Its 3D map editor supports floors, autotiles, walls, mountains, multiple sprite types, 3D objects, and map elements such as NPCs and chests. Objects and events can interact, including doors and treasures. Retro-inspired assets are included, and creators can import their own. A 3D side-view battle system supports configurable heroes, monsters, troops, animations, statuses, and elements. Users with programming or modeling knowledge can create or modify JavaScript plugins and import .obj models. Games can be exported for desktop platforms and web browsers.
