RPG in a Box: Bring your stories and ideas to life!

Hi everyone! I'm Justin, a solo developer pursuing my dream of creating a fun, easy-to-use game creation tool for turning stories and ideas into games, regardless of skill level or age! While it's a rather different sort of experience than RPG Maker and has a more basic RPG feature set compared to it, at its core it's also a great tool for creative expression. Because of this I believe there may be a lot of interest from the RPG Maker community, even just as an avenue to create small side projects for fun. Games you create with it can be exported as standalone games, so they can be easily shared with others without them needing to own RPG in a Box. You are also free to sell your games with no strings attached!

My 1.0 release trailer below provides an overview of what RPG in a Box is all about. The trailer also includes a game showcase at the end to display some of the projects being created by the community and to give an idea of the variety of game styles you can make with the tool.



I've also included some helpful graphics below with info on the many ways RPG in a Box can be used, as well as a list of future goals for the tool now that it has reached v1.0. I'm excited to say that I've recently started working on free (non-grid) movement, which will open up even more possibilities for what you create. In addition to pursuing these goals, I am also continually expanding and improving the existing systems with regular updates. Please let know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them! Also, feel free to jump onto the official Discord and say hi! :)

A free demo version (with all functionality available, but limited to two small maps per project) is available for download on both Steam and itch.io.

Come be a part of the journey and help me shape the future of RPG in a Box! Thank you so much! :)

- Justin

Oh, that looks cute! Idk if I'd be comfortable paying full price for an early access software (early access games are already a big gamble in of itself) but I'll wishlist.


Thanks so much for the wishlist, I'm glad you like it! I forgot to mention, there's also a free demo version available on both Steam and itch.io for anyone who'd like to get a feel for what's currently possible. It includes all features that are available in the full version, with just some limitations on map size/count within a game project.

You can also check out my Trello board to follow along with its development and see what features are in progress, planned, etc.

Hey, I'm Justin, the creator of RPG in a Box! Thanks so much, Bluefeathr42, for your post about it! I stumbled across this thread and thought I'd post in case anyone had any questions about it that I could help answer. I've been putting together a community showcase every other month to help show the games that everyone is currently making and the diversity of what can be made with the engine. For anyone interested, here's a link to the January 2022 game showcase image:

There's a wide variety of projects currently in development, ranging from things like the cozy top-down RPG "Key Keeper" (of which Chapter 1 was released as part of the first official RPG in a Box game jam) to the sci-fi first-person shooter "UPGRADE" (of which a tech demo was released, also as part of the game jam).

I'll leave the Discord server invite here as well, in case anyone would like to jump on and say hello or ask any questions! :)
