Join the 2nd Tiny RPG Studio game jam!

Tiny RPG Studio is a small, deliberately limited game engine designed to spark creativity.

Build micro-RPGs and short stories in minutes and share everything through a single URL.

Each game lives inside its link: a short code at the end of the URL loads maps, NPCs, tiles, and game state. Opening the link is the same as importing the full game.

No installation required. It runs directly in the browser even on mobile.

Lightweight, offline, and deterministic, it works anywhere.


With a compact set of tiles, objects, NPCs, and enemies, you can create scenes, puzzles, and stories without distractions just creativity.
