Monworks v2.0.0

Monworks 2.0 — the toolkit ships (July 2026)

v2 is out. The faithful Pokémon Red port is now Monworks: a creation
toolkit for classic monster RPGs — with the port still inside, byte-for-byte, as
one project among many.

In the box:

• Monworks Studio (MIT): edit species, moves, items, trainers, and rules in
  generated forms; paint maps; author branching story events; write sandboxed
  scripts for puzzles and custom battle math; one-click play-test, with a
  problems panel running the same softlock checks that caught real
  sequence-breaks in the original.
• Two original CC0 samples: Meadowbrook, a tiny starter world to copy and
  make yours, and Bramblewick, the stress test — its own type chart and
  formulas, a lever puzzle, a finishable quest, beaten start-to-finish by an
  automated player, twice, identically.
• Shippable exports: one engine exe + your project folder, runs anywhere with
  no tools. The clean engine build contains zero extracted Nintendo content (we
  verify the packed index mechanically) — your export is yours to distribute.
• New engine capabilities: per-project widescreen viewports (16:9 at GBC
  pixel density), per-project UI vocabulary, extensible per-monster data that
  survives trades and stays lockstep-safe in link battles.
• The faithful port too: a hand-playtest campaign fixed a dozen issues
  automation couldn't see, and the Pokédex data screen now matches the
  cartridge pixel-for-pixel.

The legal model is unchanged: the toolkit ships only original code and content;
faithful Kanto comes from your own pokered clone, extracted locally, never
redistributed.
