Try out the new full and free online browser version. You can install it on your phone to work fullscreen like a native app. This is a beta, please give me feedback. https://play.vilmonic.com/

Here's an excerpt from the Vilmonipedia on the older mobile versions:

"It costs $100 a year to keep apps in the Apple App Store, and 'Mark' just can't afford that, so Apple removed Vilmonic from the store. As for Android, Google is forcing apps to update to the newest version of the store or get removed. 'Mark' has not been able to build the Android version since the Vilmonic dev machine is too old."

I thought I'd post this here in case anyone who was into the strange music of Vilmonic might have an interest in attending this show. Wizardmaster is my music project (there's two of us for this one) that created the Vilmonic soundtrack. Long form electronic drone/noise/music. I'll be performing using my homemade software synth (https://bludgeonsoft.itch.io/wmcp) and my bandmate plays a custom modular. Sounds like this: https://wizardmaster.bandcamp.com/

Wizardmaster at the Peacock Lounge in San Francisco 
This Thursday!!, July 9
Playing promptly at 8 pm
Doors open 7:30 pm
552 Haight St San Francisco, CA, USA

With Euphotic, Headboggle, and Sean Keenan

What do you mean?

By the way, incase anyone is wondering, those yellow "warnings" at the top of that screenshot are for Itch.io features, there's no "monetization" anything in this app.

Oh, wait, yes, my server config is broken!

Hmm, do you get the same error if you go directly to the webapp:

https://bludgeonsoft.org/wmcp/

(Currently this is just a basic redirect to the above link. An installable desktop version is coming soon...

Can you give me more info on what happened after you selected the "Load Creature Cards" menu item? Were you able to select an image file on your device?

I'm not able to easily build the .apk anymore, so my plan is to make a full non-lite browser version that will also work on mobile, and maybe also make it work offline with web app cache. Join the discord where players are modding the game and have created tools like a gene editor. Also, you can just use an image editor to edit the genes of your exported life forms. You'll need to craft a camera first to be able to export...

Thank you so much!

I'd love to add Portuguese, but unfortunately I do not know any Portuguese/English translators. Thank you for your suggestions!

(Eu adoraria adicionar português, mas infelizmente não conheço nenhum tradutor de português/inglês.) Obrigado pelas suas sugestões!

You have to export them by using the camera.

Obrigado por estas sugestões. Atualmente estou tendo problemas para publicar novas versões na loja Android, vou tentar corrigir isso depois que o trabalho terminar na versão beta atual para desktop!
(Thanks for these suggestions. I'm currently having problems pushing new releases to the Android store, I'll be trying to fix this after work finishes on the current beta version for desktop!)

Haha! Eu adoraria fazer isso, e fico feliz que você esteja curtindo o jogo. Essas são boas ideias. Em breve, posso estar em uma posição para retomar isso novamente...

No, sorry. It costs $100 a year to keep apps in the Apple app store, and I just can't afford that, so Apple removed Vilmonic from the store. Even if you had already installed it in the past, Apple will not allow you to download the app. It's a pretty lame policy.

My dev computer for Android is down, I'll try and fix it soon so I can look into making a new build. Is there a reason for this request? Is the game not working at all, or is there some other issue?

Interesting idea! I'll look into this.

These are cool ideas. I really want to add more population stats, so these kind of ideas are very important to me. A fungolite evolutionary tree would very quickly take up too much space, since fungs are much more plentiful than anims and evolve much faster. On the Vilmonic discord I outline a "lossy" way to map out species history that would work for fungs, and I may implement that sometime...

Definitely, if the anims are attracted to motion, especially when they're hungry.

Experiment!

There is a "PlayVilmonic.desktop" launcher that you can doubleclick to start the game, and the executable is "Vilmonic.app/Vilmonic". Let me know if you have these and if they work for you.

Also, if you use Itch's client app you can launch the game from there.

I'm guessing this doesn't work for you with either touch or trackpad (if you have one)? Anyway, the new update with many control changes to support mobile devices should be out soon!

I'm working on an update right now, so I can try and fix this (if it's not fixed already). Can you share a screenshot? Also, what device are you using?

Vilmonicland (2)

I won! I very much enjoyed the (somewhat squishy) bricks.

Vilmonic now in SIX LANGUAGES!

Exploratyne and observil and experimoni the Vilmoniscape in an interfac for using with a multitude of six (6) languages!! 

:<)

Mainly, just don't attack them.

It seems you may have accidentally attacked the zombitons! The Vilmonicouncil recommends against this. There are MANY things you can do to deal with the zombs. Check the tool, item, and task descriptions for hints, or get help on the Vilmonic Discord https://discord.gg/vilmonic

Unless you enjoy the chaos of a zomb infestation, or if you are trying to balance a zomb-carnivorous-animatroid ecosystem, don't ever attack the zombitons. If this happens by accident, try playing with them with their favorite toy - spoiler: blow bubbles!  This will quickly calm their swarming instinct.

It's your island, protect whatever you want. Start by protecting everything. Or protect the creatures with behaviors or traits you'd like to see more of. There are no "monsters", just life forms.

Does your window look something like this? You may have to enlarge your game window (drag the borders), or make it fullscreen, or lower the Interface Pixel Scale in Settings.

You should still be able to drag items to the gray boxes at the bottom of the craft window:
 

Is this ^ where you are dragging items to?

As a general rule, fung spores are most likely to survive if planted on the same terrain as where they were picked. Once planted, use the binoculars to see how well adapted that fungolite is to its location.

For example, here you can see that this location has 70 nutrients available (including any fertilizer from dead life forms on this spot) and140 hydration:

Ha! Just reload the save game and now you'll have two, one back in your toolbar, and one in the chest. It's a known issue.

Important Announcement from the Vilmonicouncil

New zomb behaviors have been spotted. Judging from this photo, it seems that zombs may be a bit more useful now..? Also, new cameras have been found among all the junk and detritus underground, including the glitchy one that took the above pic!

Thank you thank you! :<)

STATUS: Coming soon! 

Working on adding the Russian, French, Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations (from the Steam version) to the Itch version. Plus new DLC for additional life forms and craftable items, starting with the Photographer Recipes and Odd-O-Matoid Life Form add-ons from the mobile version!

Some SPOILERS here:
Evolve red fungs so you can craft Cola (an instant cure for zombiton haywirefication). Stay out of their eyesight, cross water when they are chasing you, or stop moving (they only see movement). The small hammer stuns them but doesn't kill them. Blowing bubbles sooths zombs. Place their favorite dungeon tiles off to the side out of the way. Or evolve some carnivores!

I like the idea of tutorial tasks to help learn how to deal with the zombs!
