RPG in a Box, is an all in one voxel based RPG game engine built upon the Godot game engine. It was just released in early access on Humble Store, Itch.io and Steam. RPG in a Box contains all the tools you need to create your own RPG including voxel editing and animation tools, dialog creation tools, world editors and more.
Current features include:
Voxel Editor
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 from MagicaVoxel (.vox) or PNG sprites is also supported.
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.
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.
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
