Building a Village, 07/01/2018 – Fishtincts
Welcome to another weekly developer diary of Village Monsters. It’s been a productive week over here at Village Monsters HQ. Maybe it’s because my area has escaped the heat that as seemingly conquered the rest of the world. Maybe it’s because my new developer pipeline is really starting to shine. Maybe I just had a lot more Red Bull than usual. I don’t rightly know, but I’m sure I shouldn’t question it. Let’s take a peek!
Ask any master fisherman what his greatest tool is and he won’t talk to you about lures, hooks, or rods. No. He’ll instead talk about that nearly indescribable fisher instinct, or fishtincts as they’re called by the masters. These fishstincts are now finally represented in the game. A special icon is displayed and a distinct noise is played when it’s time to snag that tasty fish, and you’ll somehow intrinsically know whether your timing was too late, too early, or if the line broke.
The Historical Society has been renamed the Library, though it’s more than just a semantics change. You’ll have to see for yourself the next time you visit.
Quick – what’s the village currency called? You don’t know, do you? Of course not! I barely do and I created the damn things. Well it doesn’t matter now as they’ve been replaced by silver coins known as Skull Silvers, more commonly referred to as skulliver or even just skullies.
You can earn skulliver by pursuing hobbies, helping villagers or working part time, and they’re used to pay for everything from your mortgage to a hot drink in Overflow.
Making friends with your (monstrous) neighbors has long been an important feature of Village Monsters, and this week was the first time in awhile that I tweaked how it works. You can now gain “Bonus Friendship” for actively maintaining your relationship with a villager by talking with them every day. Think of it like a combo streak: the more days in a row you talk to them the faster your friendships grows. The catch is that this bonus resets if you break the streak. You’re allowed to miss a day or two – I get it, we’re all busy – but after that your streak is reset. You’ll never lose friendships, but don’t let that keep you from being a good friend, human!

Hello Villagers!
Welcome to another weekly developer diary of Village Monsters. It’s been a productive week over here at Village Monsters HQ.

Maybe I just had a lot more Red Bull than usual. I don’t rightly know, but I’m sure I shouldn’t question it. Let’s take a peek!
The Old Man and the Sea

Skulliver!

How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters

Begone, Bugs!
- Fixed an issue where a villager’s intro dialogue wasn’t triggering correctly
- Time now pauses while the main menu (or your journal) are open
- Fixed some goofy problems when sprites changed states

Have you ever wondered what happens inside the world of an abandoned video game? All those NPCs with their artificial lives...what happens to them after the game is powered off for that final time?
Village Monsters is a relaxing life sim game set in one such world.
You play as someone booting up the game for the first time in decades only to discover that it is nothing like you remember.
The monsters that were once enemies have thrown away their weapons and have settled down in a peaceful village of their own making.
Stranger still, they're inviting you to come join them.
![]()
At its core, Village Monsters is a lowkey, relaxing village life experience.
There are no farms to manage or meters to monitor, and on an average day you'll have complete freedom to do whatever you want.
This is a game that celebrates leisure, so you'll find no shortage of activities and diversions to discover each day.

The world of Village Monsters may be digital, but that doesn't stop it from feeling alive.
From sunrise to sunset, you'll find a world that changes all around you. Sparrows fly overhead during the day while owls patrol the night. Villagers hang out at home while it it's raining and go shopping for new furniture after it clears.
There are countless little details for you to discover as you explore the game and its simulated systems. In fact, you'll be frequently encouraged to experiment with these systems to see how they interact with you - and each other.

The premise of exploring an abandoned video game serves as the jumping off point for creating an interesting and unique story.
The village has always been a peaceful sanctuary, but the world outside has been showing increasing evidence of disarray.
Glitches and faults have become more common, and there are even rumors that entire areas have gone missing.
It's as if the digital foundation itself is collapsing, and as an external force you may be the only one capable of finding out what's going on.
