We’re barreling toward the first release of the post-Kickstarter demo of Village Monsters, so I wanted to take some time to talk about what that means.
First, the release date: Alpha 2 will be made available on December 11th, 2017!
Following Alpha 2 will be several Feedback Releases which will come out between the 11th and the end of December.
I’m still having trouble getting my sea legs, assuming “sea legs” means making time for regular updates! I don’t think anyone has ever used the phrase like that before, but I’m nothing if not a pioneer!
Anyway, it’s still technically the weekend, so I’m not late yet. There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s dig into this week’s Village Monsters Developer Diary!
…and we’re back!
It seems like every single day since the Kickstarter ended there has been one thing after another…doctor appointments, car appointments, flying to a wedding 3500 miles away, a very bad stomach bug.
It’s been awhile, but I should be back to normal at long last. Let’s see if I remember how to do this Dev Diary Digest thing.
The latest demo for Village Monsters, Alpha 1.05, is now out and ready to download.

Oh, hello there! Village Monsters is now live on Kickstarter!
Nearly nine months ago to the day I quit my job to create games. When I left I was excited and nervous and happy and anxious – and these are all the same emotions I feel today!
I’m having the time of my life doing this. This Kickstarter represents the first opportunity to make this new life sustainable, but there’s plenty of cool things coming down the road. I want to thank everyone who has joined me along for the ride!
Let’s go make a game, yeah?
No full moon? Big deal! I can release a new demo whenever I want, and that’s exactly what I’ve done!
Ok, so this is just Alpha 1.02 which contains the core features of Alpha 1 + some extra bugfixing, polish, and even a few new features
As with Alpha 1, it comes with the usual warnings: there’s plenty of missing content, placeholder features, bugs, and more. However! The game has reached a level of stability and features that I feel comfortable graduating it from Pre-Alpha to Alpha
