What is RPG in a Box?
RPG in a Box is a tool for easily creating 3D grid-based, voxel-style RPGs and adventure games—everything you will need for building and sharing your own game, all packaged together in a box, so to speak! This "box" will contain an assortment of editors (centered around a map editor and a voxel editor) that will allow you to make your game the way you want. I will be striving to make the software user-friendly so that no knowledge of programming, computer graphics, or modelling will be required, all while still maintaining as many customizable aspects as possible so that your game can be unique.
My Vision
This is a single-person project and I am extremely dedicated to seeing this through to becoming a fully-featured tool. At this point in time, I have some of the base functionality implemented, and I would like to gauge interest from the community and gather feedback and suggestions. Games created with RPG in a Box will always be free to distribute and sell - no strings attached. I would just ask that you send me a link so I can see what you have created with it! I appreciate your interest in RPG in a Box and thanks for visiting my page! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to know more.
Current Features:
- Voxel Editor for creating & animating characters, tiles, and objects
- Map Editor for building maps from your asset library
- Dialogue system for interacting with NPCs
- Basic scripting system
- Item inventory and containers
- Exporting of game to Windows, Linux, and Mac

i have been following this for some time , looks promising.
Thanks for your patience and for hanging in there all this time! :)
i see it and i love it, only i have one question: is free and if is not,what is its price?
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! :) Alpha Access is currently 20 USD on Itch.io, but there is also a free demo available: Zeromatrix.itch.io
This looks awesome keep it up! Will there be online support ? Not mmo but llike orpg 10-50 players?
Thanks so much! :) I don't have any plans for online support at the moment, but I will possibly be exploring some sort of cooperative play down the road after all of the other major features are implemented.
Hey, RPG in a Box Creator Ol_Smaug, this is exactly what am looking for! I have been searching always for a voxel RPG or adventure game creator! Am about to download and start using it; but, can you support 8-directional movement (maybe just optional)? I come from Game Maker: Studio, and am really still a newbie at coding; especially JavaScript and C#... So that is why am asking about that.
Hey there! Thanks for the interest, and I am glad you came across RPG in a Box. Currently the engine is built around grid-based movement and is confined to the 4 cardinal directions. In the future once the software is more complete it is something that I may reconsider as an option. Have fun creating! :)
I, see that in most media the movement is tile-based(like in final fantasy). We will have the option for a pixel-based movement(like in Zelda games)?
Hi pablociu - thanks for your interest. :) Unfortunately at this time I don't have any plans for free/pixel-based movement since the engine is being designed around tile-based movement. I won't completely rule it out though, so it's possibly something I could revisit in the long term based on how things go.
