XPX Engine

XPX Engine

Familiar Tools. Modern Power.

A 2D game creation engine built in Python — fully compatible with classic projects, rebuilt from the ground up for modern hardware.

XPX Engine is a complete 2D game creation environment for those who like the classic XP-Styled systems of the past, but dream of it having modern capabilities. The Game itself fully runs on mkXPX — a custom mkxp-z fork tuned for the smooth performance the original engine never had.

Whether you're starting a brand-new game, reviving a 2020-era project, or shipping a fan game, XPX gives you the tools you remember with the conveniences you've been waiting two decades for.
