Also, for higher resolutions, filtered rendering to avoid jaggy edges would also be nice (because the pixelated and obviously scaled up characters clash really heavily with the resolution)

I'm sorry I don't understand this paragraph ! Are you talking about blur for huge sprites ? There actually is a filter to let the textures clear. For example, if I choose to play in my screen resolution and full-screen, this is perfectly clear !

anti-aliasing options would probably be a benefit here, but this looks pretty neat! if someone decides to make a game like Paper Mario with this, that's basically all I could want.

That's what I meant. Anti-aliasing lol. I didn't know it applied there.
I think higher resolutions need anti-aliasing to preserve the pixels of the sprites, otherwise it looks a bit messy. If you render it in a low resolution though, everything is already pixelated and jaggy and it becomes more natural so anti-aliasing is not necessary :D

But hey, screen filters would be awesome too! Like scanlines and such. To make the game look like it's being seen on a tube tv perhaps? haha

The sprites that stand up all tilt at the camera, it looks a little strange. You can just anchor their rotations to the ground and have them match the camera that ways. You don't have to worry about the camera tilt being straight at the ground- the sprites all get ruined no matter your billboard mode anyways.

The feature list is pretty vague, so I have questions.

Can you make a full 3D block tile map like a PS1 RPG or are you just limited to the one plane as you show in screenshots?

Does it have a functional event script editor and engine so people could quickly make RPGs without ever typing scripts?

I will make a simplified personal 3D object editor, maybe.

That's not a maybe. This is a vital feature for anyone doing this. It is easy enough to just have a 3D block tile engine that looks cool, but it must be equally easy for someone to make 3D blocks. As an example, I have full PS1 block tile engine technology with a lighting and shader model, but it would be entirely useless in RPG20XX until I create a very easy to use 3D block editor. Such a thing would take up a significant amount of development time, hence I won't be doing it until much later.

I haven't found anyone else who is doing this (and it looking well-polished) and while my own RPG engine is functional and free, I'm not going to be integrating my 3D PS1 block tile engine for a long time. What you have here has a much more polished presentation than I've seen, and you've got what looks like a flashy impressive demo game. You should spend great effort into a easy 3D block maker and you'll probably do well when you put your product to market (especially since you have eye-catching images. if they weren't I wouldn't be here).

And finally, is there a demo for us to try?

Are you talking about a heightmap ? Something like this ?

No. Block tile map. Like some of the PS1 RPGs. Final Fantasy Tactics, Breath of Fire III, Grandia. etc. I've got an example of what I mean here and here.

I tried this for a worldmap test and it was really painfull to map with it. I want to stay in a simple way.

Unrelated to what I meant, but you can easily turn fractal noise into world maps.

If you want a 2D world map generated from noise techniques like that one, just set thresholds for sea, land, and mountain tiles. Don't generate all the levels of the noise pyramid for a simple way to eliminate the noise that sometimes happens. It'll get you some really good world mappey looking maps.

For random biomes, you could try separate noise maps for conditions like rainfall, foliage, etc. and add logical comparison tests (when specific maps are between specifics levels at the same place) that could paint biomes over the world map for deserts, forests, etc.

Looks like this is working out good. Right on! I foresee success in a near futre.

Question question! What platforms will it support?

This will be first of all available on windows. Actually, I don't really know how it's working to adapt this. But I plan to support this at least on Linux !

And WINE is your best friend, when all else fails. :)

I am so hype for this~! I really hope that you finish it- I want to throw money at you for this. XD'

This looks really great there are so many cool things that could be done with this if I had not already drop a hefty amount of time into my RPG Maker Project I would drop it all as soon as this was officially released.
