About
Drakan: Order of the Flame is a 1999 action-adventure game developed by Surreal Software and published by Psygnosis, following Rynn and the dragon Arokh. OpenDrakan is a GPL 3.0 project to reverse-engineer and recreate Surreal Software's Riot Engine, with the goal of running Drakan: Order of the Flame on modern GNU/Linux. It is at an early stage and cannot yet be used to play the game.
Getting started
Currently only useful for developers: run the odOsg executable in the game directory (next to Drakan.exe) to load the intro level, or pass a level file path. Until it is playable, the author recommends the AiO or Community patches for the original game.
History
In a 2022 update the author said the project was not dead despite a long pause, and that a full rewrite in Rust had begun.
Known limitations
- feature: The engine is still in an early stage; you cannot use this replacement to play the game yet.
Additional notes
- Tools
- Includes the srsced tool for extracting raw data from Drakan's SRSC files to help reverse-engineering.
