GP-RPGV6.2

A modular 2D RPG engine built with LÖVE (Love2D), focused on rapid content creation, editor-driven workflows, and extensible ECS-based game architecture.

Overview

GP-RPGV6.2 is a custom RPG engine designed to provide a complete workflow for building 2D RPG experiences. The project combines runtime systems, content pipelines, map management, animation tooling, and editor support into a unified framework.

The engine emphasizes:

• Modular architecture
• Data-driven content
• ECS (Entity Component System) design
• Editor-assisted development
• JSON-based map workflows
• Expandability for future RPG systems

Running The Project

Requirements

• LÖVE 11.x or newer

Launch

love .

Or open the project through your installed LÖVE runtime.

---

Development Philosophy

The project is built around the idea that game creation tools should be part of the engine itself.

Rather than relying entirely on external editors, GP-RPGV6.2 aims to provide integrated workflows for creating maps, animations, content, and gameplay systems directly within the development environment.

Current Status

Active development.

Major areas currently under development include:

• Expanded map workflows
• Transition improvements
• ECS expansion
• Tooling enhancements
• Content pipeline improvements
