First off, Welcome to HN!

This is really cool, and... what an awesome first post! I'm probably biased, but I love seeing game-related "Show HN" posts!

Wishing you all the best!

P.S. dang is one of HN's admins/moderators. dang, if you're out there, a kind request to add "Show HN" to this post, if possible.

@lillian-lemmer, just so you know, the latest "Show HN" posts will surface here: https://news.ycombinator.com/show . This link ("Show") is at the top of the page.

Doesn't seem to support iOS, so I wouldn't recommend it for any development where you are hoping to earn money, but could be a fun thing to play around with and learn, maybe, I guess.

Honestly, PC is the best place for indies these days. Mobile (iOS included) is dominated by a few big companies churning out free-to-play titles...

This brings back SO many memories of the earliest "programming" I ever did: RPG Maker 2000. The stuff I wrote could barely even be called 'games' (after all, I was about 12 years old), but it's where I first experienced that magical 'spark' where you realize "Oh, MAN. So, you're telling me I can just write down what I want to happen, and the computer will DO it?!"

And from there, the rabbit hole just got deeper and deeper. :)

Thank you, Arjuna!

I'm really glad you enjoyed the post and the software. :) I'm sorry I neglected to utilize the "Show HN" feature. I'll be sure to utilize it in the future!

YES, EXACTLY, I feel like this project brings me full circle--OHRRPGCE got me into programming, and now I made my OWN game engine. :) Communities are beautiful like that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I can't still edit, I'm terribly sorry. :/

No reason to be sorry, it just may have benefited your post a bit. One of the mods may still make the change.

Ah, that's great to hear. :)
