Early Access is Here!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce that Early Access for RPG in a Box has started! To celebrate the launch, there will be a 10% discount for the first week. It's a bit overwhelming and hard to believe that I've finally made it to this point! There's still a long journey ahead, though, and I have a lot of cool and exciting things planned for the future! I'll be posting changelogs and development updates here, on Itch.io, and on my Discord server going forward. Thanks so much for your support! I look forward to working together with everyone and growing the community! :)

Early Access Pricing

Hello again! Just a quick heads up to let everyone know that the price of RPG in a Box will be increasing slightly to $24.99 (USD) once Steam Early Access starts later this month. The launch is tentatively planned for August 12th, and there will be a 10% discount for the first week.

Also, Steam keys can now be claimed for purchases made through itch.io! A friendly reminder that I will receive a larger portion of the purchase on itch.io, and it will therefore benefit the development of RPG in a Box more. I'm very happy and appreciative of your support regardless of where the purchase is made, though! :) Thanks so much!
