I'm currently in the development process to finally complete an old project that's been haunting me for years! Here's the itch.io link with the full info: Monstructs on Itch!
and I made a WEBSITE for those looking to learn more and support!
Here's what I've done today!
Still working on Mapping Assets ATM. Currently, I've finished the mapping for my Forest map: Here's a sample of what it looks like:
To all my fellow devs, a Belated ![[IMG]](https://monstructsgame.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/xmas-gif.gif?w=222&h=102 "Click this image to show the full-size version.")

I hope you were able to enjoy your time with loved ones and good food with great gifts/parties.
I’ve been spending the last month or so spreading the word of this great game. The Monstructs FB page has grown (there’s even a community, now), a promotional Youtube Channel: Channel Link and I’ve made promotion materials like PC Backgrounds and Screensavers, which are conveniently found here!
The Gamejolt profile was also updated with a downloadable version of the Alpha (so now, you have MORE pleases to get it)! I’m waiting for some more feedback from some letsplayers, so I can make a Presskit Page for the site.
Good news is I’m back to the grind and tearing thru the map work for the BETA (DUE: Q2 2018) It’s been a slow start with thing going on around here, but progress has been made and I’m running a Tutorial series on the game’s youtube channel (found HERE). Hope you look forward to it!
Here’s what I have so far…

I've update the installation to make it easier to gt to and a new READ ME File with new contact info if you'd like to reach out to me.
You can see some of the newer features for the BETA in these posts:
Text/Menu UI Upgrade Evolution!!
Thanks again!
After a getting a thorough thrashing about the game's opening/beginning, I've decided to shake things up. The old opening cut scenes didn't really make much sense with the story and mechanics of the game itself. So, with a little bit of outside-the-box thinking, I've come up with something I'm pretty proud of. Here's a quick peek at what you'll find:
Also with this Update I've made changes to how Monstruct Castes abilities can be used by the player. This was to make players more choosy on who to have in their Teams as they go about their adventures. Maps will be improved on, to better match the new dynamic. Stay tuned for more updates!
