  • Monster following & more starters

    After some longer time with no updates here (all imgur images didn't work for some time), here are some updates once again!

    I added a feature where the player can chose which monster is following him:

    (Still working to finish walking and jumping animations for all the monsters that are already available.)
    Also you can now use a predefined skill for every monster while exploring, to get rid of obstacles:

    Also i started working on the other starters that will be available in the game and their skills.

    Spectral Frog:

    Spectral Eagle:

    Also Spectral Eagle will have a new debuff type "Shock". When attacking a shocked enemy, it will trigger some additional damage.

    Currently i'm working on the next big demo update that will include all 4 starter monsters as well as some other bigger changes
    (enemy monster will move around freely while you are exploring and you will be able to avoid battles if you want by not touching them)
    Next version should be available around September.

    If the Kickstarter goes well, would other operating systems and platforms be a possibility? I'd love to play this on my Switch a few years down the line.

    Either way, this game looks great so far and I'll definitely be pledging at least a dollar or two!

  • Demo 2 Preview, Upcoming Kickstarter

    Hey all,

    I've worked hard in the last months on bringing a second improved demo version.
    Currently it is being tested on our discord channel and I'm fixing the last bugs.
    While all of it is getting polished, I wanted to post a preview
    of the changes for the upcoming version

    Selecting starter monster
    It will be possible to select any of the four spectral familiars as your starting monster.
    Spectral Wolf, Spectral Eagle, Spectral Toad, Spectral Lion

    Monster Abilities
    You will be able to switch which monster is following you.
    Also you will be able to use different monster abilities to get rid of obstacles or help you explore.

    This game is great. Its like a combination of Pokemon and final fantasy. I am happy you got so much support on kick start after you took the big risk to quit your job. I hope you can continue to work on this game and maybe even make new ones in the future. GOOD LUCK!!!

    It's been absolutely crazy seeing how popular your game has been getting. Never expected to see it on Reddit, let alone have 4000+ upvotes with a few golds.

    I'm loving everything you're doing with this game

    I've been following the development of this on Twitter for a while but only now did I find out you're a member of the PokeCommunity as well.
    Regardless, this game keeps getting better and better.

  • Full time development, Beta launch, Publisher

    Long time no update - After the successful Kickstarter I'm able to work full time on the game and I'm working hard to the milestone dates promised to the backers!

    Some news: I have a Publisher now! Team17 (developers of the Worm games, publisher of recent indie games like Overcooked, Escapist, My time at Portia) - this will allow me to focus more on actual development of the game.



    This is a new Trailer they made for the game!

    I launched the Backer beta version of the game - compared to the demo version it contains two new areas, 13 new monsters, Keeper Duels (against NPCs) and the Monster Journal feature

    People who missed the Kickstarter but still want to support the project or join the beta - Istill have possibility open to become a Late Backer for some more time.
