I had to dig waaaaay back to find this, but I have found it! It is the first RPG game engine that I attempted in C++!! For this engine, there is the front-end tool and also the run-time engine. I have included the source for the run-time engine. It was only about 25% finished when I stopped working on it... that was like 2 years ago! I haven't included the source code for the front-end, it was written in Visual Basic and was about 90% finished. I have included the front-end EXE file, so you can play around in that!

Anyways, here's a fair warning; it's old, buggy, and slow! But the code is good to look at if you are interested in designing a 2D game engine.

EDIT:
I forgot to mention that you can "play" the demo... please note that the menu system was not in working condition... here are the keys:

Move - Up, Down, Left, Right
Select\Attack - Right Ctrl
Back - Right Alt
Enter Menu - Right Shift

If I were a drummer I would use a cymbal.
If I were a writer I would use a pencil.
I would use my voice if I were a singer.
No matter who or what we are we must praise.

Hey en, thanks for the kudos.

It wasn't ever finished, but it took a couple of weeks to get all of the planning and documentation together. (which is all on paper.. otherwise I'd have attached it with the download as well) It took about 2 months to design the front-end. The run-time engine.. hmm... I think I was going on about a month working on it... when I decided to go 3D...
