Pirotic updated his RPG engine for the GP32. Here is what the readme says: (Thanks to GP32x for the news, again)The main ‘new feature’ is the inclusion of the editing functions, these can be accessed by selecting edit while playing a game, or selecting edit in the Game Browser. Being the first variant of the editor, the GUI is very crude! but hopefully will give you enough to get started on your project.All graphic files are loaded from SMC, so you can use your own artwork for every aspect of the game. including entitys, attacks, special effects and tilesets.Along with the editor, i’ve done minor improvements to almost every other area, the animation system is improved, the AI is tweaked,special effects have started to be implemented, etc.

More information about the Kronos can befound via the link posted below. Thanks to GP32x for the news.http://www.codejedi.com/shadowplan/kronos.html
