Around late 2000, the scene began to rise again, due mostly to Allegro, a C programming Library, and many RPG Game Makers. Many of the people involved in the QB RPG scene moved up to the new scene that was boundless by a programming language. Some still programmed in QB, some in C/C++, others using RPG Game Makers.
Until 2002, there was no new site to reflect this growth and open mindedness to the scene. Most of the people hung out on sites like the now defunct GDR, which was hosted on swoo.net. Although an indie game dev'ing site, the GDR was too vague to be RPG specific. Eventually, a new site would arise, one to fill in the gap of QBRPG's. This site, RPGDX, followed a new idea and format from most indie RPG sites. It was not programmer or even programming language specific, so anyone could upload/download/review a game hosted by it. Gaining steadily in popularity, this site seems to be the most popular and central meeting point for anyone involved in designing Indie RPG's.
