RPG in a Box
What RPG in a Box is
RPG in a Box is a paid voxel-based game engine and creative suite for making games and interactive experiences. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is designed for creators without programming or modeling knowledge. Its model editor builds voxel tiles, objects, and characters with frame-based animation, and it imports assets from MagicaVoxel, Qubicle, Blockbench, OBJ files, and sprites. The map editor supports grid-based or free movement and interactive NPCs and objects. Creators can use a visual node editor or the Lua-like Bauxite language, while the dialogue editor handles branching conversations with choices and condition checks. Projects can be exported as standalone Windows and MacOS games. A free demo is available through Epic Games, Steam, and itch.io, subject to project and export restrictions. Games may be sold or distributed without royalties, licensing, or fees, and creators own their games and assets.
