The Monster Breeder News

Hi Folks,

There will be a playtest starting presumably next Friday, and it will last for a week. The exact dates and times will be announced later. If you are interested, hit the sign-up button!

There are two tutorial videos about the two main parts of the game: monster breeding and arena combat. You can watch them both in-game and on the store page.

I need to implement some new features and will spend the remaining time testing and debugging the game, and hopefully, it will be ready for playtesting late next week.

Hi,

I uploaded a new tutorial video to the store page. It is explaining the game mechanics related to monster breeding, providing more insight into the game. Both the combat tutorial video and this one will be available in-game in the encyclopedia.

Hi Folks,

I am happy to announce that The Monster Breeder will be released on Steam, on the 19th of January, 2022!

Wishlist the game if you haven't already!

The inheritance algorithm, which is responsible for the inheritance of the internal and external characteristics of monsters, has been reworked. The player can cross different species within a given class. This requires Crossbreed Potion, which can be prepared by the alchemist or purchased.
If no such potion is available, the player can still crossbreed related species and can also cause random mutations using the Brew of Alteration. In the EA release, only monsters of the same class can be bred.

This class is the most adaptable of all. Their temperature tolerance is excellent, so they are not at a disadvantage in the sub-zero Ice Dome arena, where insectoids are slower and reptiles are weaker due to the cold. An additional strength of this class is their excellent endurance and high energy, which allows them to prevail in prolonged battles.



The Spiny Rat defends itself with spiny skin, while the Hellhound defends itself with fire skin, which inflicts damage to monsters that attack them. Carnivoras can claw, which is a faster attack than biting and therefore harder to defend against. Wolves can attack surrounded enemies simultaneously, while panthers can use their sprint ability to get out of difficult situations with lightning speed. The Snow Bear can attack multiple hexes with its ice breath ability. The Hyena is a powerful defender, if a friendly character on an adjacent hex cannot perform a counterattack, the Hyena will instead.
