The 3.5e System Reference Document (SRD), as covered by the Open Game License v1.0a (OGL) provided by Wizards of the Coast, Inc., allows us to forge a game with a classic character system based on the most popular pen-and-paper role-playing system of all times. It is a familiar and easy to learn system that provides many opportunities for character building, offering different races and classes, dozens of feats and skills, as well as over a hundred magic spells for the player to train his characters in.

Our world is inhabited by many classic fantasy races, eight of which are playable characters in the game: the prolific humans, the sturdy dwarves, the graceful elves, the inventive gnomes, the savage half-orcs, the crafty halflings the talented half-elves and the Aasimar. Each race comes with its own distinct characteristics, ensuring that the choices you make during character creation matter throughout the game!
Along with the eight different races, the player can choose from eleven different classes for their characters, each offering a unique set of abilities and a distinct gameplay style:

With plenty of feats and skills to invest in and many special actions to perform in combat and outside of it, Dragonic Overlords opens many avenues for character development. Whether you are a powergamer who wants to optimize his characters or a roleplayer who wants to give his party a personal touch, you can create any type of character you want. In addition to the regular classes. I have implemented dual classing, you can design any type of character you like.
 

Dragonic Overlords offers a large world for the player to explore. Cities, villages, camps, dungeons, cave, many places both populated and abandoned await the curios adventurer. Our game engine allows for enormous dungeon maps filled with enemy encounters, devious traps and tricky puzzles that require all of the party’s abilities to overcome – and despite the large size of our maps, loading times are so fast you won’t even notice them!

Most of the world is totally interactive, most items, objects can be picked up or manipulated in some way or form.

In towns and villages, you will meet hundreds of NPCs to talk to and do quests for (all of the npc's are fully voiced). I have put a lot into the dialogue system, most npc's have a lot to say, partake in many quests and many times get hired for a job like fishing, hunting, mining, lumberjacking. There are many ways of making some coin than just killing monsters.
 

The world of Dragonic Overlords is massive, spanning multiple kingdoms and empires across five continents, and it is completely open for exploration, with no artificial limits to restrain the player in. Just like in games such as Ultima and Might and Magic, the player’s party can freely travel across the world map and discover new locations through exploration. But when it comes to exploration, not all areas are equal, your party may run into a a large group of monsters way beyond your level, when traveling in forests you may not see monsters as they may be hiding behind a tree. There is no hand holding in Dragonic Overlords, to me this brings back the old school feel I am looking for in an role playing game.

More than three years ago, I established Golden Goblin Interactive for the sole purpose of developing a complex party-based RPG that would resurrect those qualities found in the classics of the 80s and 90s. I am the soul (and only) developer of Dragonic Overlords, I have hired people to do some graphics and voice overs for the game, up until now not many people know about Dragonic Overlords. Last month I thought to myself "wow the game is almost complete." That's when I decided to start letting people know.
 

Golden Goblin Interactive is fully independent and not affiliated with any publisher or investor. 

I have been developing Dragonic Overlords for over 3 years now, and I love the computer role-playing games of the past. This passion is the guiding force behind Dragonic Overlords.

I have achieved quite a bit in the last three years: The game system, and all the required content tools are working. Most of the art assets have been created and implemented. I already have more than 500 items and 1,300 environment objects in the game, but I want to include so much more.
