Somewhere in Thundertorn Forest... Happy Halloween everyone! ^vv^

@vt-cinder.bsky.social @fraxhazard.bsky.social @zeocin.bsky.social and I going trick or treating! No one will notice we're monsters thanks to our superior disguises (costumes)! Thank you Cinder for the customcomm! ^vv^

Proudly marching home after a quest complete!

Slow down or you'll get lost!

"But look, a Sleeptoad! I wanna say hi! Hi Sleeptoad!"

Snakes go to the amusement park, scaring innocent park-goers and getting free rides. Mwuhahahaa, who will stop us? Thank you for the customcomm @vt-cinder.bsky.social ! (and thanks for also being here, @zeocin.bsky.social and @fraxhazard.bsky.social) Together, we will steal all the corndogs! >:3

A friend can be the best remedy for doubt!

@vt-cinder.bsky.social 's dragonborn Noctis but tribal because he had the cool idea :3 Thank you for this customcomm a while back Cinder! ^vv^

Feeling low on a rainy day, a partner can make the difference!

Hey everybody! It's been a while, so I made journal about all that's done and needs to be done for Chapter 2 of Monster Mystery! If you're curious about that, I hope you enjoy checking it out! Thank you for your patience over all this time ^vv^ www.furaffinity.net/journal/1120...

A thing for @zeocin.bsky.social

It's important for explorers to get their rest!

Toridcless in an innertube :3

Taking a day off at White Beach!

I don't think I posted these on this site yet >vv< we have a bunch of other monsters in the chapter too, but I don't wanna show off everything yet :3

New (and old) monsters that'll show up in Chapter 2 ^vv^ In the alt texts I put who made what (a bunch of them are with @zeocin.bsky.social 's help) and also I put links to these posts on FA in case they're blurry here for some reason lol

A mysterious dark aura's appeared in some monsters, their Gift of Kinship growing weaker as it becomes beacons in the sky: signals for help! With no real cure, managing to save a monster from it is a sure-fire way to become the best of friends!

The Skill Tutor and Rite of Channeling are in thanks to Master Yasei's dojo! I can't wait to collect all the scrolls and make some weird gene builds lol >vv< youtu.be/GqNLHhWHiho I hope you enjoy the video! And thank you @zeocin.bsky.social as always for the covers and for helping me out! ^vv^

All the locales we've seen mingle in this one spot, Mt. Mystery! Its name suits its remarkable nature to change each time its explored... mysterious doesn't begin to describe it!

Tobo learned Poison Tail! To learn all sorts of skills, all you need is a scroll, some tokies, and a master to help you! Who knows what you're capable of?

No matter the challenge, we can take on anything! Every monster can take on the world, so do your best, as always!

Recruiting monsters is here! What do you think? I was actually contemplating making this an update to Chapter 2, but after seeing people be excited for it, I just had to >vv< Anyway I hope you enjoy the video! youtu.be/RhN3s_PBDUI Thank you @zeocin.bsky.social for the covers playing in this video!

Two mizutsune masterminds playing their game Cookie Bandits! Featuring @sparkyclaw.bsky.social's Sparky and @vt-cinder.bsky.social's Ember! Thanks a bunch for the customcomm, Cinder! I hope you both enjoy it! ^vv^ Now don't read too far into it, the figurines are purely coincidental... or are they?

@zeocin.bsky.social, @fraxhazard.bsky.social, and @vt-cinder.bsky.social snooping on their idols who are just trying to have a peaceful picnic..! You guys are goofs, they can obviously see you >vv> Thank you Zeo for the customcomm! Sorry I kept forgetting to post it lol, but I hope you enjoy! ^vv^

@zeocin.bsky.social as a fluffy kobold-squirrel with the power of the sun! (fueled entirely by soda addiction) >vv> Thanks, anonymous friend for the customcomm (with Zeo's permission)! I hope you enjoy this tiny detox from all my mh content, kind of like how Zeo should enjoy a detox from soda ^vv^

We have what we need from the Ancient Archive, and now all we have to do is check out! Maybe the Archivist could help us! If only they weren't so intimidating... Let's do our best not to judge a book by its cover!

