DCR (Dead Creatures Rising) is a game-engine for round-based strategy games (like Fire Emblem).

DCR is designed as an easy-to-use and easy-to-modify engine. It's very easy to add own content like units, maps and scripted events.

I you want to help me (on graphics or on story-writing/scenario creating or map-editing), fell free to contact me or just leave a comment!
