CONGRATULATIONS TO BURNINGLAZERS FOR WINNING THE FIRST EVER JAM FOR HIS GAME "UPGRADE".

GRAND PRIZE: $50 GIFT CARD

RPG in a Box lets you easily create 3D grid-based, voxel-style RPGs and adventure games! As its name suggests, it will contain every tool necessary for turning your ideas into games, all packaged together "in a box". The software is designed with a beginner-friendly approach as to not require any programming or modelling knowledge while still providing a wide range of customization and openness. Created from the powerful Godot 3.1 Engine and Development software.

NO CODING REQUIRED TO MAKE A GAME

Voxel Editor: RPGIAB features one of the best and easiest voxel editors around for building characters, props and tiles for any game (and even game engine)! Build tiles, objects, and characters from 3D pixel blocks (i.e. voxels) and easily animate them with the editor's frame-based, stop-motion animation system. Importing and exporting from MagicaVoxel (.vox) and importing from Qubicle (.qb) is also supported. You can also import images into your 3D Editor and manipulate them from the voxel editor.

Map Editor: Create grid-based worlds with the tiles you've built, then bring them to life by adding interactive NPCs and objects using the editor's intuitive navigation and interaction system.

Visual Scripting: Set up and trigger in-game events with the visual, node-based script editor. Simply drag and drop the desired actions (no programming knowledge required), or manually code "quick scripts" using the custom, Lua-like scripting language.

Bauxite Scripting: Use the built in Lua-like scripting language 'Bauxite' to manually code your games or enhance your features.

Dialogue: Write conversations for your NPCs using a visual, flowchart approach similar to that of the script editor. Branching dialogue is supported via player choices and condition checking.

Camera System: Choose from three available camera types for your game: standard, first-person, and isometric. Stage dynamic cutscenes using the engine’s flexible camera scripting system.

UI Customization: Design one or more dialogue box themes and customize the appearance of many other interface elements such as the inventory, main menu, and credits roll.

Basic Items: Define basic items for the player to find in containers or earn through the completion of tasks. Attach scripts to trigger effects for potions and other consumable items.

Sound FX Generator: Generate fun, retro-style sound effects using the built-in tool based on Dr. Petter’s SFXR.

And MORE! Such as animations, built-in image editors, battle systems, properties and currency, etc... You can create full RPG games and even with some creativity other types of genre games(FPS, Adventure Games, etc).
