Progress Update: September - October 2021
Hunter's Dream
The Hunters Dream is a new holy-class weapon that fires a barrage of deadly stakes. It's fairly slow fire rate and large spread make it tough to use at range, but it can be especially devastating when combined with the Dragons Breath relic that adds a burning status effect. Diamond Cutter
The Diamond Cutter is a rapid-firing beam-class weapon that fires richotteing shards of superheated crystal. Its not particularly accurate, and overheats quickly, but is great in tight spaces.
Enchanted Candelabra Item
The Enchanted Candelabra item grants the player a flaming trail of fire whenever they dash. Its very useful for boxing in weaker enemies to finish them off, and can also be used defensively to create breathing room if your weapons need time to cooldown. Meteorite Fragment Relic
This mysterious, extraterrestrial relic offers players the ability to drop a row of exploding space rocks upon dashing. Its very handy for wearing down tougher enemies even as you seek to find a better position. Alongside the new content, I also managed to completely finish the airship HUB area outside of some minor polish and its supporting NPCs that still need to be finalized. Along with everything shown here, the game is also progressing well in various other ways, both large and small. As always, we really do appreciate all of your continued support and patience throughout the games development. Thank you for reading, and please stay safe and take care. Craig

Hi everyone, Since the last update, weve been focused on finishing up all of those new items, relics, and weapons that were previously shown. Since quite a few of them use brand-new mechanics and systems that didnt exist in the game, it was quite a task working through everything. Were now getting very close to drawing a line through the loot aspect of the game, which feels like a great milestone to reach :) Heres a sneak peak at some of the new content weve been working on. Certain things still need final art, VFX, and general tuning in some cases, but its still nice to have even more permanent abilities and upgrades to work with as you find a play-style that best suits you.

- 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.
