Feb. 2025
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.

This is an amazing tool to help get beginners into game design. Very easy to use, and can allow you to make a variety of different types of games without even needing to write a line of code. I'm really excited for the future of this project and look forward to seeing the day it gets the recognition it deserves!

This is an excellent tool for making not only RPGs, but many other types of games as well. The tools are pretty simple to use once you learn how they work and are very versatile, allowing you to create pretty much anything you can think of as long as you have the know-how. Compared to RPG Maker, I'd say this tool is quite better in almost every aspect. One particular aspect I appreciate is that while RPG Maker makes you pay extra for a lot of basic features in the form of plugins (RPG Maker is already quite pricey, mind you), RPG in a Box has these features built in for no extra charge. Overall, while RPG Maker is a good tool, I would recommend RPG in a box much more for it's versatility, ease of use, and cost efficiency.
