A creation toolkit for classic monster RPGs — grown from a from-scratch, native PC port of Pokémon Red.
Monworks is a Godot-based engine + desktop editor (Monworks Studio) + portable project format. You edit plain JSON and Tiled TMX files through generated forms, paint maps, author branching story events, script puzzles and battle math in a sandboxed language — then export your game as a single executable anyone can run.
⬇ Download the latest release — Windows · Linux · macOS, with two playable sample games in the box.

- Out of the box — copy a CC0 sample project and make it yours. No extraction, no external anything.
- Bring your own pokered — the toolkit is also a faithful Pokémon Red port: clone pret/pokered beside the repo and two scripts rebuild the whole game as a project on your machine. That content stays personal-use and is never distributed; the repo README states the legal model plainly.
This wiki demonstrates; the repository's docs/ tree specifies — formats, engine rules, and architecture decisions live there, one link away.
The toolkit's code is MIT; the samples are CC0. Everything pictured on this wiki is original content from the samples and the editor — no extracted Nintendo material.
