Monster RPG 2 is looking to get $1,500 to open source the engine and data files so everyone can get it for free and help continue engine and game development!
QuoteMonster RPG 2 is a fairly successful JRPG for PC, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. But it can be so much more! I am seeking funding that will allow me to not only open source the game engine and all of its data, but also help developers create games using this engine by 1) Offering contributors 1 on 1 help via email, IRC and any other form of communication accessible to me, and 2) Create a massive development wiki which will have information on the codebase and data formats used to personalize a game of your own. For 3 months I will be at the mercy of my contributors, fixing bugs and adding features to make this engine general purpose and easy for coders to create their dream games with. And plus, anyone in the world will be able to download Monster RPG 2 for free!
This is a great idea, I am really quite supportive of this even though I have the game I will be donating! Not asking for a big amount either when you think about it, so dig deep everyone! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Yay! Any idea whether this means that it won't be based on Adobe AIR?

Thanks for posting this, and yes, Monster RPG 2 is based on Allegro 5.1, no flash involved. It also uses Lua for scripting.

Lua was a good choice, should make other people jumping into it not too hard.

Oh my, I must have confused this with Cardinal Quest 2. It also had such a campaign recently (except for the opensourcing part), but the game was based on AIR. Thanks for clearing it up!

I just added a new perk that the GAMERS here will probably like: alpha access to the game we've been secretly developing for the past year or so. It's still in the early stages (being a very large scale game), but there's enough meat on it that I decided it's ready for some other eyes to see. Every contribution to the IndieGoGo campaign of $5 or more gets you alpha access starting December 1st. But the campaign must reach the $1500 goal or none of the perks will be realized, so spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, your blog, to your dog AND your fish!

Thanks! I hope not to disappoint anyone. The game will be in development for quite a while still before version 1.0.
