What platforms does RPGWizard support?
At the moment the RPGWizard editor officially supports:
- Windows Desktops
- Linux Desktops
It may be possible to run it on OSX with Java 8+ using the Linux distribution, but this has yet to be tested.
The game engine can be run inside any modern desktop or mobile browser, with the best support for Chrome/Chromium like browsers.
Can I make a game without programming?
Not really, at least not anything original. While some things can be achieved without programming your game will likely feel like a copy & paste experience. Fortunately programming in RPGWizard isn’t all that hard, and there are plenty of examples!
What programming language does RPGWizard use?
JavaScript is the scripting language you’ll use to write your game logic, the RPGWizard engine is built upon a recent version of Chromium that supports the latest ES6 Standard.
Can I make a MMORPG/Online RPG?
Yes, however you would need to be already very confident with programming and networking, as RPGWizard doesn’t provide a multiplayer server, so you’ll either need to write your own or use something like Colyseus. Either way you’ll need to write both a network client for your RPGWizard game, and the server side logic.
Can I make a Platformer/Shooter/Puzzle/Non-RPG game with RPGWizard?
Technically yes, other types of games are possible and some people have already created some. However the engine is best suited to 2D RPG style games.
How do I play my game on Android/iOS?
It is possible using mobile browsers, but it hasn’t been fully documented yet.
How do I play my game on Switch/Xbox/PS4?
This is not currently possible, as it would likely require access to dedicated dev kits of each console for testing.
Can I sell my game commercially?
Yes, as long as you own the game’s assets or otherwise have permission to use them. The RPGWizard itself is licensed in a commercially friendly way, however we wouldn’t consider it stable enough yet for anything beyond hobbyist or educational uses.
