Hey everyone,
Today is the day many have been waiting for, Planimal Point is open!
It's been quite a ride getting here. Monster Harvest began, honestly, as quite a small project. The core concept of the game has always been a unique twist on the genre, but the more we showed the game to people, the more expectations grew and we adjusted the scope of the project to align better with those rising expectations.
Hence Monster Harvest was delayed a number of times whilst we worked on expanding the scope of the game and working in features requested by the growing community, feedback from early beta testing and realising further ambitions for just what Monster Harvest could be. Building upon a concept is a road lined with pitfalls, and this is why we took the increasingly harder decision to delay rather than try to rush out with features packed in without doing the necessary testing.
A lot of testing took place, but there's no testing that comes near the efficacy of opening up the game to the public. We're seeing from early reviewers that a number of bugs still made their way into the final product, and we wanted to let you know this and to assure you that we're working hard to squash these bugs. We have a bug reporting thread pinned in the Steam forums and welcome anyone to join the Merge Games discord and use our bug reporting bot there.
We also want to tell you that the launch for Monster Harvest is really only the beginning. Ongoing bug fixes will happen, but the support for Monster Harvest will go further than that. The strength of the community around Monster Harvest has been truly wonderful and is very humbling. We love Monster Harvest just as much as you, and we have lots of exciting plans in-store, so watch this space and start making plans to settle down in Planimal Point! This is version 1.0, there’s lots more to come and we’re very excited about the future of Monster Harvest!
So with all that said, what can you look forward to next in Planimal Point?
