Hello Villagers! A big release is always a magnet for new bugs, and yesterday’s update was no different. Today’s patch is a hotfix to address all the bugs that were reported (mostly cutscene related) in the last 24 hours. As always, a huge thank you to all the players who reported bugs via Discord and […]
The Foundations Update (v0.75)
Hello Villagers! Welcome to Village Monsters v0.75! This is a major update to Village Monsters – it’s so big that I decided to call it The Foundations Update. This is because v0.75 lays the foundation (get it?!) for some of the biggest parts of the game: story cutscenes, Heart-to-Heart events, player abilities, village restoration, and more.

Building a Village – Heart to Heart
Hello Villagers! Let’s talk friendship. There are 32 monster pals in Village Monsters that you can befriend, but until now there hasn’t been much of a benefit beyond watching their little heart icons fill up. That’s about to change. Today’s dev diary is going to feature one of the biggest and most exciting new additions […]
New Major Patch: Early Access 0.72.5b!
Hello Villagers! Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/679830/Village_Monsters/ Itch.io: https://josh-bossie.itch.io/village-monsters Welcome to version 0.72! This release was originally going to focus only on home and village improvements, but I somewhat accidentally found myself hunting and destroying dozens of bugs instead. Frankly, all this bugfixin’ work was long overdue, so I decided to change gears and make it my new […]
The Gardening Update (v0.70) + 10% off!
Hello Villagers! Happy May Day! 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. One of those probably sounds a lot more exciting than the other, which is why I’m calling this The Changes to Game Saves […]
Building a Village – Garden Variety
Hello Villagers! We all neglect things they really shouldn’t. Maybe it’s a hard task you don’t know how to start. Maybe it’s just cleaning your room. For me? It’s the mushroom gardening hobby in Village Monsters. It’s “technically” been in the game since releasing in Early Access 6 months ago, but you wouldn’t know it. I’ve barely touched it since then […]
A Note on Save Compatibility
Hello Villagers! How’re your gardens doing this year? My physical garden has been shamefully neglected (per the usual), but as for my virtual garden…? It’s literally never been better! Since my last update I’ve working super-duper hard on the next version of Village Monsters – which, incidentally, will feature a brand new Gardening hobby for […]
