Hi everyone,
First off, as we have said numerous times now, thank you for the feedback that’s been shared since the beta through to launch and beyond, it shapes the way we develop and build the game.
After the post-launch flurry of updates, things have been a little quieter, which isn’t ideal. We really want to provide you with meaningful updates which we couldn't do until the initial bug fixing patches were completed and work progressed on the more quality of life focused update which was promised.
We’re a small team but we’re passionate about what we do and giving you an enjoyable gaming experience is really what we sign up for by coming to work in the games industry. We know there have been frustrations out there and despite things being quieter on the communication front, we’ve certainly tried to give every player a voice, hear your concerns and take them to heart. We don’t want to overpromise on something until we’re sure of it, so a lot of Monster Harvest has been behind the scenes work lately.
With that said, we’re in a position now to share details on the next updates for Monster Harvest! These will come in the form of 2 updates, for all platforms.
Update 1
Coming early in the new year! It will land on PC first, followed by consoles which require some additional porting and certification before we can get them out to you.
Massive UI overhaul
- Menus all optimized and some redesigned
- Text popups for pickups and items
- Rescaled multiple text instance
- Controller support improvements
- Improving controls & menu navigation when using a controller
- Crop signposting
- Crops will now more clearly tell you when they are ready to harvest
- A map of Planimal Point is now available
- See where you stand with the resident of Planimal Point with a new relationship tracker
- Clearer stamina and exp usage and caps
- General game & economy balancing
- Lots of minor bug fixes
Then there will be another update a little further along the new year which will bring big changes to the Planimal System, customisation & in-game story!
We’ll share more details on that soon, but we wanted to give you an overview of what is being worked on.
Thank you for playing Monster Harvest and stay tuned for more in the new year, happy holidays from us all at Merge Games & Maple Powered Games!
