What We Learned from the Beta?

Hey Seekers,

Last week, we completed our first closed beta in the Nanomon Discord. Thank you to all the beta testers who played and give us plenty of informative feedback. Today, I want to share what we learned from all that testing!

First, though, let me share something new! Some new key art to support the development of Nanomon! What are your thoughts on it?


[h2]General Thoughts[/h2]
Overall, testers had positive thoughts about the beta. Because the demo is out-dated a bit, many people felt that the beta was so much better and that they can’t wait for the full release of the game.

[h2]Important Feedback[/h2]
Obviously, collecting feedback from players is the whole point of testing out the game. Oscar has been looking through the feedback and already implemented some of the suggestions people have asked! Here are just a few that really caught my attention and for sure some things we will be reviewing.
  • A way to lock the window position so people don’t accidentally keep dragging the game around when doing other things
  • A tracker to see what mons you have gotten
  • The focus mode was a great addition to the beta
  • The exp grind wasn’t too bad if starting the day with them but it was rough if getting a new mon mid exploration.
  • The foraging and digging minigames are fun and tactile, but get a little tedious to do after a while


[h2]Bugs[/h2]
The beta wasn’t perfect and there were a few bugs that cropped up with playtesters. We’re thankful for the tester reporting these and will work on killing these bugs. Just for fun, let’s take a look at a couple of them!

[h3]Some Spelling Mistakes[/h3]


[h3]Text error[/h3]


[h3]Rerolling poop size and amount…[/h3]


While these aren’t all the bugs that they have reported, we are taking the time to discover the cause and fix the issues while hopefully not causing 3 more.

Thank you playtesters

Hey Seekers,

We have just wrapped up the community beta testing! Thank you everyone who signed up and playtested the beta of Nanomon.

We have been collecting the feedback from the playtesters and will be using that to guide development and ideas going forward to release!

The feedback from the testers have been very positive and we are excited to show off more in the future!

Community Voted Nanomon | Part 2

Hey Seekers,

The community in the Nanomon Discord has finished voting on which Nanomon they preferred in different face offs! I talked about a few of the winners in last month’s dev log which you can check out here! There are five new winners of Nanomon slotted in!

[h3]Drac-in-a-Box[/h3]
Drac-in-a-Box is a Spooky-type and that bat is hiding some goodies in that coffin. It could be sweet candy or maybe something a bit more terrifying.


[h3]Stitch fix[/h3]
Stitch fix is a Magical-type and they are loved by many children as a soft nanomon. They have been known to defeat many bullies to protect the child.


[h3]Golato[/h3]
Golato is an Italian-type and they're ready to smack down their enemies! I'm not sure if they are part giant Piñata or fully made of gelato?


[h3]Meat tooth[/h3]
Meat tooth is a Wild-type with SUPER sharp teeth that can slice through almost anything. Do not stand in between them and food - or you know...you will end up being the meal.


[h3]Biblically Accurate Angel[/h3]
Biblically Accurate Angel is an Italian-type with very powerful magic to decimate any foe that stands in their way. Please do not anger the powerful angel. I have to make sure they don’t damage anything or it comes out of my paycheck…


Fun fact with these polls: The community surprised all of us and actually managed to cause a draw between Meat tooth and Golato.
