Hello, Monster Keepers!
We have the winning Monsters of the final community Monster contest to share with you today. We were very impressed with both the quantity and the quality of the Monster submissions of this contest! The final number of submissions was 177, and it was a real challenge to select the best Monsters from among them. All of us at Moi Rai games (now with a staff of 8 members!) participated in this task, with each of us taking the time to appraise every single submission individually.
The Winners
These are the winners from the contest, which you will be able to encounter and collect in the free Forgotten World DLC! As we were very happy with the Monsters designed by the community, we decided to include the first three Monsters as well as two dev picks! This means that all five of them will be added to the game. The winners are:
- Krakaturtle by FossilFace, the adorable volcano turtle, got the most votes with 234 votes. It's not just a very creative design, but it should also fit perfectly into the new area!
- The second place went to Tar Blob by Gullintanni, with its cool concept on an ancient Blob, with 193 votes. That's right - we're finally adding the highly demanded sixth Blob to the game!
- Terradrile by Y2A_Alkis, the gigantic ancient earthworm, won the third place with 136 votes. A unique combination of lightning and earth!
- Our first developer pick is Amberlgna by its king as a very well-done Monster design based on an unassuming insect. It should make for a good new Insect-type support Monster!
- Our second developer pick is Rampeed by White Dragon for fitting into the existing set of new Monsters very well and being a cool, mountable dinosaur. We already have some exciting new gameplay ideas for this Monster!
We are already in the process of turning those designs into Monsters in the game. We hope you will enjoy playing with the new Monsters and skills that we will be adding to the game!
As the Forgotten World DLC will be the final content update for Monster Sanctuary, this was the final community contest for the game. But who knows - we might have similar community contests for our future games!
Update 1.3 - "Counter Attack" Update
We also have some news on the next planned update for the game. It has received an official name: Counter Attack Update. This update will focus mostly on bug fixes and balancing changes, but it will also introduce two new passive skills and a Quality-of-Life change. This will be a smaller update overall, while we are focusing our efforts on the Forgotten World DLC (Update 2.0), which will be the next update for the game! We are planning to bring it to all platforms in Q2 2022.
