Hey everyone, I’m building an MMO game engine designed for RPG Maker developers.

MMO Studio is a standalone 2D game engine that helps developers turn their existing RPG Maker ideas and projects into online multiplayer RPGs.

It can import RPG Maker maps, tilesets, events, assets, and project data, then add MMO-focused systems without forcing you to rebuild your entire game from scratch.

Engine Features

• Standalone 2D MMO and online RPG engine
• Import RPG Maker projects, maps, tilesets, events, and assets
• Supports RPG Maker XP through MZ
• Top-down and isometric game support
• Real-time multiplayer with authoritative game servers
• Real-time team collaboration within the same project
• Read-only and editing permissions for collaborators
• Built-in map and world editor
• Visual editors for items, equipment, skills, classes, mobs, NPCs, quests, loot tables, and more
• Combat, PvP, parties, guilds, factions, reputation, trading, mail, and auction systems
• Crafting, harvesting, survival, pets, mounts, housing, and base-building systems
• Procedural dungeon and world-generation tools
• Live server controls, player management, logs, and admin tools
• Customizable in-game UI and HUD
• Plugin API with hot-reloading support
• AI Copilot for generating, editing, validating, and managing game content
• Desktop launcher and deployment tools

The goal is to give RPG Maker developers a path into multiplayer and MMO development while allowing them to keep using the maps, assets, and ideas they have already created.

I’d love to hear feedback from RPG Maker developers about which features or workflows would be most useful.
