[Luminol][luminol] by [@speak2erase] and [@somedevfox] is a remake

of the RPG Maker editor, based mostly off of [RPG Maker XP][RMXP]

(aka RMXP), with the intent of creating a more modern, feature rich,

and open source version of RMXP.

RGSS, RMXP's runtime, has already been open sourcecd thanks to [mkxp].

However despite the several attempts, no one has fully remade the editor.

There are [some tools][r48] out there which cover some of its functionality,

but none are user friendly, nor feature complete.

RGSS is actually quite enjoyable to use. The actual editor though - not so much:

dated and often unintuitive UI, extensibility issues,

binary format that is allergic to source control,

and arbitrary limits that never existed in previous versions.

Luminol was born out of sheer frustration from dealing with these issues -

and hopes to fix them!

Luminol's key differences:

- Completely GPU accelerated (RMXP is software rendered).

- Edit multiple maps at the same time.

- Multiple data formats.

- Edit encrypted archives (rgssad).

- Open-source.

- Better user experience overall.

Luminol is currently looking for contributors:

[there is a lot to be done][luminol-issues].
