This is something I've been working on for a little while (also known as "since June 2011"), but I've finally started making real headway on it in the past month. This is an RPG engine made in Game Maker that's designed to be more flexible and more scalable than the other RPG engines I've seen. I might make a game with it, but even if I don't, I'll release it as an open source once it's done. Unlike most other GM engines, the source is thoroughly documented and should be relatively easy to modify. That's also why the graphics are a bit... scarce at the moment.

Here's what it can do!



Important stuff I still need to add:



If you need more information, start the game and press F1 to view the help screen.

I've been very busy with my classes, and I haven't done as much lately. Fortunately, however, this project isn't dead! Here's what's new:

The final version is here! Go check it out.

What's new since October?


The main thing left to fix is the game doesn't work if you uncheck the "Treat uninitialized variables as 0" box. I'd like to fix that if possible.

what do i need to make a compiled version of this? i don't think i have anything that can run game maker applications, but i want to see what this looks like.

I'm afraid I no longer have any sort of access to GM8, so in order to check this out I'd need to do significant rewrites to it in Studio (fixing things related to uninitialized variables would be easy, but the text box screen_refresh thing is not really do-something-about-able).

I sent Fireball3k an EXE so he could play without having to open it in GM 8. If anyone else needs the EXE, just let me know.

Miles: This game may also work in ENIGMA - it's a good open-source GM alternative. I've fixed most of the uninitialized variables today, although there are still a couple left, and the screen_refresh thingy would be tough to do in Studio.

I just uploaded a new version that fixes all of the uninitialized variables. While I don't care for GM Studio's interface, this game will actually run in Studio now, other than a few small bugs that someone would need to fix if they wanted to finish porting it to Studio.
