While our Enhanced RPG Kit is not a part of the Steam Autumn Sale (given that we only just recently released it) we wanted to take this time to say how happy we are to have received so many positive comments about this latest DLC Kit!

Speaking of which, we've also updated the Enhanced RPG Kit to address a few issues some of you ran into. You can see the full patch notes here.



We also recently unveiled our new feature requests vote box and are pleased to see people making fast use of it! We want to take this opportunity to remind those of you, who may not yet be aware of it, that we're currently taking feature requests from the community so we have a clear idea of what it is you want to see added next.

Make sure you also vote on features you really like to increase their priority!

Yes, at long last, we are ready to unveil our new Enhanced RPG Kit that features a fully functional Turn-Based Battle System!

First and foremost, check out the updated "New Game" window that will appear when creating a new project. We've separated all DLC Kits into their own list (to the right) and merged all the built-in projects and demo games in the list to the left.

We've also added a small blurb to remind our users that DLC Kits DO NOT restrict functionality - meaning you can freely create an MMORPG without the MMORPG Kit or create a 3D FPS without the 3D FPS / Survival Horror Kit!



Now let's get to the juicy stuff, the Enhanced RPG Kit itself!

While turn-based battles are an exciting part of this new DLC kit, it's not the only thing RPG fans will come to appreciate. We've overhauled a ton of built-in systems specifically for this kit including (but not limited to):



We've given the default user interface and player HUD an extensive make over in the Enhanced RPG Kit! Take a look:









The Enhanced RPG Kit also features a fancy new quest system that allows users to effortlessly setup all kinds of fun and interesting quests for players to embark on. There's even a quest menu where you can see all of your active and completed quests - now that's useful!





OK! We know this is what you're really here for! Yes, with the Enhanced RPG Kit you can create both Action-RPG battles and Turn-Based battles! While the tools to create a TBBS have existed for some time now, there's no denying that creating one can be rather tricky - so being able to simply pick apart and use a pre-built TBBS is far more convenient!









We've barely begun to scratch the surface with everything this kit has to offer. For the full list of features be sure to check out the Enhanced RPG Kit Store Page

It's that spooky time of year again! We've got some great Halloween discounts, a new version of 001 Game Creator and a brand new feature requests vote box!



From NOW until November 1st you can purchase 001 Game Creator for 60% off its usual price and all of our DLC Kits are 30% off as well.

At long last, we've finally released a brand new feature requests vote box that will allow our users to submit features they'd like to see added to 001 and that other users can vote on! This will help our team to better understand what it is our users want the most!

To request a new feature, simply go to Help > Feature Requests inside 001 Game Creator itself. You'll then be taken to a special page on our website where you'll be able to submit your idea. Once approved, your idea will then be visible for all to see and other users can then vote on the ideas they like the most!







We've also updated 001 Game Creator to the latest version (v1.020.007) which includes a handful of new small additions such as an opacity/alpha slider for the Map Parallax colour option, an "Enable/Disable Lighting" Actor event, and a "Change Display Name" Field event.

Additionally, we've added a new "Change FOV" Camera View Field event which should prove especially useful for those of you developing 3D games!

See the full list of changes on our website.



Now that our feature requests vote box is open, it's time to start submitting your ideas! Who knows, maybe your idea will be added to the next version of 001 Game Creator!

A new retro music pack, a new video tutorial and a new version of 001 Game Creator! We have a lot to share today, so let's waste no time and get straight into the juicy details!



First and foremost, we've launched a new Retro Fantasy DLC Music Pack that features 20 new fantastical music tracks for your listening pleasure.

While on the subject of resource packs, we want to take this opportunity to let our community know that if anybody is interested in producing graphics for a future asset pack then please get in contact with us through our contact form on our website.



The first video in our new video tutorial series is now available on our official YouTube channel! This new series will cover resource creation and our first video is specifically focussed on Sprites! Stay tuned for future video tutorials detailing other types of resources like Tile-Sets and Items!

For optimal viewing, we recommend watching this video tutorial on YouTube directly.



We've also updated 001 Game Creator to v1.020.006 with several reported bug fixes and a couple of new additions we'd like to highlight:

- Project Folder - We've added "Open Project Folder" and "Open Saved Games/Data Folder" options to the Tools menu for quick access to your project folders. We often see questions from users asking where their games are stored so this should make things a lot simpler than manually navigating to them.



- Disable Parallax Lighting - We've added a "Disable Lighting" parallax option to control whether a parallax background/foreground is affected by the sun's lighting.



- Resource Packs - We've added a "Downloadable Resource Packs" window to the editor to easily download and import resource packs to your 001 games - including the Free DLC Music Pack we released some time ago (that very few people have been using due to how awkward it was to manually import them).





See the complete list of changes here.



Thanks, as always, for your continued support. We're interested in hearing your feedback on our new Retro Fantasy Music Pack as well as our new Sprites Tutorial so please let us know what you think of them!
