Hello Villagers! The date at the top of this draft says “January 4th”. Oh past Josh, you were tragically naive. At the bottom of this post I’ve shared why this update is so late. But for now, I want to talk about something I haven’t yet: the story of Village Monsters! In my original pitch […]

A farewell to demos
You may have noticed that I’ve removed links to the demo from here and elsewhere. And if you hadn’t noticed before then you surely have now after reading that sentence. It felt weird doing this – like I was trying to get away with something bad – so I started making this post as an […]

Release Notes: Village Monsters Beta 3 (Pumpkin Pie)
