RPG in a Box
Release v1.3.3 has Arrived!
Hey everyone! Another HUGE update for RPG in a Box is ALREADY here!
This release expands upon "The Workshop" and adds support for particle effects to the Steam Workshop, among many other things, like adding effects to maps in the Map Editor, sharing Steam screenshots, and guides on the Effect Editor and custom damage logic! Read below for more info about what's included, followed by the full release notes.
Particle effects can be used for things like flames, fountains, portals, rain, snow, status effects, sparks, dirt, and so much more! The possibilities are endless!
Share and Download Effects!
Share effects that you've created to the Steam Workshop for the community to use, and download effects published by others to use in your game!
Place Effects in the Map Editor!
Adding effects to your game just became even easier! You can now place them directly into a map by selecting an effect from the newly added assets tab on the right, then click anywhere within the map! They can be selected in Edit mode as with other entities - just click their pink cube and open the Entity Properties tab (or double-click), and you can adjust its position, rotation, and entity ID.
Learn How to Create Effects!
Check out the new documentation for the Effect Editor and learn more about how effects work, then play around and create your own! Or, start with a preset and go from there. The presets now include two new effects: sparks and dirt!

Customize Your Damage Logic!
It's easy to customize the damage logic for your game! The new documentation on damage logic explains how to do this, and it even includes a button to automatically generate a Bauxite script with the default damage logic. Tweak it as desired, or write your own logic from scratch!

Hi there! I find this engine SUPER interesting. I love voxels and the demo demonstrates that there are way more possibilties to this than just "standard" rpgs. However, I'm hesitant to but the product because of the lack of HTML5 export. Of course, GameMaker HTML5 export is a disaster, but it really doesn't matter because the Opera export can be uploaded basically anywhere. My question is, when can we expect this feature to be properly supported? I know it's in your roadmap. Thanks in advance!!
