Hello Villagers! It’s a partly sunny / partly cloudy day here at Village Monsters HQ, and it’s perfect weather to reflect back on a productive week of work. I’m trying something a bit new this week: instead of a handful of items with detailed explanations I’m going for a lot of items with just a […]
Building a Village 06/15/2018 – New Furnishings
Happy Summer, villagers! The days are getting longer and hotter here at Village Monsters HQ, and that makes it easy to tell I’m a game developer: all I want to do is spend my days inside working on a computer. As with previous weeks this is a very dialogue focused update, but I also managed […]
