Hey guys,

Last week, I showed you my custom editor and some people suggested me to share it as a 3D RPG Maker. I have thought about it and I agree, I will make that stuff.

I will present the project in RM.net soon, as "RPG Paper Maker". It's the Paper Mario principle : a 3D universe with many 2D sprites and some simplified 3D objects.

Options easy to reach for beginners :

-Many actions similar to the classical RPG Makers
-A 3D map editor with 2D sprites that can be easily customized by 2D graphic designers, or ripped
-Simple 3D objects already available (with 2D textures editable)
-A graphic RTP pack to discover the engine
-A language manager : to allow the player to choose a language on the loading screen

Advanced options :

-For 3D pattern maker : you can export your own objects (.obj) in the engine. I will make a personal simplified 3D object editor, maybe.
-For programmers : scripts will be available and editable with a documentation

What is actually done ?

I have been working on the principal window where I can call my editor map according to the selected map :



And that's... all. I have a large part of the map editor done, but there still is many work to do.

TODO this week :

-Work on the event management (a new window open when called)
-Separate the first floors in 3 categories : normal floors, autotiles, and water (in order to simplify navigation)
-Fix some bugs on the map editor
-Present the project on the website

See you next week !! ;)
