Gonna try and sum up that old project idea again cos I was super disorganized with my posts back then and can't find the first one, whoops...
The idea is kinda like Monster Rancher + Reccettear? It's a mons game petshop simulator!
Your goal is to raise cute monsters on your farm and help them to find forever homes with the right person in a cast of goofy npcs~!
The reason I was considering the names Moncrafter or Fiend Artisan was cos of all the work I put into developing the world of this setting. You see, all monsters are actually manmade creations invented by ancient alchemists! And nowadays this alchemy is only used by rich people to make servant beasts and decorative pedigrees, etc. Being a monster trainer is tied up in loads of fees and paperwork designed to keep the lower classes out. So your humble little farm is the first alchemy shop this lower class village has had in decades, and you have the potential to help give monsters back to the common people and change the world! Help take back the league from those rich toffs!! And also just brew up lots of cute pets in your cauldron, yay~!
I'm still working on drawing the protagonist cos I actually had a total brainwave for how to redesign them and that's what got me interested in the idea again. I'm thinking sort of a cross between Dr Phelgming from dragon quest 9 + red mage from final fantasy...? And their name/nickname is now Dizzy. I dunno why, that just seemed cute!
The lil kid sidekick/tutorial assistant character is still the same tho, I love Justy and I just need to finalize a good outfit for her. Also I have decided that her grumpy fangy fluffy old bunny monster pal is now the size of a cow. Because heck it's my story, I can decide that if those cute lil dudes live 80 years they look exactly the same but bigger!! I wanna sink into a hug of a giant grandma rabbit...
