Monster Crown Dev Announces Game’s DLC completion and that Sequel is Underway
Here we have yet another follow-up on a game from that list of alternates to Pokemon I made last year! Monster Crown is a monster-catching RPG with a dark-as-heck storyline and graphics similar to the game boy color era of Pokemon games. It was full of bugs but I still really enjoyed what I played. Since then, the dev has continued to work on it, making bug fixes and adding content. I really should revisit it.
Although maybe I should wait a little longer. Yesterday brought on a trio of announcements for the game. First, the dev has completed the free DLC, which is to be the last update for the game and will roll out in the future.
Second, there is a TCG coming for Monster Crown. I’m not sure how it will be distributed, but color me intrigued.
Third, and finally, Monster’s Crown’s creator announced Monster Crown 2. It’s being created with a full studio team this time around. The dev from Monster Crown is serving as a game producer on the project, but is delegating other details to others. I am so excited to see where the world of Monster Crown is going to go in the sequel, as the first game, while it had its issues, had so much potential.
Read the full announcement below!
Hi everyone,
Development of the long-awaited DLC is finally complete. There will be an announcement for the release date shortly, as well as images and teasers for the many new monsters and cool things included. I say DLC these days so casually I take for granted that it may not be clear, so just to be 100% clear, it's just a game update with a lot of new content, and is entirely free.
I wanted to share an announcement from our twitter today, which reiterates the above and gives a little update on the sequel project the rest of the Studio Aurum team is focused on:
===
Development of Monster Crown's DLC has completed and is in final testing. A release date will be announced soon to bring the final chapter of Monster Crown to players worldwide. This update will be brought to all platforms including some additional fixes and fun.
Another exciting development, the Monster Crown Official TCG will be sent to the printers on November 25th, bringing another project I'm honored to be involved in to life, featuring the world and monsters and characters you've all gotten to know over the past 2 years.
As our journey on Crown Island nears its close, many of you have been asking about the mysterious, in-development sequel, Monster Crown 2.
Monster Crown 2 (Project NEXT) has been in full scale development for 6 months now, featuring a dedicated team, each excelling in their craft and area of expertise - the builds I've been playing with are nothing short of breathtaking and clearly show Monster Crown in a whole new dimension of quality.
While the first screenshots will not be shared until the new year, please consider this our announcement of the project, and enjoy the teaser image created by the game's director, and my collaborative visionary on the project.
I'll be taking a step back from hands-on development and art, serving as this project?s producer, but Project NEXT is a studio-wide effort and I can promise you that this team will take Monster Crown to newer heights and satisfy your monster taming thirst in ways you've never seen before.
Thank you for two years of Monster Crown!!
