Level Up Builder
Welcome to Level Up Builder!
This is a free online tool that you can use to create your very own role playing games based off of the Level Up RPG engine by Ape Apps, LLC. To get a feel for the style of RPG you can create with this tool, please see the original Level Up RPG game.
When you are ready to export your game and distribute/share it with others, select the Compile Game option from the file menu. Players can launch your game file using the free Level Up Player. The player is a free progressive web app that can be installed on any system (or run from within the browser directly). When installed as a PWA, it will allow users to easily launch your game by simply downloading and then double-clicking on the game file. Players can also use the app to manage their own library of Level Up based games.
Level Up Builder is provided as-is with no instructions or warranty, but should be fairly easy to figure out. If you have questions or issues, you can visit the Ape Apps Forums and post your questions there.

| Uses Relative Strength |
If set > 0, enemy stats will be set relative to players current stats and ignore the following base stat settings. For instance, a setting of 0.5 will give the enemy 50% of the players' current base stats. This causes the enemies to increase in power along with the player. In many cases it might be best to leave this at 0 and set enemy stats manually, so you always know what you will be fighting against. |

If enemy stats are set to a relative-to-player level, it is impossible to determine what the actual stats of the enemy will be like in-game. Setting a level here will automatically randomly distribute stat points based on level and simulate some stats. Will not be 100% accurate to in-game experience. |
