Monster Sanctuary Update 1.1

Monster Sanctuary - Sersch

Dear Monster Keepers,

We are happy to bring you the first major post-launch update for Monster Sanctuary!
This update is launching today for Steam. For consoles, we’re still in the submission process and the Release is delayed until April 20th for those Platforms. We are very sorry for that and we hope to be able to deliver future updates on consoles without delay.

New Game Plus

All Monsters and many items from the chosen save file will be transferred to your new save file.
Monsters are reset to Level 1, but keep their Shift.
Equipment upgrades are removed.
Items that are not carried over: Crystal Shards, Craft Materials, Food, Key/Story Items, Level 40 Badges, Craft & Reward Boxes, Battle Items. These items are converted to gold on the new save file.
Inactive Monsters level up with your active ones until they reach their level from the previous save file.
Explore abilities can't be used until you encounter Monsters which can use them.
Similarly, you can only donate Monsters and eggs to the army which you have already encountered.
Some tutorial texts are skipped.

Casual & Master difficulty modes

We are adding two new difficulty modes to Monster Sanctuary (with the current difficulty of the game taking the role of the "Normal" difficulty that is chosen by default). They are called "Casual" and "Master" mode.

Here are the details of how these two new modes work:

On Casual, wild Monsters have less health & do less damage. In Keeper Encounters, enemy Monster equipment upgrade level is reduced by 1.
On Master, wild Monsters have more health, do more damage, and have many additional skills. In Keeper Encounters, enemy Monster equipment upgrade level is increased by 1.
The difficulty can be changed at any time by going to the options menu. It can be changed mid-game.

The new Casual mode aims to alleviate the difficulty curve of our game. However, it's only a slight decrease in difficulty, which means that players will still need to engage with our skill systems and think about their strategy in order to succeed.

The new Master mode was primarily designed with New Game Plus in mind. It is balanced towards providing veteran players, who have loads of additional options available to them thanks to NG+, a new, harder challenge. While it is technically possible to beat the game on Master mode with a regular save file, we highly recommend using this mode in conjunction with New Game Plus (preferably using an optimized team of six Shifted Monsters).

New PVP Matchmaking

This update also comes with a variety of changes aimed towards making the PVP mode more enjoyable! For one, it comes with a new PVP Matchmaking system.
Here are the nitty-gritty details of how the new matchmaking works:

The matchmaking takes the level of your 3 highest Monsters in the party into consideration (to prevent the potential abuse of having a low level backline).
It also takes into consideration the average equipment upgrade level of those Monsters.
Outside of a certain level range (based on Monster level + equipment level), players are not able to match.
The matchmaking also takes your PVP rating into account.
Initially, the matchmaking will only let players within a certain rating range match against each other. After a certain time in queue, you are put into "extended search", allowing you to match against others who are also in "extended search".
Players who have a rating of 1300 or above start in "extended search" by default (to prevent higher ranks of the ladder of not finding opponents).
You're also able to manually configure when your game goes into "extended search" (instantly/30sec/1min/2min/3min/5min/never).

New PVP Season

With this first update patch, we’ll also start a new PVP Season in Monster Sanctuary. This means that all players are starting in Bronze league again, which will allow you to once again get rewards for ascending to the higher PVP leagues.

This update features many balancing changes of Monsters, skill trees, and skills - almost all of which were made explicitly with the PVP meta in mind. We hope that these changes will shake up the current team compositions and open up new competitive options.

Monster Sanctuary Preview of Update 1.1

Monster Sanctuary - Ntonisthier

Hello, Monster Keepers!

We have a lot of news to share with you since our last update.

Post-Launch Update 1.1.

The release of our first planned post-launch update is sadly delayed until March. We apologize for this delay - but we are still aiming to release this update on all platforms at once.

Apart from bug fixes (many of which for both the console versions as well as the PC version) and many balancing changes aimed to bring you a better PVP experience, this update will also include a few new features. On the topic of PVP, this update will also add better matchmaking that will attempt to match you against players of a similar Monster level and PVP rating. You are also able to configure this setting for yourself inside the game.

New Game Plus

The first of the two big new features coming to Monster Sanctuary: New Game Plus mode! This mode is unlocked once you have completed the main story content of the game at least once. When you choose NewGame+ from the starting menu, you have to select any of your existing save games - this will determine the extra Monsters and items available to you at start. You can then start your new save file on the same save slot or on any other save slot.

All Monsters and many items from the chosen save file will be transferred to your new save file. The restrictions are as follows:

- Monsters are reset to Level 1, but keep their Shift.

- Equipment upgrades are removed.

