121+ #### What is Luminol
122+
123+ Luminol ([ Github] [ luminol-github ] by [ @speak2erase ] [ @speak2erase ] ) is a remake
124+ of the RPG Maker editor,
125+ based mostly off of
126+ [ RPG Maker XP] ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/235900/RPG_Maker_XP/ ) .
127+ (RMXP from here on)
128+ Created by [ Leelee] [ @speak2eras
10000
e ] and [ somedevfox] [ @somedevfox ] ,
129+ with the intent of creating a more modern, feature rich,
130+ and open source version of RMXP.
131+
132+ RGSS, RMXP's runtime, has already been open sourcecd thanks to [ mkxp] ( https://github.com/Ancurio/mkxp ) .
133+ However despite the several attempted, no one has fully remade the editor.
134+ There are [ some tools] ( https://github.com/20kdc/gabien-app-r48 ) out there which
135+ cover some of its functionality, but none are user friendly, nor feature complete.
136+ And we aim to change that!
137+
138+ #### Key Differences
139+
140+ - Completely GPU accelerated (RMXP is software rendered!)
141+ - Edit multiple maps at the same time
142+ - Multiple data formats
143+ - Edit encrypted archives (rgssad)
144+ - Open source
145+ - Won't make you pull your hair out
146+
147+ #### Motivation
148+
149+ RGSS, RMXP's runtime, is actually quite enjoyable to use.
150+ The actual editor though- not so much.
151+
152+ There's too many reasons to dislike RMXP to list, but here's some of the worse ones:
153+
154+ - The UI is extremly old and outdated
155+ - It's very hard to extend, comments are usualy used as a hack
156+ - RMXP is allergic to source control, using a binary format which git hates
157+ - There are arbitrary limits that never existed in previous versions
158+
159+ Luminol was born out of sheer frustration from dealing with these issues-
160+ and hopes to fix them!
161+
162+ #### Contributing
163+
164+ Luminol is currently looking for contributors too!
