Today I added differently colored taming disks to Tamamon.
They're purely cosmetic, so you can use whichever ones you like best!
The catch rate is influenced only by the berries you feed wild Tamamon beforehand.
I already have a lot of disk designs planned ✨

Hi hi, I’m alive 😅 I’ve been grinding on the demo. I’m targeting this summer/fall.
Here’s a quick look at something I added recently: a hotbar for quick swaps between party members, moves, and items.
I’ll be sharing more soon :)

More updates from prototype-greybox-land ⬜:
I added a Korok-style micro puzzle system to my monster taming game :)
Completing the puzzle earns mysterious feathers which can be spend to increase your critical catch rate. Here's a look.
What do you think?

I'm currently in gray-box land, prototyping the demo’s first area. 🚧
Mini-puzzle: four lit torches open the temple. 🔥 I realized there are tons of ways to implement this in #GodotEngine.
Godot devs: how would you code it?
Curious to know!

Hi :) Quick Tamamon update ✨ I've added:
- a swimming dash 🌊
- a climbing dash 🧗
- hopping of climbable terrain
I hope that this will allow for more interesting and engaging climbing and swimming sections. Please let me know what you think!

Bluesky I need your help!
It always annoyed me how items would simply hop on water like on a hard surface so I added some simple buoyancy physics. Does the effect look convincing enough for now?
Please let me know how you like it because I feel like it is missing something!

I always struggle to decide how much time to spend on making the game look nice for you guys so I created this basic prototyping tileset to test out and share level ideas. Please give me feedback! Does it look presentable enough to convey the vibe of my game?

Bluesky I need your help! After a break from my dream monster taming game I decided to pivot from a mobile platform release and instead focus on a PC release.
I already ported all the controls over to mouse and keyboard.
How do you like the resolution and aspect ratio so far?

This is the last interaction before the player leaves the tutorial cave they fell into at the start of the game :)
Next I would like to polish this prototype with nice pixel art, music and sound effects so I can release it as a demo :)

I've been finishing the taming tutorial lately. I think functionally it's done but I'm worried it might be a bit text-heavy. What do you think?
Please let me know!

I just finished designing the flow of the battle tutorial to teach the player all the fundamentals of Tamamon battles.
How do you like it? Please tell me!

Today I fixed a bug where your party would spread out weirdly when you started running. Now they always remain snug :)

This one is a little older but you can see here how taming monsters in the overworld works:
1. feeding with berries 🍒✨
2. Catching them with a taming disk 💽

Hi Bluesky! I will repost a few of the most recent updates of my monster taming game: Super Smash Bros is a big inspiration for the combat system: The combat is an interactive turn-based, ring-out-based system where monsters get knocked away further the less HP they have 🙂
