RPG 20XX is a redesign of RPG Maker 20XX... Which was an upgrade replacement
for RPG Maker 2003's engine. This newer engine will have nothing to do with
the RPG Maker series of engines apart from the familiarity of the editor and
engine features.

RPG 20XX should provide lots of advanced features yet remain faithful to the
retro scale of RPG Maker 2003. It should not require actual writing of program
scripts and instead provide a clever implementation of a click-together event
scripting system similar to the older RPG Maker engines. Most notably the
ability to re-adjust the battle calculations purely through event scripting.

Lots of common tedium and annoyances of RPG Maker 2003 should be eliminated.
RPG 20XX will provide global battle events for all battles, a quest system,
simplified character development, local save variables per event, and other
simple conveniences.

Lastly, there is a need for an engine that runs on older and more modern
systems. A game created with RPG 20XX now will be much easier to get running
again in the year 20XX later. All of this is currently licensed under the MIT
license so you can check out the source code any time if you really wanted to.
It will be a community project, free as in price and in freedom to create the
RPGs in a fun familiar way like you always wished RPG Maker 2003 could do
these days.
