is it possible to get a community copy? Im on disability and have been dealing with alot of health issues. I would love to try to play this with my two nieces who i often watch as their parents wont watch them.
Hey there, yes - as well as individual copies added via itch sales, I am now also adding copies each month based on certain Ko-fi membership tiers, so there are a few coming in every so often!
I wish I could afford this game. It sucks so much when $20 equal an entire week worth of food here in my country. I know it’s my fault, I shouldn’t try things I can’t afford in the first place, but I tried the demo with friends I watched pokemon anime with, and we really love it. May I suggest having a 50% or more sale from time to time if possible?
Community Copies are a great way to deal with situations like this. I hope there will be more coming soon. I have a direct way of collecting CC donations over on my kofi, maybe Zak can make something similar possible as well? (So 10$+ for a CC)
My family ADORES Pokemon, and wants a way to play a tabletop version together. Finances are a bit tight at present... Any chance for Community Copies in the near future?
saw this posted on tumblr and immediately came to check it out. absolutely had to buy. the rule book is delightful from what i've read so far. it's making me so nostalgic for all the anime i grew up on in my childhood. i sent this to my dnd group because i was just so pumped about it and now were making our dnd characters into animon kids just for fun. several of us have already drawn our animon too. very busy schedule rn but really hope i can run a game with this soon. its just so delightful and the character creation was very nice too. i like that the kids are fairly straightforward but the animon have a lot of customization, its a good balance without getting overwhelming. really makes me want to go watch digimon!!! awesome awesome job
Thank you for the reply. I already tried the playkit with my little sisters yesterday and it was fantastic! We all love this game and will be looking forward to the full version!
Hi there, so sorry for the delay in responding. All pre-orders via Backerkit should provide both the PDF and the physical copy. Then once the full release has happened, orders of both will be available from Metal Weave Games directly.
I was just curious if Beetledew was intentionally left without a stage to tie into in description as mysterious, or if it was suppose to be Ultra like the stat block seems to line up with.
Hi there, no that is indeed a minor error that slipped through editing. It will be fixed, and the files updated, before the files are sent for printing.
Hi there! I'm a little confused as to why the older version can't be bough. I know it's being "fixed" but why can't people get the current one and then just get the upgraded PDF when the time comes?
There are a few reasons I decided to take the old version down. The main ones are:
- rules tweaks and changes are being made, so if new players got the old book they'd already be playing an outdated version of the game and have to switch once the new version is available
- some of the original illustrations could not be used in the newly published version, so are being replaced
I do apologise for the delay, but the new version should be dropping within a couple of weeks, so there's not long to wait
Hello it's me again and I'm glad to see that the game is going to come out this year and I'm hyped, anyway on to the question will there be any mechanic for dark evolution or could you just do that with the Normal rules, thank you and please have a wonderful day
Dark Evolutions are supported in the rules, yes! They are a suggested possibility for the mechanic called the 'Bond Break Episode,' which is something that happens with the Kid and Animon partner have a breakdown of communication and fall out in some way. Hope that helps!
Do you have any plans for rules that allow for fusion between an animon and another animon/ their kid partner? Basically jogress and biomerge evolution in Digimon terms.
Hi there, the final release version (coming end of July hopefully) will include several 'optional rules modules' for folks who want to play around with the core elements of the game. Fusion Evolution is one of those optional rules!
Hi there, I am currently working on making all the updates and additions. The digital version should be available in its new form towards the end of July hopefully!

I'll add another wish for more community copies.
Hey everyone, best to check around the beginning of the month for community copies, as thats when i add those funded by Ko-fi members
Received my physical copy from the KS, it looks and feels great!
Now we will trying to adapt it to our online world, is the next of my personal projects
Will you have more community copies of this? Thanks!
Hey there, yes - as well as individual copies added via itch sales, I am now also adding copies each month based on certain Ko-fi membership tiers, so there are a few coming in every so often!
Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out.
Any news on physical release?
I have added a handful of Community Copies to the pool, I hope they help for those who need it!

I am indeed looking at setting up a system like this!

I wish I could afford this. 🥺
Hello. Is this the Kickstarter version with all the updates? I just found out about it and I think the project is amazing.
Hi there, yes this is the latest version produced alongside the Kickstarter. Cheers!
Alright. I went ahead and created some Optional Rules for Animon Story. I hope people like them and welcome all feedback:

Woah, that's super cool! Great to see the Animon Creator's League getting some use!

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm delighted to hear you're enjoying the game!
This game looks great, it feels like it was made with a whole lot of love, and hope I can set up a group to play with sometime.
The monster info for Tanklyosaur mentions "Tanklyodon" in the Special section. I think this might be a typo or name change that was missed in editing?
Right you are! Thanks for letting me know, and so glad to hear you like the game. Cheers!
I've been in love with pokemon since I saw the anime on tv years ago so this game seems like a dream comes true!
I hope this does not sound rude or make you feel bad, but would Animon Story go on sale, or have community copies again?
I'm really sorry to ask, I hope you won't feel pressured or anything! I'm just not in a financial situation where I can really afford entertainments
Hey there, yes, there are new community copies added fairly regularly, I'd keep an eye out.
In the meantime, you can download the free playkit if you want to get a feel for the game.
Thank you for the reply. I already tried the playkit with my little sisters yesterday and it was fantastic! We all love this game and will be looking forward to the full version!
Is there any chance you will be making rules for solo play? Id absolutely love that even if it's pdf only
Hey there, making solo rules isn't currently something I'm working on, though I won't rule out the possibility for the future.
I did recently hear about a game engine called Radiance that claims to make any game playable solo - might be worth checking out!
It would be awesome to see official soloplay rules but I will definitely check out that game engine, great work on this and cant wait to try it out!
Is there bundle for both the pdf and the physical book?
Hi there, so sorry for the delay in responding. All pre-orders via Backerkit should provide both the PDF and the physical copy. Then once the full release has happened, orders of both will be available from Metal Weave Games directly.
Hey! I'm really enjoying the game, I took the freedom to make an online character sheet in case people play over the internet, hope that's ok: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19yoo8ooLdW9Pqop_CflD8GgGEPJbPDXQtkBqDOZj...
If anyone wants to make a copy of it feel free to do so~

Hi there, no that is indeed a minor error that slipped through editing. It will be fixed, and the files updated, before the files are sent for printing.
The game is finished with all the KS stuff and is for sale now?
Yep that's right. You can see all the changes in the recent devlog I posted (link at the bottom of the store page)
OK thank you!
Any idea when this will released? Will there be community copies?
Hi there, the game will be going back on sale very soon! Community copies are added fairly often, yes.
This looks amazing! So sad I missed the Kickstarter; anyway I can still back the project?
Hi there. A backerkit page will soon be available, which will allow late pledges!

Would you happen to have an estimate on when animon will be available for download again?
Hi there, I am currently working on making all the updates and additions. The digital version should be available in its new form towards the end of July hopefully!
So I looked at the Kickstarter and there's a good number of backer, so uh when would the ETA on the Physical copy of the game
Hi there, the physical copies are expected to fulfil around December this year. Cheers!
