ORK 4 RPG Framework

Website | Support | Documentation | Tutorials

Build the game you imagine

ORK Framework is a feature-rich gameplay framework for building RPGs and beyond. Build JRPGs, action RPGs, tactical RPGs, adventure games, or entirely unique gameplay experiences with little or no coding.

Prototype quickly, iterate faster, customize every system, and extend ORK whenever your project demands it.

Continuously developed and refined for over a decade, ORK is a stable, production-ready gameplay framework with years of real-world use and refinement.

Use individual systems independently or combine them into a complete gameplay framework—ORK adapts to your project, not the other way around.

Whether you're a solo developer or an experienced studio, ORK provides the tools to develop, iterate, and ship your game.

Build Gameplay

Create gameplay quickly without sacrificing flexibility.

Schematics

ORK's visual scripting system features over 900 nodes for creating gameplay without code. Build gameplay logic, cutscenes, quests, dialogues, battle animations, mini-games, or entirely new gameplay systems.

Because Schematics integrate throughout the framework, you can customize existing systems or build your own without modifying ORK itself.

Formulas

Create powerful calculations using ORK's node-based Formula system. Combine status values, variables, CSV data, and more to calculate damage, progression, hit chances, skill effects, or any other gameplay values.

Create Your RPG
