RPG in a Box - Ol' Smaug

The October "Halloween" Spotlight is now open! Submissions are due by Oct. 26th.

This month's spotlight will be a little different to the other months, just to mix things up and have a bit of fun. As it is the spooky month, the month of Halloween, this particular spotlight will be theme focused.

Everyone is welcome to submit screenshots and videos here of any Halloween/Horror themed games you are currently working on. If you are not currently making a Horror themed game, don't worry! You can still take part, as this spotlight is also open to content being made specifically for it. So if you would like to take part, simply make a scene (spooky models and a spooky map) in RPG in a Box and take some screenshots/video clips and submit them. The game does not need to be playable...it can literally just be a scene or series of scenes.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's games! 🎃

Submit your game on the official forum:

https://rpginabox.com/forum/d/1469-october-halloween-spotlight

Or the community Discord's #spotlight-submissions channel:

RPG in a Box - Ol' Smaug

Release v1.3.4.2 is out now! This features a few small updates, most notably the ability to rate Steam Workshop games directly from RPG in a Box! The game featured in the screenshot below is Gardiny by creator Poulet Rôti. Gardiny is a relaxing game where you take care of a garden at your own pace!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3509394132

Read below for the full list of changes:

  • Added "Up Vote" and "Down Vote" buttons to the "Play Games" dialog for rating games from RPG in a Box without needing to go the Steam Workshop page

  • Updated "Play Games" dialog to now display placeholders with the game title while the game box previews are being loaded into the collection list

  • Updated "Share to Steam Workshop" dialog for sharing games to now require at least one game box screenshot in addition to the required in-game screenshot

  • Updated Steam achievements dialog to now reset the scrollbar to the top of the list upon opening instead of remaining where it was when the dialog was closed

  • Updated Steam achievements dialog to now show a "question mark" image for new achievements that have been published to Steam but don't have images yet

  • Updated "Import Resources" built-in docs to remove some outdated info and to add ".gif" as a supported image format and ".wav" as a supported music format

Hi everyone! In case you missed it, the Workshop Adventures update is out now! With this release, you can now share your games directly to the Steam Workshop, and play other people's games, all from the comfort of RPG in a Box! There are already 24 games out there waiting to be played, and I look forward to seeing it grow as more people share theirs! Have you made a game with RPG in a Box? Consider sharing it for the community to play!

I was planning to feature a few of the games in this post, but there are too many games already that it's too difficult to only pick a few, and they deserve their own post anyway! It's really simple to share your game to the workshop, and you even get to customize your own game box with images, text, and more!

Check out all of the games that have been shared using the link below! To play one, just subscribe to it, then go to Community -> Play Games from within RPG in a Box, select the game in your collection, and press Play. It's that easy!

Browse Adventures on the Steam Workshop

Watch the quick start video below for a brief guide on how to share games to the Steam Workshop and how to play other people's games!

This update also comes with Steam Cloud support, which lets you sync your game projects to the cloud, as well as a new project template called "Class Dismissed", a lighthearted horror adventure created as a collaboration between me and Sarah using her school assets.

Thank you so much for your continued support! You are awesome! ❤️
