Ive heard lots of negativity about RPG in a Box, about Being limiting and Only for small games But those Claims are WRONG. RPG in a Box doesnt make you a perfect godlike game dev by opening it you still have to Learn how things work to make Things, You cant just say its "Limiting" because you didnt take time to learn how the Engine works. RPG in a Box is an Incredible tool for making games, Its not just made to learn how start making small games, Its made to be Easy to learn while still being able to make larger games. The only part of the Engine I would call Limited is the Movement but Movement was just added in Recent updates so its to be expected. I love this engine And think its great for making games for Beginners trying to start making games and For those Trying to make Bigger games, Its filled With Quality of life improvements to make making games as Easy as possible.

I've been using RPG In a Box for a few years now. And can say, that it is one of the best engines I have used. It's very simple to learn, yet can also be used to create complex games. It's very easy to pick up, and has an amazing community for if you need help! It's also very inspiring how much work is put into it, and am looking for 2.0!

I've been making games as a hobbyist for over 20 years, and recently was recommended to try RPG in a Box. I have to say, I love this. This was exactly what I was looking for. It's surprisingly easy to use and surprisingly versatile. It's something that could be fun for kids to play with, and fun for older adults like me to play with. Can you make a commercial game with it? Probably ... if it's for people who like quirky old-school games. What I love is the ability to literally draw the walls and floors with pixels, and create my own objects if I want to. I love that I don't have to make the art in another program and port it in, but can just simply use this. I love that it's not a base program with hundred of dlc art sets. I was looking for something simple and fun to use, and that's what it is. How much do I like it? I got this for free through another game store, and liked it so much, I came over to steam and bought it here just to give support to the dev.

My 12y old son has been making games with RPG In A Box for years now. And I finally bought a full version for myself to help him out and build some of my own games (I'm using it on a Linux PC). This tool is incredibly approachable and fun to use. The mix of visual code editor and syntax editor really takes the ease of use up a huge degree. It's so nice to see everything all in one place for building a game. We've made adventure games, tower defence games, resource gathering games and more. I'm currently trying to build a sim-city style game. Really a lot of flexibility. If I could mention one earnest suggestion - documentation is the weakest part of this tool. The Help content is very brief, doesn't give enough examples of actual code implementing the thing being documented, and the depth of the documentation just doesn't go far enough to keep us from having to constantly scour the Discord and Forum (the addition of the Forum was a huge help). A lot of the official docs are just incomplete ("WIP" appears 73 times in the documentation wiki as of the time of this review.) I really urge Justin, once the Godot 4 upgrade is complete... to dedicate a few sprints to just really filling out the documentation (with lots more example code) and continuing with more YouTube tutorials. I think this would help with new user uptake. Because I'm a programmer with almost 25 years of experience and this keeps being a roadblock for me - and I'm betting many new users won't have the experience to just intuit or dig deeper for answers. I have several fun ideas that are currently dead ends because I just can't get details on how certain things should work. If it sounds like I'm over emphasizing this - it's because I feel strongly that it's holding RPGIAB back. All in all though, I tell everyone about this tool. We entered the Global Game Jam this year and two of my kids made games with RPG In A Box in under a week. I think this is a fantastic tool- really fun and easy to learn!

I am very much a hobbyist game dev. I have tried many systems in the past and never got very far in development. This system really makes me feel like I can finally release a game and make my mark (likely small, but still MY mark) in the game dev world. It is very intuitive to get started and seems like it has the tools to make some more complex games. The in system voxel editor makes creating new assets easy and there are already a bunch of assets you can import to your project if you are artistically challenged (like me!). If you are a full time employed and just generally busy person like myself, this is a great system for you to finally commit to making something. Take the plunge, you won't regret it.
