If you've come on IRC, you've heard me talk about it.
If you've stayed on IRC, you've seen me plug it.
Now, it's ready. My Tsunagari Tile Engine's first Alpha Preview Release is here!
Presenting: Alpha Preview Release 1 "Madotsuki".
As development continues, I'll post updates and new downloads in this thread. You can also see progress on the official website, linked below.
===ABOUT===
Tsunagari is a tile engine inspired by the cult classic game Yume Nikki. It is intended as an open source replacement for the popular proprietary RPGMaker game development suite that the original and most fangames were/are written on. The main focus is compatibility with all features of the original game, and beyond that it strives to add networking and additional features. Tsunagari is written in C++, using the Gosu framework.
===FEATURES===
Tsunagari will be a comprehensive game design suite for singleplayer 2D games. The engine will support several styles, such as roguelikes, RPGs, and RTS games. Multiplayer support is more difficult, and is not expected to be present in the first release. Tsunagari is intended as an open source replacement for game design suites such as RPGMaker, and will allow Lua scripting for the event system, and for additional custom functionality. As a suite, Tsunagari aims to allow as much game variation as possible without direct modifications to the engine source code. Game design will require manual file editing during the Alpha and Beta phases, but a game editor suite will be shipped with the first major release.
