A New Demo & Trailer for Village Monsters


I’m very excited to announce a new demo for Village Monsters is now available - and there’s also a new trailer for you to enjoy right alongside it!

You can find the demo right here at GameJolt, and the trailer below.

This release is still considered Pre-Alpha, which means that there are missing or incomplete features, placeholders, and bugs.

Still, this latest demo represents the most amount of work I’ve put into the game so far, and while it’s still in a rough state, it is absolutely playable with many core features and fun things to experiment with.

Here’s an sample of things you can find in the current demo:

  • Catch bugs and other critters, then donate them to the Historical Society

  • Experience a day/night cycle with dynamic weather

  • Go fishing!

  • Play fetch with your dog

  • Talk with nearly 20 unique villagers with distinct personalities

  • Buy furniture, then decorate your house with your purchases

  • Shake trees and dig up half-buried items to discover treasures, money, and…food?

  • Discover all kinds of hidden secrets and easter eggs (be sure to check each mailbox!)

So go check it out, and be sure to follow me here at Gamejolt, on Twitter, and on Facebook.

Work has begun on the full Alpha demo which will be releasing sometime in September, so look forward to weekly Developer Diary Digests on my progress starting this weekend!

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Gardening has been the most neglected hobby in Village Monsters. Many players don't even realize it exists.

Well, that changes now. Let's talk gardening!

Village Monsters v.0.70 is out now for all platforms! I had two goals with this release: completely overhauling the gardening hobby, and redoing how the game saves and loads data. To celebrate the release, Village Monsters is 10% off all weekend!

Happy Day-After-Valentine's-Day, villagers! This is one of the best days around if you like discounted chocolate and red-and-pink colored tchotchkes.

It's time for another major update! Welcome to Village Monsters v0.80, also known as Part 1 of the Village Restoration Project.

This is another small patch update fixing some of the more urgent bugs found in v0.80. As always, thank you to everyone who reported bugs via email, Twitter and Discord!

New Update: Early Access v0.72.5b: Home improvements, village improvements, code improvements?!

For a very long time now – as far back as March 20th, at least – I’ve wanted to make big, sweeping changes to Village Monsters. Well, today seemed as good of day as any to finally announce these exciting changes.

A Note on Save Compatibility

Village Monsters update v0.65.0 is out now on all platforms! I think a cozy and comfortable game about chilling with your monster friends in a cool village is something a lot of people could use right now.

It's been a long time since I've written a dev log for Village Monsters, and it's been *even longer* since I've made a Blingee. So I've decided to rectify both of those things today!!
