MONTHLY MONSTER VOTE
The Save System update is out. Anyways, I know I am behind on getting the monsters out the door, and I will be able to catch up over the next few days. Snake women are just one of those things. You can never have enough lamia around, and although Sea Queen was a decent first attempt for the prototype launch, I felt it was time to take another stab at it. SEDUSA is the next attempt.Eldritch horrors are a dime a dozen these days. But you have to appreciate it when an ORDER aligned entity takes the time, and puts in the effort, to manifest itself...
FREE SHINY VOTE
The Save System update is out. I am aware I am well behind on delivering capital C CONTENT in the form of monsters. Sweet Arceus I still haven't got the whale, robot, or warwolf's skins in YET. But all that is coming shortly... The Save System was taking up a lot of my spare development time.Who is THIS MONSTER? Well I have been talking a lot of shit about a mushroom forest area for like 2 months now, and a lot of my work on that zone has been done. Including some privately developed monsters, which will come out with that fun-fungal up...
ITS REAL. THE SAVE SYSTEM IS REEEEEAL!
It's in the Mega.JUNE UPDATE 1 : THE FIRST SAVING THE GAME TESTSADDED ITEM: Name Tag. Give a monster a name! Required for saving monsters for future runs. You’ll start with 2 for now, but in future expect these to be a quest reward. You can also withdraw monsters an unlimited number of times for now, because ALPHA.ADDED: SAVE MONSTERS. Open the menu then open STORAGE. There's only seven slots, but that's just for now. System needs testing, first. I will scale it up to 56 slots, shortly. Alter: Shiny Paint Brush can be used on a Su...
MAY MONSTER VOTE
This MAY we decide which of these monsters will be the next FLYING monster.
MAY SHINY VOTE
Kicking off MAY, is the palette vote for one of my favorite monsters; BALLOSAUR, who I created out of nowhere one afternoon while struck with pure inspiration. Ballosaur's lore also made her a favorite of mine, and I liked her so much I redid her infant form a while back to make it cuter (the original sucked). I also fixed up her sprite a bit (now) as there were a few minor mistakes on the original. As always the most voted for option will become the rare shiny, and the second most voted will become the super rare super shiny!April conclude...
April 2025 Update
Its the first update of April! I say the first, because it comes before what will likely be a buggy first release of NAMING and SAVING our monsters, so they can persist between runs. Yes that is still coming. Moondog is in the game. Moonpup, the unevolved version is also in the game. God, animating tentacles. Why do I do this to myself? Also the ELECEEL shiny variants you voted for are in the game!Firefox is in the game! So is her unevolved form; Foxii. The winning AITHON shiny variants are in the game now too! Both Firefox and Moondog are hidi...
APRIL MONSTER VOTE
The next map, the mushroom forest, which will be south of the dark forest, will bring the playable area closer to the swampy, wetter parts of the game world. Yet I look into our roster and to my horror, I see we only have the 3 adult water monsters, that were all added early! What to do? GET COOKIN. It's time to decide the next water monster! I think in the future some of these monsters will be removed from the bushes beside the rivers, and dwell within the waters themselves... All things in time!For the orca, I was referencing a favorite g...
APRIL SHINY VOTE
Dear supporters, while you wait on the monster update for the game, please participate in this, the APRIL SHINY VOTE. This month, we go back to an early monster, called WARWOLF. She kind of gets forgotten, by me, like I am surprised to see her on the roster whenever I'm scrolling through files and folders. Thankfully her shiny versions will help her become less plain! As always, the most popular choice becomes the shiny, the second most popular, the rarer super shiny!
APRIL FREE VOTE
For a while I have mentioned on forums that monsters that have lost a monthly monster vote, will get a second shot at being added to the game. This kind of redemption vote won't occur more than a couple times a year. What an excellent way to include the whole supporting fandom of Eggomon, paid and unpaid, in choosing monsters! This month, April, the free vote is to redeem one of these three previously rejected monsters.
SMALL UPDATE DELAY
Tree fell on my fucking house. No major damage. At the risk of doxxing myself (don't do it, freaks) I wanted to post this. Already revealed I am a Canadian, and an Ontarian at that. A generational ice storm ripped through Southern Ontario (well the bit NORTH of the GTA) and I was in one of the hardest hit pockets. Looked and felt like an apocalypse, now all the ice has melted it just looks like a horrible windstorm. No power since the 29th, will have no power until the 2nd at least. Power out all over, lines down all over, poles down all ov...
FREE MONTHLY VOTE
It's the free monthly vote! In keeping in theme with our patron monster vote (its over the next fire monster) the free vote for this month decides the shiny variants for AITHON the fire horse! Aithon's unevolved form; Foalth, might also get updated because uh, it was a placeholder that I just never changed from prototyping. *COUGH* But for now please enjoy deciding the alternate colors of AITHON. As a reminder; the most voted for option becomes the SHINY and the runner up becomes the rarer SUPER SHINY. Mini update tomorrow, or Monday wi...
