Hey everyone, I'm the developer of
There are two main philosophies it follows:
Right now the engine is fully functional, but still in the early stages of development. That means you can already build and play games with it – but things are still evolving, and breaking changes may happen as I refine the core systems.
To showcase some of what it can already do, the engine ships with a built-in Tutorial game – which also includes spicy animated scenes if you turn on the “lewd” mod.

This new engine is not the one DQ is currently running on. It’s heavily inspired by DQ and everything I’ve learned while developing it, but this is a completely separate project, written from scratch using modern web tech (specifically Vue 3).

(game's thread) and I’m excited to share my own game engine for making UI-heavy games, anything from Twine-style text-based games, to VNs, to complex RPGs.There are two main philosophies it follows:
- Easy to use: You don’t need to install anything or write a single line of code. Just use the Editor’s forms to create your own game or modify existing ones. The engine already handles all the basics you’d expect from an RPG: characters and party, items and inventories, VN-style scenes and branching events, quests, gallery, skill trees, crafting, and more.
- Built to be extended: If you do want to go deeper, it’s designed so you can plug in your own custom UI and systems with a bit of Javascript, without fighting the engine or rewriting everything from scratch.
