Wish Creatures

Fear not the dev who's made 10000 battle systems, but fear the dev who's made the same battle system 10000 times.

deep into refactoring the battle system of wish creatures right now. it's like i logged onto bluesky 5 hours into a 10 hour operation and the patient's organs are everywhere.

i promise ill put them back but i need to be funny on the internet first

That would be cool! (flashbacks to the Pokemon EXP Share drama)

If Dan Fornace is there tell him to put the Nekomancer in Rivals 2 as an Absa skin

Screenshake is toggleable btw

Wish Creatures is now in proper widescreen 16:9!
Check out a new futuristic area and a preview of the new battle animation system!! 🤖👀

fortexp.carrd.co#wishcreatures

Ugh the illness is so hard to contain. I have SO MUCH to talk about for @wishcreatures.bsky.social but every part of the game is eeeever-so-slightly in need of visual work 😭

Soon, I promise!

We're a monster-taming game with a big world in a tiny resolution... It's about giving monsters the courage to transform into stars! Programmed by 1 person :)

The new key art of Wish Creatures! A green-haired, dark skinned young boy sticks his tongue out as he sits atop a large, friendly-looking canine monster. The monster looks back up at him. An older character with a similar complexion scolds the young boy. They are nearly as tall as the canine monster and wear a maroon button-down shirt and soft purple pants. The third human character hugs the canine monster from the front while kneeling in the grass. Their skin is pale. They have spiky, navy colored hair, a brown and red shirt, a rope around their waist, navy pants and boots, beige gloves, and a red bandana around their neck. The last human character is a girl around the same age, size, and complexion as the previous character. Her outfit and hair are pastel colors - light orange floofy hair, a yellow-blue striped tanktop, light orange shorts, and yellow boots. She wears a sunhat, which is pressed against the canine monster because she's leaning on it. A rat wearing a crown and gold sunglasses smirks while holding on to the young boy. In front of the canine monster and left of the kneeling character, three monsters rest peacefully. On the left is a fire salamandar, curled in a ball and asleep on its stomach. In the center, an eye-less, toothed venus fly-trap monster holds the third monster on a leaf-like root. The third monster is a yellow fox with long ears, grey paws, and a magnet at the end of its thin black tail. It looks at the camera with one eye sleepily open. The ground beneath is a purple, grassy field. A winding path starts from the bottom right and travels into the hills of the background. The sky is a dark, softly saturated purple filled with stars. The "Wish Creatures" logo is top center, with the dot in the Wish's i and the T in "creatures" both stylized as stars. A yellow trail connects the two. The logo is in a bold, easy to read black font and outlined in white.

Introducing the new key art for Wish Creatures, illustrated by @spacemartens.bsky.social! Friends, allies, monsters, and stars... what awaits on your journey through the land of Monstoria?

An infographic with the "Steam Creature Collector Fest!" logo, the Wish Creatures logo, and art of a Monster from Wish Creatures. Steam's Creature Collector Fest is currently ongoing and ends May 19th, 2025 at 10 AM PT. The Wish Creatures logo uses a bold, playful font. The dot in the "i" of Wish and the "t" in Creatures are stylized to be stars. The monster is a sleeping canine with scars on its eyes, black-tipped ears, and a black tail.

Learning how to upload builds to Steam! Why is it like this? 😭

A screenshot of a music player. A folder containing 58 songs with a duration of 59:52 is on screen. The tracklist on screen reads as follows: title, title (piano) loweville, voice of the stars, voice of the stars (battle), up woods, wild battle.

Personal note, the soundtrack is nearly an hour long now. By far the biggest project I've ever made, and am super proud to have gotten this far! 🥲

Now v0.6.85!

We will have a trailer once we hit 0.7 in the coming weeks, stay tuned! Currently doing some light post processing and particles to pretty the overworld up some. Def using this for the trailer!

NEW RELEASE WINDOW: 2025!!!

That's gonna be it for now. I've got more to show, but I'd rather get back to development and eventually make a new full trailer.

The title screen BGM is dynamic! It switches to a piano version when you start a new run. The beginning of a new adventure! 🥰

Also, the title screen is much more flashy now haha. Town fly-overs and a reel of monsters from the game to make things more exciting!

Rare Monster forms called "Pulsars" can spawn in the wild now! They're a 1/500 chance, but you can reduce the denominator by defeating or recruiting the same species consecutively.

This is called a "Pulsar Chain"! :)
