expected to shrink/disappear once it does. See docs/ASSETS.md for the current audit and plan, and raw/README.md for the status of the old raw/-based pipeline.