MARCH 2025 MON VOTE
The monthly monster vote for you Patrons, you get one EVERY month, remember? There's still the free shiny vote, and the MINIBOSS vote to go. Please standby for the lengthy situation explanation, updated roadmap and mini update tomorrow.We vote on the next FIRE monster and thank goodness we are getting some female figures into the FIRE TYPE. First up is what is CLEARLY a BREAK GLASS and CATCH UP THE ROADMAP design for the fire chicken, and secondly we have a cute petite monster, which we need more of. Monster designs have gotten pretty beeg ...
SCOUT VOTE
A PATRON exclusive poll that is late. It's for the next scout: DOT. The BUG scout.Dot shares the same body plan as Roxy, so I don't need to cook up a whole new set of animations, and her bouncing freckled bottom will be a welcome addition to the roster. Start the game with BUG monsters. I had a VERY strong thematic idea for what I wanted from DOT, but with limited pixels I just couldn't get the geeky-swirly spectacles to work, OR bug pins, OR a cute subtle overbite. Still she looks like a ginger short-stack bug catcher, and I am hap...
MARCH UPDATE IN MEGA
The Update is out, it has the new scout Roxy, Mothrin, Brainbun, Vedabug Shiny, Druidia Shiny. Mothrin is in the Dark Forest for now, Brainbun is in the Meadow, votes will be updated tomorrow, and MOONDOG who has won, is gonna be done pretty soon too.I am ONLY updating the MEGA as I am sure there are bugs, but the version is mostly stable. Also Thundama's shiny wasn't working? It's in and working now, I apologize for that, and again apologize for things falling apart on my end. I have already informed the DISCORD of this but uh... ...
FEB MONSTER VOTE
THIS MONTH you will vote on the next GHOST type monster, which is something I am calling a moon-hound and also something that is my take on a mimic. Listen to my personal whining and excuses on the PUBLIC free vote post. Roxy is ready tho, trust me bro? Good thing too because she has the same body plan as DOT who we will vote on this month.
FEB FREE POLL
UPDATE COMING ON THE SEVENTH. 7thI am alive, and have been back to work on the game for several days now. Without getting into specific grievances regarding my absence; I work in the Canadian tech sector, I am a Canadian born and raised. Actually from a many generation, mildly militarized family. This past month I have had some EXTREME job challenges. First, I had a week long family emergency to kick off Jan. THEN, I was expecting to walk into a new contract at a new company for 2025, and long story short; that didn't happen, and won't ...
PATRON SHINY VOTE
"The second PATRON vote is another shiny vote? That's boring..." PLEASE REFER TO THE ROADMAP, I knew I needed some leash for January so I made shit easier on myself.All I can say about Druidia's shiny variants is that they DID NOT WANT TO BE BORN. It took me a whole day to come up with these. I don't know why, it looks so simple when they are all lined up like this... EDIT: FORGOT TO MAKE THIS MULTIPLE CHOICE
PATRON MONSTER VOTE
Aren't these bugs adorable? I was trying to be a bit more stylish with my pixel art this month, so they kinda feel different, but also more similar to earlier monsters. I also (partly) read a book on color theory this holiday. I am happy with how they turned out; cute, moderately busty, and with more monster-ish faces. I feel like the purple upper wings on the moth need to be redone to be a similar pallet as the lower wings... Here's hoping that a comparatively simple bug design can compete with the moth, Chitia gives double hugs, so I ...
JANUARY FREEVOTES AND MONTHLY SOONS
Alright here is what is going on. FIRST BUISNESS TO HANDLE:VEDABUG SHINY is the new free vote for this month! Remember; the most popular pick becomes the shiny, the second most popular, will be the super shiny vote!NEXT ONTO THE DECEMBER WINNERS.The vote between the clown and the new bunny was a TIE... On Patreon... There's another website where people patron this game, and THERE, the vote was NOT a tie. Meaning when the totals from both sites are counted, winner is the bunny! A shocking upset, where my PATREON supporters had their fate wri...
EGGOMON 2025
ROXY is being worked on, she will be done before Christmas. Anniversary discussion time.EGGOMON 2025 Roadmap discussion time.Firstly a bit of a personal update: I am getting laid off in the NEW YEAR. This is not a crisis for me, since I have lots of friends in my industry and am already pivoting to land somewhere. I am simply letting you all know that this, combined with other family issues, is why my update planned for Nov 20th got delayed. I have been on the internet since the birth of the web as a home network, and am annoyed by creators who...
