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!

Village Monsters has nearly doubled its follower count this week which is beyond crazy. As a solo indie dev without the funds or brains for marketing its been a pretty good week for me.

I’ve received quite a few questions via comments and PM so I thought it’d be useful to create a post addressing some of them. Here we go!

Launch Info

Village Monsters will be releasing later this year. It will cost $19.99 and will support PC, Mac and Linux.

It will also be launching to Steam and you can WISHLIST it there if you prefer that platform!

Demo?

The plan is to release a demo sometime in the summer - likely around the end of June or July.

Following Development

I try to post dev logs here to Gamejolt every week or so, but if you can’t get enough Village Monsters then you should follow my account on Twitter.

If you’d like to contact me directly then I prefer email as I don’t always check my inbox here. [email protected] will get your love letters / hate mail to the right place.

Customization

Yes, you’ll be able to customize your character (and so much more)! You’ll be able to swap genders, your hairstyle, clothes, and more.

The reason you see a boring white dude in every shot is that I’m saving customization art for the end after everything else is finalized.

Future DLC

The sandbox nature of Village Monsters lends itself well to content updates and DLC, and I have a lot of ideas of what I could do post launch.

I’d like to do at least a year’s worth of regular updates, but a lot will depend on how well the game sells. One thing is certain: all updates will be free forever!

A Note on Save Compatibility

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

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!!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
