Release: Update 2 for Summer Sherbert Demo is now available!


A new version of the Summer Sherbert demo has been released. This is a small update containing a number of fixes and quick improvements based on your feedback.

Improved

  • More intelligent ‘blockers’ have been added around exits and entrances to make them more obvious

  • Improved the “New Dialogue” icon

  • Increased the number of states in which it’s not possible to open the menu

    • This helps prevent some goofy situations and menu overlap

  • Fishing has been re-balanced so it’s not always a gimme

    • A more in-depth fishing balance is due out next release

  • Improved the overall look of some of the vegetable sprites

  • Changed placement of “helper text” on villagers to make them a bit more centered

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where menus could open erroneously while writing feedback

  • Fixed helper icons incorrectly displaying on items you can’t interact with

  • Fixed issue where you couldn’t change journal pages with RB/LB on the gamepad

  • Fixed a number of layering issues

  • Fixed a number of typos in item descriptions

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

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.

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.

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

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!

A Note on Save Compatibility

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!!

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.