UPDATE DEC 3
ALRIGHT FIRST THINGS FIRST, the winners of the November votes:We will have sandstone Roxy, Kihikihi will come in black and red shiny variants. Auricsaur is the new monster.Roxy has a different body type from the other scouts, so she will be coming later this month since she needs fairly different animations from the existing body type girls. Also holy fuck she is short, she is going to get absolutely destroyed. Seriously she will suffer like a Kiwi bird when pregnant because damn.Meanwhile, over on the patron, anyone, yes anyone can participate...
DECEMBER FREE VOTE
FREE FOR EVERYONE SHINY POLL. She's a big girl, for you!Here is the brief rundown, free members of EGGOMON: The update is tomorrow! It includes the raptor that got voted in, a whole new map, and a whole new type of challenge on that map! A maze filled with treasure, patrolled by GALEM who won't chase you, but will fight you if you bump into them! Also new items.The current monster vote is between bunny-professor-X and a disgusting clown. Roxy is going to be SANDSTONE for her coloration, and the BLACK AND RED sharks are going to be the s...
DECEMBER MONSTER POLL
OOOOONNNNEEEE YEEEEAR. ANNIVERSARY UPDATE is hours away...Okay listen, I was a little out of it, and I couldn't decide on what EGGOMONS psychic pink +/ purple cat should look like. So.THIS DECEMBER YOU will decide what our third MIND TYPE monster will be: a BUNNY wearing a psychic helmet and a coat, or an eldritch abomination. I have no excuses here, I wanted to TRY a clown, and I also have plans to create several MONSTER tribes eventually, which is why Brainbun has the same grey fur, as BAPBUN (bunny tribe). Meanwhile the clowns lore is th...
NOVEMBER UPDATE 1
A VERY SHINY UPDATEFrom the beginning I said I wasn’t interested in making monsters have rare ‘shiny’ recolors, since recoloring shit is super easy and tacky. Then the feature got requested 50ish times, and I realized I could turn the whole process into a voting reward, and I super enjoyed seeing the recolored monsters bang, and I accepted that giving people what they want (in this case) is the key to success. So now we have SHINY EGGOMON.But the way SHINY will work in Eggomon is different from [Monster Catcher Game]. In Eggomon there is ...
FREE SHINY POLL
Tomorrow, tomorrow! The update comes tomorrow (Nov 2nd), and it is considerable, adding a long requested feature to existing monster genetics...THIS free poll (for everyone), spoils that new feature. For now what you need to know is this: SHINIES are being added to the game. The coming update will include monsters with the new shiny feature. Monsters (with shiny sprites) will sometimes spawn with a rare SHINY color pallet (sometimes this includes sprite changes), OR with a VERY RARE, SUPER SHINY color pallet.Your votes in a SHINY POLL will be m...
NOVEMBER SCOUT VOTE
She's almost here! The next scout will be the short and wide ROCK type scout, ROXY. This democratic decision was determined by last months poll. And now, please decide, which palette will Roxy inherit?
NOVEMBER MONSTER VOTE
Googala has won the October vote, and she will come in tomorrows UPDATE, which is a doozy.ONE of these two monsters will be one of the ROXY starter monsters. Our next rock monster is either AURICSAUR or MAGNEETA
OCTOBER 2024 UPDATE ONE!
It's time to seize your first significant victory, with both hands!ADDED: QUEST: GHOST MILK. The first ever quest is out, and although still unrefined (every scout needs a unique portrait, and some unique dialogue) is very much playable and finishable. Like other major updates, this feels barebones because, it is! Doing something ONCE in code and in games is the most difficult, now that it has been done once, it can be polished and then duplicated and altered a lot, going forward.ADDED: Haunthag! A spooky ghost that haunts the dark forest, ...
NOVEMBER PRE VOTE
A new challenger is approaching! On November 20th Eggomon will be celebrating its first anniversary. Not bad considering a year ago there was 1 little map, 1 little scout, and 20 monsters (10 evolved) to try and shill a new game premise. The next scout vote will be in November. Meaning you will vote between THREE visual designs for the next scout. But I cannot decide which scout should make their debut! So you nerds should decide.Ariel the WIND scout, who will be tall and slender? Roxy the ROCK scout who will be a shortstack?Tesla the lithe SPA...
OCTOBER Monster Poll
Hi everyone! The UPDATE is coming tomorrow evening. It will introduce the first ever Quest to the game, which is short and sweet, but includes loads of new features, like actual dialogue between the scout and the operator, a unique animation, as well as the first Boss fight, the first ghost monster, and the first unique (shiny monster) which is the Ghost you voted on. For this month; OCTOBER, you may vote on the second GHOST TYPE monster. This time we have a MUMMY vs a Gooey Mommy monster.As per your vote the WINNER of September and the standar...
