Happy PMD day everyone! ^vv^
I obviously wouldn't be working on Monster Mystery if I never played Explorers of Darkness >vv< last year I had no idea this day existed so I totally missed it, but I was reminded about it and so, here you go! ^vv^ Had to post today to give updates on the project anyway!! I decided to draw my team I had when I finally beat Explorers alongside my first team from Monster Mystery :3
I actually don't have a lot of experience with the MD series- the only games I've actually played myself have been the aforementioned PMD Explorers of Darkness and Shiren:Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate on steam lol >vv< I have obviously watched and consumed a lot of PMD-specific stuff from videos and streams to the wiki pages to try and grab inspiration from their more unique and quality-of-life changes. At least, the changes that don't completely destroy the gameplay since I've done my best to make Monster Mystery feel like Explorers >vv< And while PMD Explorers will obviously be my favorite story, I will say that no matter the MD game, from Pokemon or otherwise, Spike Chunsoft seems to always do a phenomenal job of capturing the franchise they're making it for- including their own. I hope I can do that with my stupid little fan project too ^vv^
Ironically this shares a month with the day Monster Mystery had its demo drop- the project was first playable by you all on the 25th of August last year... (*has flashbacks of all the bugs people were coming across*) eughghghgh-- but we've come a long way!
Thanks Mystery Dungeon, and thanks Monster Hunter!- sorry I missed your 20th anniversary, I shoulda made something!! <vv< I still feel guilty about that lol
Anyway, onto the updates with the project- I spent the last two weeks making portraits for a few monsters that Zeocin made sprites for (Basarios, Crystal Basarios, and Cephadrome), and adding the UI to the Burrow scene- so.. you know.. you can open the pause menu! (kinda important lol) Also I implemented the music and ambience effects for the times of day and all that >vv< I think that's all I did? I can't fully to be honest ^vv^ Zeo has also been continuing to make awesome soundfont covers to mh music, even referencing games I doubt a lot of you have even heard of, much less played >vv> I am very excited for you to hear it!
Anyway, more updates to come soon, thanks for reading, I know this desc was way too long!!
Have a great weekend everyone! ^vv^/

I knew not of PMD day either so this is news to me as well hah! XD
I can't wait to play your game once it has a public release! >w<
this is all so inspiring to me!
wish you a continued smooth development!
And my project's been public for almost a year like I mentioned! There's a link to it in my Monster Mystery folder >vv< But it's obviously still in developmont of course ^vv^
Thank you for your kind words, I'm happy to hear it inspires you ^vv^
and dawww you welcomme!!
and ooh~ imma check out out now! o.o
I got a lil lagombi, and bought Narga as my partner! <:3
so are we like supposed to be small/younger monsters? just curious xp
It's really up to interpretation! You're at least smaller than some monsters, but whether or not you're younger is really up to your imagination ^vv^
I can't wait for the next chapters to release! ^^
love to see such ion put into a project! ;w; <3
I also found it odd that no ones made a PMD inspired game all this time, or maybe i just missed em all idk xp
But im so grateful this exists! keep up the awesome work! >w<
There are many many PMD romhacks, but yeah I can't recall ever seeing a MD-like fangame from the ground up like this, much less something like this that's monster hunter related >vv< After I started this, I saw people online have always been talking about wanting someone to make romhacks for stuff like digimon and monster hunter, but yeah... I've never really seen any started much less finished (to be fair I don't look that far into it tho >vv<) The only reason I built this from the ground up is because I know nothing about romhacking and I wanted to have features I wanted in with no limitations >vv<
Anyway, enough of my ramble-- Thanks again Blizzate, I'll keep working hard on it! :3
take good care! ^^
