Stumpy's Epic Adventure (Breakdown)

Justin

Hey everyone! Since I feel like I still haven't given Stumpy's Epic Adventure the attention that it deserves and never did a proper breakdown of it, I'll be doing so now! His adventure is full of teasers, Easter Eggs, and a look at RPG in a Box's past, present, and future!

The video is very personal as well. You'll get a glimpse at some things throughout my life that have been inspirations for RPG in a Box and the journey it has taken, as well as a nod to a few people here and there.

Here we go! Stumpy's Epic Adventure was recorded entirely within RPG in a Box! It shows the playthrough of a single game project and the ability to mix and match game styles and mechanics within one game.

Stumpy is ready to start! Are you? 🐿️

Stumpy's journey begins at home (?) in front of his computer. Though not much is currently known about Stumpy's computer, the Acorn 64, it seems to closely resemble the Commodore 64; intriguingly, it's somehow capable of running modern programs like RPG in a Box!

Next, Stumpy loads the PLATFORM101 tutorial program! While we're waiting for the next disk to be inserted, let's check out Episode 1 in its entirety!

In the Platforming 101 segment of Stumpy's Epic Adventure, he walks you through the basics of creating a simple platformer in RPG in a Box. It's a great place to start if you're interested in making one!

Now you know the basics of creating a platformer with RPG in a Box! Let's use Quick Play to test out our game!

Stumpy uses Quick Play to test out his platformer, but something's not quite right! 🤔

Moving platforms, ladders, conveyor belts, and more, all of which are supported in both grid-based and free movement! Plus, a nod to some platformers of the past! 🐊

I don't recall which was the very first since I started quite young, but Pitfall was one of the earlier video games I remember playing as a child. Simple and fun! 🐊

Montezuma's Revenge was one of my favorite games on the Commodore 64 growing up. You can catch a glimpse of it in the background here! 🧱 💀
