Mops & Mobs: A Sweeping Dungeon Novel News

[p][/p][p]Mops & Mobs is a dungeon adventure still in the making. Jana and Friedrich from Rat King are talking about their intentions as developers, what inspired the game and its characters, and what awaits players in the upcoming game.[/p][p][/p]

[p]After a very long silence we finally released a new-ish demo of Mops & Mobs! While the story and level of the demo is largely the same as before, there's now combat gameplay. It's a non-demanding card game, and like everything it's still a WIP (and probably will be until release). We'd like to know what you think of it, so with this new demo we also added a new feedback form, but of course you can also write in the forum.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Other added content includes:[/p]

• [p]saving and loading (only one slot for now)[/p]
• [p]several new settings, for changing the FOV, reducing movement animations, and more[/p]
• [p]improved decoration mode[/p]
• [p]improved dialog visuals[/p]
• [p]improved in-game map[/p]
• [p]optimized performance[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]We also replaced the art for Odette, one of the inhabitants of the dungeon - so currently she looks a bit different from the rest of the lot. This is because over time we will upgrade all the characters, which is a longer process, and wanted to showcase it already.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As we started full production some time ago, there are actually much more internal updates. We're now in the process of building more levels and implementing the full story. And while the gameplay of Mops & Mobs is "complete" feature-wise, every area - combat, decoration mode, dialogues, UI, etc - is still being expanded and polished. There's always a lot to do![/p][p]Don't forget to wishlist to support the development and follow us on Mastodon, BlueSky and/or Discord![/p]

The dungeon gates to the underworld open up once again! Today marks the start of production, as we secured regional funding to continue our dungeon novel Mops & Mobs.

In Mops & Mobs you step into the boots of the dungeon's janitor — a role that turns out to be far more heroic than it sounds. You'll befriend monsters, decorate somber hallways, clean up what’s left of overambitious adventurers and yes, uncover dark secrets along the halls.

About a year ago we uploaded a first little demo to check if players would enjoy serving dungeon monsters and utilize a variety of gameplay elements like quests and a decoration mode. In short: lots of you did! Meanwhile, we had a (pre-)production baby that, well, kept us from producing. Instead, we focused on finding additional teammates to work with us and secure some capital. Of course, we also worked on our demo, developed the story further and added a very important feature to Mops & Mobs: a card-based mini-game to fight critters and clean-up in the dungeon.

Over the next year we're going to share insights, more about our characters, details of the gameplay and how the story will continue.

Somewhere between dungeon crawler and visual novel and satire we've got upcoming game Mops & Mobs: A Sweeping Dungeon Novel—release date to be announced, demo available now. In it you're the janitor for a fantasy dungeon populated by weird monsters, often-raided by adventurers, and lorded over by some kind of Dungeon Master who, it seems, is well-loved but not particularly capable...
