RPG 20XX is a redesign of RPG Maker 20XX... Which was an upgrade replacement for RPG Maker 2003's engine. This newer engine will have nothing to do with the RPG Maker series of engines apart from the familiarity of the editor and engine features.

RPG 20XX should provide lots of advanced features yet remain faithful to the retro scale of RPG Maker 2003. It should not require actual writing of program scripts and instead provide a clever implementation of a click-together event scripting system similar to the older RPG Maker engines. Most notably the ability to re-adjust the battle calculations purely through event scripting.

Lots of common tedium and annoyances of RPG Maker 2003 should be eliminated. RPG 20XX will provide global battle events for all battles, a quest system, simplified character development, local save variables per event, and other simple conveniences.

All of this is currently licensed under the MIT license so you can check out the source code any time if you really wanted to. It will be a community project, free as in price and in freedom to create the RPGs in a fun familiar way like you always wished RPG Maker 2003 could do these days.

RPG 20XX Asset Starter Pack

First things first, I'll need to gather stock assets to create RPG 20XX's default asset pack. It's like an RTP except "Run Time Package (RTP)" doesn't make sense here since all required assets get built into .2xg files and players of your game won't have to go download it separately. I'm organizing what I had found before with what I can find off stock asset sites, but I think maybe the RPG creation kit that was born on RMN ought to have assets from the community.

If you have assets you're willing to contribute that have lots of "Generic RPG Energy", let me know. You'll need to license them under a creative commons license so we can all use them. Don't worry about formatting, I'll convert them, just make sure they're drawn to 16x16 pixel tile scale.

The resulting asset pack will have all of the sources cited even when attribution isn't a requirement, so be sure to let me know how you want to be credited and if there's links to something you want to include.

Anything simple and easy to map with but with an appealing retro generic RPG look is great. Here's an example I made using art I found elsewhere:

To late? probably not, it has been implemented by others through external code before.

We must have a new mod.
It's pretty easy to do seeing how it's drawing everything in 3D anyway to begin with. Well, getting it to look quite right will be the hard part.

Sorry tardis, but there's no facepalm in the world that can help you right now..

I trust the addition of scaling effects is something that is on the backburner for now. It doesn't seem too important to me at this point.
I had planned on having mode 7 from the beginning, so it'll be in someday before all the other crazy extras I can think of.

What game is that on the top left of the page you linked? It looked sorta like FF Tactics.
It feels weird to have a site talk about me in a language I don't understand.

hey, i know WC used my mockup as an example of something you *could* make in the engine, but since it's not actually made in the 20XX engine, would you remind replacing it with something else?

it's a mockup of a battle system i made that suddenly everyone wants to link everywhere. it's not actually a game at all, just a nice picture.
I'm going to attempt to notify them directly, and then I'll nuke the original photo for you. They also misunderstood- this isn't a patch.

good stuff, bro. (:
i wish it more accurately fit what it's being used for, but come on it's a pile of heinous badly-thrown-together rips and some transparent black boxes
I can't do it, it's a link to meridian dance you control. You can simply change and/or delete the original file.

I'm not sure if you were talking to me, tardis, but there's nothing I can do. I didn't feature this, I just found out by accident that the project was featured by another member.

@Wolfcoder: I don't mind translating the requests, in case you're interested (although there probably will be quite a lot of them).
I already sent it ala Google Translate, but I have the original English with it too. It'll sound really funny, but I'm sure they can understand it enough.

The image still shows for me on the 20xx blog post and on rpg-maker.fr. Maybe we should just have Kef disable hotlinking.

There seems to be a bit of confusion on their featured post, I hope someone can clear up soon that it is not a patch and is incompatible with pretty much everything Cherry has produced.......