- You keep all items except Crystal Shards, Craft Materials, Food, Key/Story Items, Level 40 Badges, Craft & Reward Boxes.

- Explore abilities can't be used until you encounter Monsters which can use them.

We will unveil the full details of this game mode on the release of the new patch!

Casual & Master difficulty modes

We are adding two new difficulty modes to Monster Sanctuary (with the current difficulty of the game taking the role of the "Normal" difficulty that is chosen by default).

For the regular difficulty of the game, we aimed to design the difficulty so that players are required to choose the Monsters on their team and their skills very carefully. Finding good Monster and team builds requires a lot of deliberation, experimentation, and time (most of which is spent on the Monster skill tree menus). We realized that a portion of our player base does not enjoy this type of experience and instead expected something more in line with a traditional Monster catching RPG. The new Casual mode aims to alleviate the difficulty curve of our game. However, it's only a slight decrease in difficulty, which means that players will still need to engage with our skill systems and think about their strategy in order to succeed.

On the other hand, we quickly realized that the game was much too easy when played on New Game+. Having the ability to start with just about any six Monsters, with Shifts unlocked, a large selection of gear ready to optimally equip each Monster to from the beginning - all these factors made especially the early game a walk in the park. So for one, we decided to slightly increase the difficulty level on New Game+ by default - but beyond that, we also decided to add a new Master mode which is meant to provide a new, harder challenge for veteran players. While it is technically possible to beat the game on Master mode with a regular save file, we highly recommend using this mode in conjunction with New Game+ (preferably using an optimized team of six Shifted Monsters from the game).

Hardcover Monster Journal

We have a quick progress update on the status of the hardcover Monster Journals: We are expecting their arrival very soon! As we receive them, we will be shipping them out over time. They should be arriving in your hands by the end of February or early March.

Also, for those who missed out on them, we will put up a certain number of the hardcover Journals for sale online.

Physical Switch Version

We are excited to announce that we will be releasing a physical version of the game for the Nintendo Switch! It will be released by Limited Run Games. There will be a regular version and a Collector's Edition, the content of which we will reveal at a later point. These physical versions will be available later this year, but we cannot specify the exact date yet.

Monster Sanctuary Roadmap

Monster Sanctuary - Ntonisthier

Hello, Monster Keepers!

The game had quite a successful launch, and we received a lot of positive feedback, which we are really happy about. Of course we also received a lot of suggestions for possible improvements and criticism, which we are aware of. Today we wanted to share with you a very rough roadmap we have planned for Monster Sanctuary (which we are currently looking to confirm with our publisher).

Update 1.1

We had a bit of rest during the holidays, but not too much: We are already working on the next update for the game. Ideally we will be able to release it at some point in February.

Difficulty Settings: We plan to add two additional difficulty settings: ‘Casual’ and ‘Master’. You can swap between all three difficulties freely during a playthrough.

Casual: We received quite a lot of feedback with some players struggling, especially with Keeper Duels or the dreaded Abandoned Tower. We aimed the game to be challenging, but we still want to not completely exclude a certain player base from enjoying the game. The casual mode will slightly reduce the difficulty for wild encounters and Keeper Battles, but will not make those a walk in the park in any way.
Master: This difficulty is mainly intended for New Game+. It will make the game still quite challenging despite having the tools/advantages of playing on New Game+.

New Game+: You’ll be able to start a ‘New Game+’ using an existing save game, keeping all your Monsters, equipment, and most of the items. The monsters will be rolled back to level 1, will keep their shifts, but will not be able to use their explore abilities until you meet a Monster in the game that possesses that ability, to prevent sequence breaks. All equipment upgrades will be removed.

Matchmaking Improvements: We’re happy about the increased popularity of PvP and plan to add improved matchmaking - you will be matched against opponents that are in a certain average Monster level range to yours. Additionally, it will also look for both players to be in a certain ranking range. If it can’t find an opponent of similar ranking in a certain time, it will extend that criteria. We also plan to have the ability to challenge your friends from the Steam Friend list, but are not sure if we’ll be able to have it for this update already.

Fixing Disconnect -> Loss issue: On consoles, when a player disconnects in multiplayer, both players receive a loss. We are working on a fix for this issue.

Fixing Achievements issues: On XBox and Game Pass, some players encounter an issue that some of their achievements did not unlock. We are working on a fix for this issue.

Version Parity: We plan to have this update out on all platforms at the same time.

Future Updates

This is a list of features we plan to add in future updates.

Player Customization: A feature we promised in the Kickstarter, but could not quite have in the game in time for the full release: The player will be able to choose between a certain amount of different player sprites and different color schemes for each of those. We’ll add some more secret chests here and there in Monster Sanctuary where you’ll find those outfits.

