More work on NPCs for Monsters & Monocles this week. Professor Crowley hard at work in his study. Having an infinite supply of quills is pretty handy :)

Just finished up an enemy spawner for Monsters & Monocles, and pretty pleased with how it turned out :)

Monsters and Monocles - Progress Update - January 2022 - Steam News

Hi everyone, It’s been quite a while since the last update as both of us try to navigate the challenges that come with having young kids currently learning from home via independent study, but things are still ticking along with good progress being made across various parts of the game. Dropping Off and Picking Up We spent some time fleshing out the full sequence from finishing a zone > returning to the airship > unlocking one of the five zone fragments > choosing the next zone.

Just finished up the last batch of tiny items for Monsters & Monocles. The 20 x 20 pixels limitation can be super challenging, but I’m really happy with how these all turned out. The “Dubious Handkerchief” and “Shrapnel-filled Corset” are probably my favs  :)
