Hey everyone, it's
Village Monsters!
And it's
now on Kickstarter!! Oh my gosh!
Village Monsters is a life-sim game in the style of Animal Crossing, with further inspiration from the Mother series. You play the role as the sole human in a carefree village full of (mostly) affable monsters.
One area of the game I haven't shared too much (on purpose!) is a type of abiltiy I'm tentatively calling a glitch power.
See, the premise of Village Monsters is that it's set in an old & abandoned video game. This means that the world is constantly plagued with bugs, glitches, and other faults as it becomes increasingly run down.
As you can imagine, this is almost always a bad thing. But as an external force it also means you have the unique opportunity to bend the rules in your favor - like this here
Buzzsaw Bug Net.
Glitch powers consume a special type of resource so they can't be spammed, but they can (quite literally) break the game if used right.
Other examples include the ability to spawn multiple hooks from your fishing pole, the ability to phase through solid obstacles when exploring, and even the ability to control the weather itself.
