I'm sitting here at my desk while it snows outside. The kid is playing with his Hot Wheels, my wife is playing Picross S, and I've had way too many of those delicious Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes.
It is truly a perfect Christmas. Hope you and yours are having a wonderful holiday time!
Winter Sale!
The holidays mean many things to many people. For game developers on Steam, it means a constant stream of sales from Halloween through New Years.
On a related note, Village Monsters is on sale for 40% OFF for the duration of the Steam Winter Sale!
A release day update? At this time of year, at this time of day, on this website, localized entirely within this dev log?
Yes!
Well, sort of.
Last week I posted a large update to Kickstarter where I shared a bunch of project updates. This included a detailed week-by-week schedule leading up to v1.0's release.
You can head over there for the full details, but the key point is this: v1.0 is only weeks away.
The next couple weeks will be full of work and family time in equal measure, but after that we enter a period where the game could drop at any time. You could literally wake up on morning and bam, there's a brand new trailer and release day announcement on your timeline.
It's been a long... long journey, and I appreciate you all so much for sticking with me. I can promise you one thing: Village Monsters v1.0 will be worth the wait.
Hello everyone. I spent about an hour today on Christmas Day giving my best selling indie game Poggers here a little needed love and attention.
This update in particular was needed if you purchased the "Ten Million Colors" DLC that allows you to make Poggers about any color you can imagine with three sliders for the primary colors. The problem was that when you accidentally fell in the river with a colored rabbit, the water would be the color of your bunny instead of the intended blue color. I've redrawn the sprite animations for this update making for much cleaner, better looking river deaths. I've also added all new water droplets that will be seen when you accidentally drop Poggers in the river.
In this update, I've also made sure that if you pause the game that the game music stops. Remember that you can always turn the music on or off while playing simply by pressing the "M" key on your keyboard. Just remember "M for music" to turn the music on or off at any time.

Also, a few bug fixes:
Bug Fix: Can’t back to Nova palace Bug Fix: Bad bunny mask is still broken
We are aware of the current optimization issue and we already have a solution, and a patch should come in a few days.
And the heavy motion blur is probably related to the low framerate since we have already turned it off. Which means it should be fixed when optimization is better.
It's been a while. But I'm excited to release this small update for you today. With my vacation time, I've been able to work more on the game. Alright here we go:
New: - Added a tutorial map: This tutorial trains the player on the movement, jumping, and sprinting mechanics needed while playing the game (especially for the parkour area). Additionally, this new tutorial level teaches the player the mechanics of all of the in-game items. - New area in the map (subject to be expanded later): This new area is a safe spot meaning the cats can't get to you if you're in the area. - New cat passages: The cats also get some special areas they can go where you can't. Found inside the house, the cats have some new tricks up their sleeve. - New snow and winter effects: I felt that the game needed to be more festive and wintery. So enjoy the winter theme around the map until the end of February! - Added an option to turn off the snow effects: This will allow players to turn off the in-game snow effects if they wish. - Added a new Wintertime achievement: Have fun playing in the "Whisker Wonderland."
Bug Fixes: - Fixed an issue with Lila meowing too frequently. This caused her location to be revealed too often which gave the player an unfair advantage against her. - Fixed a bug with a looping elevator sound.
Known Issue: I'm aware that the new snow particles can get into the house however, after numerous attempts to fix it, I was unable to prevent this. I hope you don't mind the snow in the house ;3
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year everyone. Your support has been wonderful and I enjoy watching videos of you all playing the game :3
After the recent giveaway campaign, 1 million players added Press Any Button to their Steam libraries! Of course, not all of them played it yet, but it's a big thing for me anyway. I want to thank all of you who took interest in my game or recommended it to friends. After all, I made the game for players, and the fact that some players liked it is more than inspiring!
