With support for VGA, this editor will allow you to create an unlimited-sized two layer map using RM2K tilesets. You'll be able to switch to an area-editing mode to set active/inactive areas of the map, and to top it off, you will be able to save, load and test maps on-demand. For more information, visit the developer's website <a href="http://www.smokingfish.de/">here</a>. We'll keep you posted with an update as soon as it is released.<br /><br /><b>Edit:</b> Updated with a newer screenshot.

I hate to be an ignorant savage, but what is rpg (or r-pg)? I work in engineering, so it looks familiar yet I suspect the rpg that I know is not the one this article is talking about. :?:

RPG = role playing game
For example, the most excellent Legend of Zelda series.

and r-pg = the team wich creates the desktop rpg editor "minerva"

Anybody know what devices the final product is supposed to support? The website has beautiful shots of the protable output and the desktop editor, but doesn't say much in the way device compatibility.
