A Note on Save Compatibility

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.

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

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!

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

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 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!!

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!

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.
