Progress Update - March 2021
Working at a higher resolution for all of the games UI elements allows us to strike a much better balance between readability and aesthetics, and creates a much better separation between game elements, and UI elements.
Weve also added much needed visual indicators to the HUD such as HUD frame shake and flash overlay when taking damage, damage value preview indicators to the HP bar, and a weapon overheat animation. The new "Deceased" reaper overlay also adds a not so subtle (and pretty metal ) indicator to teammates who have died. Equipped weapons also now have an icon to show their class.
For the games core UI, weve gone with a fairly clean, simple approach that still incorporates aspects of the games Victorian theme.

A pack(pride?) of Ruperts illustrating the new color selection feature
New default, win, and defeated character portraits We still have plenty to do on the UI front, but once its wrapped up, well be in a much better position to start adding more new content and really start pushing towards finishing the game. Thank you for reading, and please stay safe and take care of yourselves. Craig

Hi everyone, As mentioned in the previous update, weve been working on improving and finishing all aspects of the games UI and UX.

- Monsters and Monocles [Linux] [188 M]
Monsters & Monocles is a frantic, Victorian steampunk themed twin-stick shooter all about using teamwork and heavy weaponry to battle the hordes of evil. A naive occult collector has unknowingly unleashed a great evil that is spreading across the globe, and it’s up to you and a team of quirky paranormal investigators to find the source of this dark energy and blast it back to where it came from.
Take on the challenge solo, or play with up to 4 players online or locally. Your team shares a single pool of lives so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades, and watch each other’s backs.
Search out and use powerful weapons to aid you in battle like the blunderbuss, stake launcher and the crumpet cannon - a steampunk toaster that fires weaponized crumpets.
Find and equip relics to customize your weapons and add new abilities to match your play style, and upgrade them by looting chests and destroying enemies.
Each level is procedural so you and your comrades will be faced with unique enemy placement, traps, secrets and objectives each time you play. Your trusty airship the HMS Scone acts as your hub and lets you gear up before taking on challenging levels like the haunted mansion, snowy Victorian streets and a cursed Pharaoh’s tomb. Each area ends with a fearsome boss encounter, such as a demonic chimney sweep or a giant cyclops skull.
