With April finally here Spring is now in full bloom, and while we’re busy squashing bugs and polishing the next big release of 001 Game Creator, we wanted to take a moment to show off what our community has been up to lately! It’s been great seeing more activity from you, and we’d love to keep that momentum going, so let’s kick things off with the very first community showcase for this month!
Community Showcase
Kicking off our very first community showcase is a project that’s oozing with charm and retro flair: “Dungeon Mori” by FilthyDrawings! This wonderful and stylish dungeon crawler blends SNES-era visuals with roguelike mechanics, all wrapped up in a moody, mysterious pixel world. With beautifully crafted dungeons and a solid narrative, it’s exciting to see how far this one will come, and it’s even got a demo out now on Steam!

We’ve got another cool project here made by Sleepy Peach called “Beyond the Mountains”; yet another beautifully stylized RPG dripping with atmosphere. With a mix of hand-crafted artwork, a focus on emotional storytelling, and some classic action-based combat, this one feels like a cozy yet mysterious journey into a majestic fantasy world. The dev’s been sharing progress in the community for a while now, and it’s been awesome watching this one evolve. If you’re into adventures with rich vibes, make sure to check its free demo on Steam!

Highlights from previous updates
Last month, we released a new beta version of 001 Game Creator to our Patreon supporters! This update included a number of fixes and improvements like more stable projectile behavior, better tile shadow rendering, and a key script editor bug fix that prevents lost parameter changes. Mobile developers also got some attention with improved image dimension error reporting when exporting for Android and iOS.
Going a bit further back, we also introduced new map options that enhance alpha blending for tiles, allowing for smoother visual transitions. Android users on older or lower-end devices should now see much better 3D model rendering, thanks to a fix that significantly improved compatibility.
The beta’s still going strong, and we’re getting ready to bring these updates to everyone soon!
