Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this brief introduction to RPG in a Box! RPG in a Box, being a voxel-based game engine, might seem like a niche product on the surface, but it has many fun, creative applications and offers something for everyone, even if they have no interest in game development. While it is a game engine, at its heart RPG in a Box is all about the creator, the user, it's about empowering people to create, to tell stories, or just spend time making something for themselves. It's a blend of game and game engine. It's a creative suite of tools.

The voxel editor is fun and easy to use, almost like building with LEGO bricks. It's very accessible and easy to pick up. Animations are frame-based and are as simple to make as a flipbook. The map editor is tile-based, so it's like putting together a playset or building something in the Sims or Minecraft. It lends itself perfectly to content creation because it's all about making the creative process fun and satisfying. Builds are easy to make and share; assets, projects, and the games you export from RPG in a Box can all be freely shared, distributed, or sold by the creator.

The 1.0 release trailer provides a brief overview of what RPG in a Box offers. The community showcase, which is included at the end of the trailer and as a separate video below, displays just a few of the many games being created by the RPG in a Box community and demonstrates the wide range of possibilities!

"RPG in a Box is some kind of sorcery - it somehow convinced me to work ten hours on the weekend to make a wall set, lol. It was just as enjoyable as playing a game, but more satisfying."

"There are a lot of good things to say about this--in short, a really fun system of tools for building voxel-graphic games--but the most distinct is that the developer is unfailingly one of the friendliest, most helpful people on the internet."
