Bring your classic RPG Maker games straight to the modern web! RM2K Web allows games created in RPG Maker 2000 and RPG Maker 2003 to run seamlessly inside any modern web browser.

About the Engine

  • liblcf Integration: Powered by liblcf from the EasyRPG project to accurately parse and handle classic RPG Maker 2000/2003 data structures and compatibility.
  • Modern Web Playability: Brings classic 2000/2003 games directly into web browsers without requiring native software installation.
  • Classic Engine Preservation: Designed to preserve the feel and logic of classic 2000/2003 titles in an accessible online format.

Development Status

  • Work in Progress (WIP): The project is under active development to refine performance, polish accuracy, and eliminate bugs.
  • Open Source Plans: Once the project reaches a reliable, stable state, it will be fully released as open source for the community.

Try the Online Version

You can test the engine right now directly in your browser!

Note on Loading Times: Please expect a short wait when launching the online demo, as game asset resources are being fetched over the network. We are actively working on optimizing the asset loader to make the web experience much smoother. That said, desktop performance is already very fast and running smoothly!

2003 Maker!! <3

Hello, is there any reason that motivated the creation of this engine?

While I do see that some features were added to the engine inherited from RPG Maker MV (caterpillar system, mouse controls, run action), and is otherwise intended to run like RPG Maker 2000/2003, I do not understand the existence of this engine when the EasyRPG Player (which you already use its liblcf library for your engine) exists, supports games, and already has a web version to run and deploy RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 games on a web browser. Granted that you wanted to make a RPG Maker 2000/2003 with those MV enhancements, wouldn't it have been easier to just fork the Player and add those features through the fork?

So far, I'm not understanding why someone would use this engine to publish a RPG Maker 2000 or 2003 game on the web; the current state of the engine does not help, as it just seems to be a proof of concept (events either cannot be interacted with, or no event commands are implemented at all).
