- I urge you to read this - An important update from the developer of Nuumonsters - 31 October 2024
I'm not the same dev I was when I started Nuumonsters, nor even Dokimon. My adventure starts today I urge you to read, skim-read, or even just glaze over the images in this Kickstarter update : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yana-kosaka/dokimon-montamer-maker/posts/4239317 I think this update makes it extremely clear how much I've grown as a developer, and honestly, as a person too, in the last few years. I'm looking forward to the next step forward, for Nuumonsters, for Dokimon, MonTamer Maker, and any projects I stumble myself into in the future. Thank you always for supporting me ♡
- Huge AnnouncementーNuumonsters Hiatus is over as Dokimon Development Wraps up! - 15 September 2024
Hey guys! Real quick, just wanted to say here that Dokimon is live on Steam. This is the big brother to Nuumonsters. You can see a new trailer, info on the release data, and some juicy deets in the "About this game" section. Go check it out! Click the image above to learn more! I'm currently trying to work something out to give users who bought Nuumonsters a discount for Dokimon, via some sort of "Complete the Set" bundle.. or something? I'm not sure how it works, so probably I will have to spend some time studying, but if it's possible, this is definitely something I want to do for all of you that supported me in my beginner programmer stage! For those that don't know, Nuumonster was on hiatus for a while because I have to basically remake the game from scratch. Thus, I went off on an adventure to get better at making games. Did you know? I made a whole engine, where you can make your…
- Bugs Patch + Steam Achievements Fixed. Improvement of some systems - 4 November 2023
Hey guys!! Long time no see :D I put the game on a big sale on a whim for Halloween, and we got wayyyy more sales than I ever could have expected! To honor that, I came back and finally made the grueling journey I needed to to make some fixes on this game. It's been well over a year since Nuumonsters was last updated, last time I worked on this game the Steam achievements weren't working, and then GameMaker changed how you do steam stuff. After finally converting my project to use the new system, I was running into an error that was stopping the game from launching at all, so I've been unable to send this update out until now :( It turned out being an issue with POWERSHELL of all things, if you can believe it! Regardless, I'm now back older and wiser, and the game is fixed, and at this time there is no bugs or issues I am aware of. I hope you can continue to show me your love and suppor…
- EXP Balance + Full Menu Conversion to Keyboard/Gamepad Controls (No More Mouse) - 21 September 2022
In this updated we finally, finally finished converting all of the menus to remove the need for using the mouse. You can now comfortably play all of the game with one hand on the keyboard, or on your gamepad without having to move around a little mouse cursor with your control stick. We also spent a lot of time balancing out the experience system, and with some help I believe we've finally nailed it. To combat the lack of an experience sharing system, we buffed the experience gains for towards monsters in nearly all cases, but still of course, you will gain much more experience when battling trainers versus battling wild monsters. There was also several minor fixes that went in to play, including issues with a couple of the cut scenes, rewording of some dialogue, and so on. P.S. Achievements are working again. Sorry that they keep breaking!! The reason for this is because I keep changin…
- Dokimon + MonTamer Maker Kickstarter Announcement - 2 June 2022
Kickstarter link: http://kck.st/3Pnsj9p For those that have been wondering if Nuumonsters is still being worked on, the answer is yes, although, the work has been very slow as I am remaking most of what makes up the game. I started Nuumonsters 3 years ago, around the same time that I started making games full-time, and I have learned so much in these three yeas. Nuumonsters was intended to be a small game, but the interest has inspired me to make it more and more complex as I was working on it. Unfortunately, because of the transition from small, linear game, to big, complex title, the Nuumonsters source quickly got out of hand with all of the changes I had to do. This is why I am now working on Dokimon + MonTamer Maker. MonTamer Maker allows us to very quickly make creature collector games, and it is what I would be structuring the new and evolved Nuumonsters which would also result in…

Along with re-creation of the systems, most-to-all of the user interface will also be replaced and controls will likely be improved as well.
