One thing I have learned about game development is that QA specialists are NOT PAID ENOUGH!! Testing a game is so much harder than developing it for me, by a lot.

Did you know Monsters of Mican has an interactive 3D bestiary? You can view each of the 290 monsters in the game (once you've defeated one), turn them, and play their animations and sounds as much as you like!
Even from the main menu!

Somehow the new highlight I've made gives the Arena Master a really neat look!

I'd still love to have a few more people test this out but I might decide to just set it live and if any major issues arise just roll it back.
But I'm guessing that's "irresponsible" and "bad publishing" and "kinda crazy to even consider" right?

Don't have a new trailer yet for #TrailerTuesday but I can share a few screenshots of the new UI overhaul for Monsters of Mican!
This new update is currently in #Beta, if anyone is interested in helping me test it out (for a free code!) please DM for details!

Here's a tease for a new feature coming to Monsters of Mican very, very soon: Sigil Keepers! And when defeated, they give you- you guessed it, sigils! Sigils grant unique passive and active abilities
There are 4 Sigil Keepers now hidden throughout the game!

Because I have no self control, I'm adding EVEN MORE new stuff in this upcoming Monsters of Mican update including 4 new special abilities including "Jump Start", which does a small amount of electrical damage to the party in order to awaken or even sometimes revive a fallen hero!

I'm sick of looking at even virtual snow but I still hope to finish my new snow level now that my UI overhaul is done. Hopefully someone somewhere is excited to look at more snow, I know I'm not!!

In the last week I cooked:
Rib steaks, Yorkshire pudding, parboiled roasted potatoes, carrots&parsnips, cookie sticks coated with white/milk/mint choc, chicken schnitzel with mashed potatoes, pickled onions, sweet&sour meatballs, steak/caprese crostinis, arancini, lava cakes, pastry asparagus...
If the homemade lava cakes were in the picture that would be especially true

I completely redid the way I do enemy highlights now, with far better and more consistent results.
But now I need to manually go into each of my 290 monsters and delete their highlight meshes so that we don't waste processor power animating/ticking things that are never seen!

Damn that's a lot more menacing coming from Kirby

Are vegans okay with eating the rich?

To give just a taste of the extent of my UI overhaul for Monsters of Mican, here is a comparison of the old, ugly, hard to read and overwhelming static tutorial, versus the new "tutorial splash screen" that's just one part of a much cleaner and more streamlined tutorial system.

Season 2 gets a bad rap because of season 1 (and because of the clip show). I think it's overall pretty good.
The Nagilum episode was great!
