Thoughts on RPG in a Box 1 and RPG in a Box 2

Justin

I've begun to realize just how much potential is still left in RPG in a Box 1, even with the 10+ years of work put into it, and I don't want it to just disappear once "RPG in a Box 2" arrives.

"RPG in a Box 2" is still coming, but more and more it's evolving into its own thing in my mind.

I now see "RPG in a Box 2" as a new incarnation that's even more fun and game-like. Far more than a port to Godot 4, a reskin, or rewrite of the same experience.

As already seen in "The Workshop", and hinted at in the teaser graphic of major 1.x releases, there's much more coming for RPG in a Box 1.

Not only are these major 1.x releases bringing huge and exciting new content and functionality beyond the original 1.x scope to it right now, they're also helping set the stage for whatever "RPG in a Box 2" turns out to be.

I hope to share more of my thoughts about this over the coming weeks. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported RPG in a Box in any way. ❤️

Hey Justin, what are your thoughts on sharing scripts in the steam workshop?

@Justin a few questions if i may?

if this is indeed the face your making rpg in a box 2 over then 2.0 is there gonna be away to import our projects over to it like u mentioned in the past?
if rpg in a box 2 is gonna be "standalone" for a lack of a better way of putting it will people have to buy it again? or well they get a upgrade to it so they will have both?
have you thought of ways of fixing issues that in the past you've said "I'm not going to fix this because that will be fixed in 2.0? since 2 is gonna be its own thing (for eg redoing my bug reports on things u said you/cant/wont look into? has this changed?
again if rpg in a box 2 is gonna be standalone dose this imply you will be continuing to update "both" engines at the same time?
is "2" gonna be an update requiring everyone to update to 2 when it comes or its own product/engine?

things i do like currently are these themed updates personaly id love them be a main stay since i can see a few themes come up like the following
RPG update
side scolling update
the animations update
the fps update
even noone gameplay themes like
the performance update
the network update
etc
i really like this since out of the gate before even reading whats changed u know whats its about like eg rpg inplys its updates are adding/improving things for the rpg game set up PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue this because this matches rpg in a box's personality!
