Hello! Are you in need of extra ideas / Game features? I'd be happy to help, Contact me if you are interested.

Have you ever wondered what happens to an abandoned video game? All those NPCs with their artificial lives... what happens to their world after the game is powered off for that final time?

Village Monsters is an relaxing village life game set in one such world.

WHAT'S ALL THIS?

My name is Josh, and I'm making Village Monsters, a life sim game in the style of Animal Crossing, with visual & tonal inspiration from the Mother series.

WHAT CAN YOU DO IN IT?

Village Monsters is an open-ended village life game set in the world of a long-forgotten video game. You play as a human living in a community of (mostly) friendly monsters

Live a different kind of life in a different kind of world

  • Befriend dozens of whimsical monster villagers, each with their own quirky personalities, interests, and problems to solve.

  • Engage in a variety of daily tasks and activities like earning money with a part time job, joining in village events and holidays, going on adventures - or just hanging out with your monster pals and watching some TV.

  • Buy a fixer-upper and sink your entire life savings into it to make it your very own comfy-cozy homestead.

  • Pursue many interesting hobbies that let you hunt for treasure, collect and train creatures, cultivate mushroom gardens, and catch legendary fish.

  • Unravel unique personal stories as you build friendships and learn the history (and secrets) of the village and its inhabitants.

  • Explore vast and strange areas outside the village ranging from vibrant forests, arctic deserts, fog-choked valleys, and the ruins of a best-forgotten empire.

  • Immerse yourself in a truly simulated world that boasts shifting weather patterns, sweeping seasonal changes, and interesting system interactions.

  • Harness the glitches of a run-down game and use them to empower your skills and fix this neglected world.

WHEN AND WHERE IS IT RELEASING?

Village Monsters is releasing to PC / Mac / Linux in Fall 2019

HOW CAN I FOLLOW DEVELOPMENT?

I'm very active on Twitter, so if that's your thing too then I'd love to have you follow along.

There's also email ([email protected]). Beyond that, there's lot of other choices!

Finally, if you think about it there's really just a finite number of humans out there, so if we both talk to enough of them then we'll eventually find each other. I look forward to seeing you!

WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE. Village Monsters will be hitting digital store shelves on November 12th, 2019!

Last week I released the first public Village Monsters demo in quite some time. The response has thus far been fantastic! Today I’m happy to announce that a major update to the demo is now available! Patch notes after the jump.

Whoa, huge news! There's a new trailer for Village Monsters. Take a look!

The last one was (embarrassingly) from 2017 so this was long overdue. Enjoy!

I often begin these updates with some superfluous comment about the weather, but that seems in poor taste given how much of the world is dealing with some dangerously hot days...

Alright, folks, I need some help naming something. Why do you call the mechanic in a game that grants you new actions or upgrades?

For example, complete this sentence: "You must unlock the Mush Mouth _________ in order to talk to mushrooms"

For this update we're going for all killer no filler: it's a short one focusing on the timeline leading up to launch. 

Hello new followers! I'm so happy you're all excited about Village Monsters. I've seen quite a few questions this week, so I'd like to take this chance to answer them all!

There are many hobbies to pursue in your time in the village, but if you like making money and learning lore there's really only one hobby for you:

Treasure Hunting!