Legendary Keeper Monuments: Certain Backers of our Kickstarter will receive Legendary Keeper monuments found in the game.

Minimap Improvements: Add the ability to put markers on the minimap and also have it display some additional information by itself.

Speedrun Options: Add a Timer, add even faster combat animation speed options, add possibility to skip cut scenes (Those will be available for normal gameplay as well).

Quality of Life features: We received a lot of suggestions for quality of life improvements and we will look into adding some of those into the game over the course of the next updates. Here is a list of the top priority ones:

Be able to inspect all Monsters, not just the enemies. Additionally, inspecting will display all buffs/debuffs a Monster currently has.
Sorting Monsters
Possibility to take back assigned skill points while still in the skill menu
Improved Monster donation (warning when donating Champion Monsters, be able to donate multiple Monsters at a time)
Display the number of items already possessed when buying additional ones
Option to increase all wild encounter levels

That's all for now

That would be all that's on our radar for the time being. However, we also really wanted to use this opportunity to wish all Monster Keepers happy holidays!

Dec 8, 2020

Monster Sanctuary is now available with new launch content!

Monster Sanctuary - Greg_Team17

Monster Keepers and Monster Keepers of the future, the big day is here! Monster Sanctuary has officially launched and is now available on Steam!

As the latest heir in a long line of Monster Keepers, players must explore and traverse a rich variety of environments and stop the growing and mysterious threat to the harmonious peace between monsters and humanity itself. Featuring deep and strategic gameplay including 3 vs 3 turn-based combat, players can battle wild monsters, NPC keepers, and even online opponents in PvP battles, using a variety of elemental attacks and tactics to succeed.

During its time in Steam Early Access, moi rai games and Team17 have introduced several updates that expand the engaging world available to players, so that Monster Sanctuary launches with over 100 monsters (including 16 community designed creatures) to discover and tame across 13 areas. New areas, such as The Magma Chamber and Underworld, are just some of the mysterious environments added over the past year, and even include content created by the community.

Today’s launch introduces further content for players to experience as they embark on their epic Monster Sanctuary adventure, including the Abandoned Tower, and an additional (secret) area. 14 new monsters also join the roster, alongside optional endgame Champions; Ultimate abilities for monsters above level 40; unique equipment; and further balancing changes. One of the new monsters is the Changeling, a versatile monster with the ability to copy moves from allies and enemies alike.

Here's everything you need to know about Monster Sanctuary's additional launch content:

Abandoned Tower

Nobody in centuries has set foot in this derelict tower. It houses the most dangerous Monsters of the Sanctuary. There are four new Monsters to collect, many of which Occult-type and capable of dishing out deadly attacks. You will also meet again some of the Champion Monsters that you've fought in the past.
This is also where the story of Monster Sanctuary comes to its conclusion. Don't worry - you can still continue your save file after finishing the main story. You'll only be able to enter the Abandoned Tower after finishing every other area's story arc (except for the new secret area).

New Secret Area

There's another new area that was added to the Monster Sanctuary in this update! We don't want to give too much away at this point, since it's a super-secret optional area - meaning you can complete the game without setting foot here (unlike every other area in the game). It does contain four new Monsters, however, which can't be found anywhere else.
We'll only give you this hint: go to the bottom left room in the Magma Chamber, which is very close to the entrance to the Stronghold Dungeon.

Post-Game Content

We made sure to have some decent post-game content ready for you as well! This is what awaits you after finishing the story of the game:
The quest to become the Keeper Master: To get the highest rank in the order of Monster Keepers, you will have to find and defeat every single Champion Monster in the game! Some of them are only available after finishing the story. After the end credits, there will be a new topic in the Talk-menu to guide you.
There are five optional late-game Champion Monsters to fight, some of which can already be encountered before finishing the main story. They are hidden throughout the Monster Sanctuary. They are designed to be much more challenging than other Champion Monsters in the game, always being at the maximum level of 40 and using three actions in a turn instead of two.
Once you are Keeper Master, you gain access to Eternity's End: a very special area at the top of the tower in Keepers' Stronghold. A set of four challenging fights await you here, each one giving you a unique reward!

New Rooms to explore

With the last batch of Monsters, a couple of new exploration abilities were also added to the game. So we added new rooms and treasures throughout the game that can only be discovered with these late-game exploration abilities! Some can also be discovered with abilities that you can gain in the Underworld and the Mystical Workshop.

Patch Notes

Infinity Arena monsters start to appear shifted (one from level 70+ on, two from level 130+ on, all three from level 160+ on)
