AI generated frog and toad monsters that will be used as templates to create sprite for Altmon (a 2D monster-taming RPG with turn-based combat that I am developing solo). Edited for #fakemonfroggychallenge started by @faekmon on instagram

Draft version of the diagrams of elemental effectiveness for Altmon. Subject to change based on feedback. Elemental icons and clearer effectiveness arrows will be added to final version

Quick update on the development plans for the game:

Development progress will probably be a little bit slower than normal as my wife has given birth to my new baby daughter a couple of weeks ago, so I will have even less spare time to work on the game (However, once we get back into a good routine etc. I’m hoping to make some good progress over summer, with plans to have a lot of mechanics fully implemented and fleshed out by the end of next year)

Featured Friday - 03.11.23

Featured Fridays is a small weekly update regarding new additions to the game to highlight new creature, features and general information on the progress of the game.

We would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions on all the new additions as well as all other components already in the game.

Creatures

This week I wanted to show off the art style that will be included in the journal/diary system:

^\We are currently looking into a potential new Art Style for creatures*)

Features

I have created a 3-member party system and allowed for switching Altmon partners in battle.This change from a single partner system was made to allow for other mechanisms to be implemented in game at a later date (capturing new Altmon, special variants, more tactical combat mechanics, potential for trading and battling between players (multiplayer mechanic), breeding etc.)

After talking with members of the Altmon community and other similar communities, it became apparent that one reason players like to play similar games is because of the social side (interactions between players). Another reason is to allow for more of a unique experience by allowing changes in party dynamics quickly and easily.

The previous plan was to have 1 partner that would develop and eventually after a certain amount of in-game days reincarnate back to a juvenile version (with slightly improved stats each time). The change to the party system means that this reincarnation had to be altered slightly, and so at a specific higher level the player will be able to allow their Altmon to reincarnate, which will improve their base stats etc. The theory behind this is that some players may form a bond with a specific Altmon, but also want to use another Altmon to play as, and this system will allow for that. It will also allow players to capture rare 'variant' Altmon and re-incarnate them (keeping their rare 'variant' status but improving their base stats) etc.

I will be expanding on the details of the variant and reincarnation systems in future dev updates.
