I just finished playing the Beastieball early access and loved every second of it. Here's the team I used for my playthrough. Can't wait for the full release!

[ID: a banner decorated by three creatures made of blue quartz with pointy, metallic legs. they range from small and simple to large and more intricate, giving a sense of progression. beside them is written: "Charmers verse on Neocities, visit us at charmersverse.neocities.org" end ID]

the charmersverse website exists to document the world of charmers, which i have been working on since i was a teenager. it has monsters called "denizens" and strange, dreamlike worlds called "zones". it would mean a lot to me if you gave it a look. i hope you enjoy.

Ever since I got more into monster fucking, I've been able to repurpose so many old OCs I was planning on selling and were collecting dust.

Ah hey, that’s awesome. Sometimes you make up OCs and they don’t quite fit in the story or you move on from the story, but those OCs can still have a use and a purpose and be used somewhere more fitting for them.

I don’t like to let go of OCs that often. I just got a bunch of them wrangling around in my head. It’s honestly only grown since getting into monster fucking. I have more OCs than ever. I cannot keep track of them all.

But it’s fun when one suddenly re-enters my mind and I get to remember them and think about them again. That’s a fun feeling

Remember when I said before people should try playing, shouting out, and supporting other monster-catching games so Pokemon wouldn't have a psuedo-monopoly over the genre?

I didn't want TPC to actually consider creating an actual monopoly over the genre through patenting BS!

I just wanted my favorite niche monster catching series to get more of a mainstream spot light and have lesser games in the same genre get more attention and have the biggest name in the genre get out of its' current dark age, not have any chances for improvement be dashed entirely!!!

Yo sorry I been quiet while I experience the horrors but here’s some quick inks of some mad scientist player characters from @bogleech ‘s Mortasheen!

Any complaints can be directed to my goofy ass players

I’ve just finished watching its latest video and I have to share this project with you all:

Ladies and gentlemen, go fucking watch this playlist. It’s a collection of concepts for a monster collector game called Apocryphal, which can only be described as “Pokemon if it was an eldritch horror game that took place in the Victorian era.”

In what is a surprise to absolutely no one, this concept fucking rocks.

Have i ever ranted about Jade Cocoon on this blog before? It was such a wildly ambitious little game, between jumping on board the monster collector train so soon after Pokemon, having Studio Ghibli's Katsuya Kondo do the art, and to top it all off having the really fascinating monster fusion and pedigree system.

See, you could fuse monsters and get a mix of elemental types, stats, and a body and skin type(similar to Monster Rancher) AND there were model traits that would be merged as well. So on the one hand, you can fuse a dog and an ogre, and get a dog body with an ogre skin, or an ogre with dog skin BUT you would also get either a dog body starting to stand upright, or an ogre body starting to get on all 4s, and if you were to continue fusing those body types into that fusion, the posture would also shift according to the pedigree.

Because each monster could actually keep track of 3 distinct generations, 2 parent monsters, and 2 pairs of grandparents whose distinctive features would remain active in the monster's build, until pushed out of the pool by newer fusions. AND those features all have a youth and adult phase and grow into them accordingly with leveling up.

So for example, the first half of the first dungeon had 5 basic monsters...

And those 5 monsters could make 25 distinct fusions, including purebreds.

And technically, in the English version, each monster in each dungeon also has a less common color/elemental swap....

So ignoring redundant genetics from different parentage that's still 89 distinct fusions. And that's just fusing purebred wild monsters. ALL of these 89 distinct monsters can be further fused to make new fusions unlike anything already shown. And like I said, that's just the monsters in the first half of the first dungeon. And there are 136 basic monsters, purebred, named, and obtainable in the wild throughout the game(admittedly that's including recolors)

If you've never played it, and have a healthy tolerance for PS1 3d game jank and a love of cool monster collection games, I really cannot recommend Jade Cocoon heavily enough. It's a genuinely unique experience in the genre, and that's without even touching on the story.

some more creachers, served alongside doses of lore to complement them

Playing another new spectrobes game! The budget for this game is so much higher than the last two.

Also, has spectrobes secretly been Stargate all along??
