  • Building a Village, 07/11/2018 – Invading Privacy

    Hello Villagers! Welcome to another (slightly late) weekly developer diary of Village Monsters!  Another productive week is under the belt and we’ve had so many of those in a row that our stomach is full to bursting. I let that analogy get away from me, so let’s cover our losses and proceed with the update!

  • Building a Village, 07/01/2018 – Fishtincts

    Hello Villagers! Welcome to another weekly developer diary of Village Monsters. It’s been a productive week over here at Village Monsters HQ.

    Hello villagers! This Building a Village ​will be a little different than usual. Instead of recapping the past week’s work, I want to do a deep dive on the single most important feature of Village Monsters – its dialogue system! Each kind of game values dialogue a little differently, but it’s the real bread-and-butter for a…

  • Release: Beta 1 Demo is now Available

    Welcome to Beta, Village Monsters! Three months of tremendous work has lead to this being one of the biggest and most interesting updates so far. Toward the start I maintained a detailed list of patch notes, but as it grew and grew I realized that it was simply becoming too much – no one would…
