I REALLY wish I knew how to do 3D games because I'd work on a Digimon World 1 and 2 styled game like crazy!!
Maaan how I LOVE the low poly style of those Digimon models!!!

I love Metroid Prime 4 but the idea that these 7ft tall axolotl aliens were so insanely into motorcycles that 1/5 of their world’s infrastructure was dedicated to a factory that produced exclusively human-sized bikes for no reason will never not be hilarious to me.

It's worth noting, if you use the completely black and white version, you won't know when to stop shaking for Megahit, so you'll need to rely on shake counts once again. This could be a positive or a negative depending on who you ask.

Aw man I accidentally took all the color out of my Pendulum Color.

Digimon Pendulum DeColor Version 6: Saiyu Warriors sprite pack linked below. Now if you’re mentally unwell like me, you can mod your device and go back to the days of black and white LCD.

Having completed Metroid Prime 4 recently I’ve been thinking a lot about my experience with Metroid.

I crumbled to dust upon realizing I’ve been playing Super Metroid repeatedly for 31 years at this point.

I’ve gotten old, but Super Metroid hasn’t. It still feels fresh to me.

Thanks Affie! If the game manages to capture even half as much of that cool mysterious Digimon World vibe when it comes out, I’ll be happy.

Spire of Arkodea - the Monoform Chief's house, located in Sector Village.
The Chief is full of useful information, so be sure to visit if you're not sure where to go.

I quite like Metroid Prime 4.

I’m glad I gave it a chance after not being too fond of previous Prime games or first-person games in general.

I never realized how much these foreshadowed the visual style of the Fantastic Mr Fox movie.

The modding tools have now been made available on the Digitama Hatchery discord by member altcho1w. Head to the Digimon Projects channel to find the thread containing the guide, method and tools to mod your digivice.

Update: the person who created the modding tools has given permission to share the tools in a few days when a new version is released!!!

Thanks! Hopefully tools get made available publicly to let more people mod these devices more easily

Heck yeah I hope we can mod this track into the device too!

Only seemed right to add the appropriate soundtrack to this. Awesome work making this by the way!

Thank you! I actually made all the graphics a year ago but I didn’t have a way to mod the device until now. It feels good to finally see it in motion!

I was asked not to share the Digivice modding method publicly but I am able to share the result!

On a related note, I’m pretty much out of funding, so I need to either:
find more funding (from a publisher, investment, crowdfunding, etc) or:
find a job (where I would continue to work on this in the evenings and weekends), so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Went to the Aberdeen Zoology Museum today and got a free guided tour, worth doing if anyone’s in the area. Learned a lot and got some great inspiration for new creature designs for Spire of Arkodea!

Kizuna? Bonds?! Who let Digimon spill onto my PokΓ©mon game?

After playing a few hours more, I’m sold.

It’s a very fun game. I wish it were bigger with more varied environments, but it might be one of the most fun PokΓ©mon games so far.

PokΓ©mon Legends Z-A is fine I guess, I don’t think it’s nearly as good as Arceus.

Honestly, I played for an hour or two and then put it down and went back to playing Digimon Story Time Stranger, which I’m enjoying way more.

Saw this on my walk today and it made me smile. It’s meaningless to most people right now but I promise it will become relevant once people have played Spire of Arkodea!

Time Stranger is just a great little JRPG with a fairly light story and some deeply satisfying monster collecting mechanics. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes JRPGs with fun mechanics, whether or not they're a Digimon fan tbh.

I've heard plenty of people say the Digifarm is like Digimon World and I suspect those people have never played a World game. Digifarm has nothing in common with World whatsoever, other than "there are Digimon in it and sometimes you see them hit a punching bag".
