Developer's Log: Volume 1

☯Hello everyone!😈

Welcome to the Twilight Monk Team’s first Community Update!
Follow along monthly and get an exclusive, detailed look at development progress on the upcoming Kung-Fu fantasy releasing in 2025!

March has been a busy month, we’ve been working hard on development for the past year and are finally arriving at a point where the team can work back from the beginning and polish content. It’s all getting to a point where we are ready to share longer-length video clips, so stay up to date as we’ll be sharing all this and more in future community updates!

This month we’ve achieved most of our goals for polishing Chapter 1, which focuses on Central Speria and Crescent Isle.


Pictured above is Crescent Isle, the main hub in the game that you’ll be returning to throughout your journey. As you progress in the game, more townsfolk will move in and shops will open up, too!


Stop by Bighead’s shop to pick up essential items.

The major dungeons will be the Dojo Path and the Catacombs, an area that lies beneath the Rotting Burg.

Dojo Path:


As you can see we are utilizing weather elements to create a different mood for this dungeon, something we’ll be playing with in future dungeons as well.

Rotting Burg:


Rather than rain, in the RottingBurg we have a misty fog hanging low to the ground. In the distance you can make out remnants of the crumbling city, too.

The Catacombs:


Littered with undead, traps, and even illusory walls - there’s as much to discover in this dungeon as there is danger.

We’ve got other items that are not quite ready to show, but here’s what we’ve been making headway with this month!
  • Refining of the in-game monster book
  • Opening cutscene (complete!), other cutscenes in development
  • Polishing of boss fights
  • Teleporting function between dungeons via the “Teleportation Tree”
  • BBQ in the main hub (!?)
  • More fog and weather effects (this has dramatically improved the mood of each environment!)
  • Enhanced animation of NPCs and dialog scenes for more immersive gameplay
  • Details to the UI of the world map for easier playability
