KGI (short for Kierra Game Interpreter) is a Interpreter that allows you to create your own RPG games that's written in Microsoft QuickBasic. It only supports MS-DOS. Most machines with Windows will have DOS or a DOS Shell-type program. Right now it is still being written. The Interpreter won't allow you to do anything. There are some limits to what you can use.

It supports the following:

10 16x16 16 color tiles

1 16x16 16 color sprite - for the player

10 player levels-each with the following stats-Health, Strength, Attack, Defense, Vitality, and Agility

10 different monsters, each with a 38x48 16 color sprite image.

Unlimited fixed maps made up of 25x15 tiles.

Midi sound support.

6 different types of items. 5 different types of equipment (weapons, armor, shields)

The documentation included with KGI will describe more of its features.

Version 1.1 (Compiled: Microsoft QuickBASIC vr 4.50)-[OS: 16bit MS-DOS]-{March 25, 2007}

Minor Update.
No major changes in the Game Engine itself, just editors.

Found a minor error for midis. This error cannot be fixed, but can be avoided.
If you have a midi file used that doesn't exist, an error will occur and the program will be terminated.
This means that the error will occur also if you decided not to use:
title.mid, battle.mid, option.mid, death.mid, kierra.mid
So to resolve this issue, just use the newly added null.mid as a replacement.
It is a midi file that doesn't play any sound.


TILEDIT.EXE
Added a thumbnail view for a preview of tiles.
Now can load previously saved tiles and sprites.
You can press F3 to clear the image in memory.
Right Click performs a function similar to a color picker in most paint programs
You can load files from the command line. For an example:
tiledit.exe tile.ktl
Or from Windows, you can associate the file so when you double-click to open it,
it will open it in the editor.

MONEDIT.EXE
See above for tiledit.exe
 

BSV2KGI.EXE
I combined the BSV2KMI, BSV2KTL, and BSV2KSP into one Program

MAPEDIT.EXE
Text is easier to read.
Created a little panel on the sides of the screen.

GAMEDIT.EXE
Formally called KGIEDIT.EXE
Now can reload and edit the GAME.KGI and Tile.LST
Easy to use interface.

Save games from the previous version are not compatible. This will continue in the future for each new KGI release.
