TBG Engine Suite

The current version of the TBG Engine & Editing Tools is V1.3 Pre-Alpha
The current version of the Kingdom of Adriana Game is V0.1

The Text Based Gaming Engine is designed to ease the creation of Text Based Games for newbie developers and still provide a powerful and flexible engine for advanced developers. The TBG Engine is a project under development and still has awhile to go before it's finished. However you can download the latest version of the engine and as new things are added to the engine they will be released in an update here on the site. Below is a list of features for the engine.

January 5th, 2007: V1.3 Pre-Alpha Released!

The pre-alpha release of the TBG Engine Suite has been released! Coming with this release is V1.28D5 of the TBG PC Edition with some minor tweaks, but it's no longer called the TBG Engine since it now covers more than one platform! So the TBG Engine is now the TBG Engine Suite and is given a new version, V1.3. However, with this release you now get the Windows Mobile edition of the engine and a preview of the documentation that will be released when the alpha version of the engine is finally released. You can download the TBG Engine Suite V1.3 from the archives page, or from the top of our home page.

January 2nd, 2007: The new year! A new TBG!

The TBG Engine Suite Pre-Alpha has been finished and packaged and is ready to go! I'm just adding a few little extra touches to the Mobile Edition and trying to get as much of the documentation done as possible. The documentation will be less than 25% completed when the pre-alpha will be released and the Mobile Edition will only have a working Project Editor and Room Editor.

December 19th, 2006: Alpha Release Nearing...

With the release of TBG Engine Suite Alpha nearing I am rushing to get the engine ready for it's final Pre-Alpha release(V130D5)! While the porting of the engine to Windows Mobile is going smoothly, I am re-writing all of the engine's documentation to cover every aspect of the engine, Project tools, runtimes, tutorials and source code. Documentation will cover both platforms and I am working hard at writing some solid documentation that you can use to help learn how to use the TBG Engine Suite when released as Alpha. Note that the documentation will be released with the Alpha release and NOT the final Development Stage release (1.3.0D5)

December 17th, 2006: Final Development release

As already mentions earlier this month, version 129D5 is being moved to V130 and I will not be releasing 129 to the public. V130 will be released in conjunction with the Mobile Edition of the engine and it will be the final Development release. I will be moving the engine to an Alpha stage. We're getting closer to being able to move the engine into Beta and finally an official release!

December 17th, 2006: PC & Mobile edition features list

The history page has been removed from the site and replaced with a comparison chart between the two versions of the TBG Engine, the PC and Mobile edition. The chart shows all the features included in the engine and then which platform supports those features.

December 16th, 2006: Announcing TBG Mobile!

The TBG Engine is now being ported over to Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices! This will allow you to develop your games at home and on the go! While the Mobile version of the engine is being worked on the PC version will not be receiving any updates. Once I can get the mobile edition up to speed with the PC version then I will begin working on updating and maintaining both editions of the engine. Keep watch! A development release of the TBG Mobile edition should be released sometime over the next 4-6 weeks.
