Tuxemon is a free, open source monster-fighting RPG.

Overview

Tuxemon is a free and open source monster-fighting role-playing game (RPG) that works well on Linux systems.

It is designed for users who want a safe and moddable game experience.

Tuxemon is actively developed by a community of contributors, making it a constantly improving project.

The game's data uses JSON format, which is easy to change and add to, and the game’s Python code can be edited directly without needing a compiler.

Players can create and modify game maps using the Tiled Map Editor.

The game also includes a simple scripting system that handles dialogues, map interactions, and non-player character (NPC) behavior.

Tuxemon is available in several languages, increasing accessibility to a wider audience.

Some key features include 183 monsters with their own sprites, 98 battle techniques, 221 NPC sprites, and 18 different items.

The maps are animated, and users can use a command-line interface (CLI) to run live game debugging.

Extensive documentation helps users understand how to modify or contribute to the game.
