[Early release] Meet Realm-Crafting, an open-source game editor!

Demos and projects
1

Hello everyone,

After 1 year of work, I’m happy to announce the very first public release of Realm-Crafting, a full-featured, open-source game editor that’s accessible directly in the browser and designed to make it possible to create experiences without writing a single line of code by simply creating logical connections between objects and assigning configurable behavior scripts.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: This release is an early release :

• The editor is already functional.
• Many behaviors and tools are included.
• But the project is still in development: there are still features to improve, scripts to complete and others to integrate to create complete games.

:test_tube: Why is this Early Access ?

I want to share this project with you right now to:

• Get your opinions and suggestions.
• Spot bugs.
• Improve the experience with your feedback.

:wrench: What you’ll find in this release :

• A project manager to create and organize your creations.
• An editor of: levels, terrain, mistletoe, characters, particles, trees.
• A library of free assets (3D models, images, textures, music, sounds, behavior scripts) ready to use.
• A first evolutionary demo (horror atmosphere) to show the possibilities. This demo will be completed with updates and more themes will be created in the future.

:globe_showing_europe_africa: Where to discover and download it ?

:speech_balloon: Your opinion matters!

Thank you in advance for your feedback, ideas and tests. Every piece of feedback will help evolve it and create modern gaming experiences that are enjoyable to play.

Very impressive! Is there an online version to try it so I don’t have to install the server?

Hello, no it is not intended to be used online.
The server does not need to be installed, it is a portable server (without installation)

I may have an idea for a solution to have an online version in “Read-Only” to be able to test, but without being able to create a project, or to be able to record.
But it won’t be for now. But I’m thinking about it.

I use both Mac and Windows, and since my 15-year-old daughter also wants to try this out, I’ve started creating a Docker image (Apache/PHP/RC Editor) of this incredible piece of software so I can manage multiple installations more easily.

Congrats on the release, @Dad72! How much sweat did you put into the editor? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you @Roland. So the installation is fine? It’s great.

How much sweat did I put in the editor ?
A year of working every day between 3 and 8 hours. And it is not over, there are still many things to do, but the foundations are laid.

Welcome to you and your daughter (My daughter is the same age: 15 years old). I saw that you had registered on the forum, did you receive the validation link? I see that he doesn’t seem to have validated, hence my question. I can do it if need.

Sadly, I forgot to pay for my domain (the one I used to register on the forum), and guess when they deactivated it? Yesterday, LOL. I’ve already paid for it, but now I have to wait 24 hours until it comes back so I can access my emails. Any chance you could activate it straight away? Thanks!

Got interrupted a bunch of times while throwing the Docker image together, so it’s not done yet. Shouldn’t be a problem though. I’ll see how it turns out in the end :grin:

Can’t wait to give it a spin!

Ok, I have validated your registration to the forum, you should be able to connect to it if needed.
I hope that the installation will go well. If there is a problem, don’t hesitate to tell me. On the other hand, as far as MAC is concerned, I don’t know at all how it works. I use Windows.
There is a tutorial on the forum for installing with Window. I think the apache mini-server won’t work for MAC, but whatever, you can use an Apache server for MAC I think. The goal is to open the editor with an Apache server no matter what it is.

I got this error:
The editor must be used locally for security reasons.

I have a quite specific IP setup on my Mac/VM/Docker. Can you tell me what do you test here so I don’t have to look it up?

12

Ip local :

http://127.0.0.1/ Or http://localhost/
Only its two addresses are currently working.

Basically, the editor should only be used locally for security. otherwise anyone can access a project that you would have in progress.

I just sent an update from the editor that fixes major problems for the installation of modules after a first installation and also fixes the update system that was running in a loop.

[edit] I also added what is needed to check the local ip coming from un windows, linux, max, docker, VM (All cases should be taken into account)

This update also adds an online version. That means that online It’s read-only. The editor must be used in localhost, i.e. on your computer, especially not online on a domain. That’s why I provide a local Apache server to run it on the computer.

You need to redownload the zip to update from version 1.0 to 1.1. 1.0 has a major problem to update. After that, there will be no need to redownload the zip afterwards.

See this tutorial install Apache:

@CrashMaster And the online version (Reading only) :slight_smile:

This online version is just to see what it looks like and I put a little live tutorial to get started.
