To all our amazing players, supporters, and fellow devs:

Wow—what a wild ride Ludum Dare 56 has been! From day one, we went all-in with Monkepok, but it’s been your feedback, your playtroughs, comments, and love for the game that truly brought it to life. 🧪 Whether it was enjoying the retro graphics, diving into fusion chaos, or giving us much-needed insight into how we could improve, every bit of input made a difference - you made a difference!. We're very proud of what we achieved within 72 hours and were happy to see your fusion chaos even on some live streams and YT videos!

Your creativity and enthusiasm inspired so many of our upcoming updates—from buffing up the health bars and tweaking the battle UI to making sure you don’t need a magnifying glass to track your monster’s stats mid-battle. We threw in everything, including CRT effects and epic new backgrounds, to make Monkepok as fun as possible, all thanks to all of you.

We've additionally decided to add new systems as well: Save/Load, Material farming, Creaturedex, Achievments, Creature-Reconfiguration and Generator-Upgrades are planned for now! Not talking about the Gazillion new Monkepoks we're already cooking!

In the end we really wanna say it's been an honor to create alongside such a supportive community. Thanks to all of you, Monkepok has evolved into a chaotic lab of monster fusion dreams. We’ll keep refining and growing this mad little game, so stay tuned—there’s much more Monkepok madness on the way. Let's connect on itch.io until we define our steam page:

Here’s to endless fusions, wild battles, and creating unforgettable monsters together! 🎉 Cause a dream wouldn't been fun without the people to share it <3

Thank you, and see you in the lab, The Monkepok Team