Have a quick peek at the remastered sprites for Master Yasei while I keep coding away at the recruit mechanics ^vv^

Link to my project because I still need to pin it and I keep putting it off >vv< baydene.itch.io/monster-myst... I swear I'll make a better one when chapter 2 comes out ok

New video going over the cooking meal mechanics in Monster Mystery! I hope you like it! ^vv^ There's a lot we can do with this so I'm happy it's in! Crunch-munch :3 youtu.be/wgg9i_1dzgg Thank you @zeocin.bsky.social for the pmd covers! (And sorry I didn't use your cooking song in the video <vv>)

Poor Farunokku... The lightning here is a little too wild to be trying to impress with a thunder dance!

Exploring an old land, Team Balance makes friends with the locals!

We finally meet back up with our partners, and the stairs are in sight too! But beware, though the path is clear, there are unseen threats. They might not be ghosts, but hidden monsters are dangerous all the same!

Exploration team created!

I just uploaded a video talking all about Subquests for Monster Mystery! They're important for Chapter 2 and beyond, so I hope they'll be lots of fun! youtu.be/UqkjqIwyqSg I hope you enjoy and have a great weekend ^vv^ As always, thank you @zeocin.bsky.social for the pmd covers :3

Let's solve both of our mysteries, and see the world!

On the search for our partners, we're distracted by Rusted Fragments scattered on the floor. Among them is an old mirror. The Ancient Archive is haunted, but a different sort of worry haunts the other team captain upon seeing their reflection. Whatever it is, they surely miss their partner too!

S'more formation activate! @vt-cinder.bsky.social's love for cookies, @zeocin.bsky.social's affinity for chocolate, and @fraxhazard.bsky.social's fondness for marshmallows combine with mine to create the ultimate power! Thank you Zeo for the unique customcomm and my friends for participating! ^vv^

The two sides of Noctis, @vt-cinder.bsky.social 's silver dragonborn character who is corrupted by shadows! Will he keep the curse at bay or treat it like a blessing? Thanks a bunch for the customcomm, Cinder ^vv^ I hope you enjoy!

Entering the Ancient Archive, our teams are split apart and our partners have gotten into trouble in a Monster Den! Though surrounded by Nerscylla, Rakna-Kadaki, and Dread Baelidae, Fanged Wyverns always stick together!

Let's post this here for now

Just a peek at Subquest work so far ^vv^ Accept Subquests at the Quest Board/pin them so they don't refresh the next day! Take them out and complete them for extra rewards- And share good ones with your friends using the quest ID! ^vv^ (More info in alt text) I hope you have a great weekend! ^vv^/

Before we reach the archive, we're swarmed by Lightenna! They use powerful and fast thunder attacks that take advantage of our positioning. We'll have to be careful in this battle!

Abyss Weather appears over the land, dragon energy flowing on the wind! An urgent quest takes us to the Ancient Archive alongside Team Danger... Just what could this new journey have in store for us?

The snowy weather will give you Iceblight, take shelter and get cozy! ^vv^

Cold season! Finally, time to get cozy ^vv^

Sagitar and Cinder are at it again! They'll do anything for the cheddar these days... Though, there won't brie edam problem as long as they don't parm anyone. Thank you @vt-cinder.bsky.social for the customcomm featuring your tobi and @fraxhazard.bsky.social's great izuchi! >vv< You guys are silly

The Burrow's Mailmon service! Communication with other guilds and other explorers has never been so easy! (As mentioned in the last post, thank you to @mizutsuneden.bsky.social for letting me use their Mailman Ratha design in Monster Mystery! Check it out here: x.com/_MEATCIRCUS_... ^vv^)

Video out about Team Cards and deployment!! ^vv^ What do you think of it? youtu.be/UbAIc90HFcs Thank you to @zeocin.bsky.social for the soundfont covers (amongst other things) and @mizutsuneden.bsky.social for letting me use their Mailman Ratha design as Mailmon, which I hope to draw very soon! ^vv^

Aaaa I really wanted to get this fully done today and turn it into a video but I'm gunna just tease it since I still have a lot of polishing to do on the deployment screen >vv< It looks so good already though, I'm so excited to show it off soon ^vv^ (tried to explain some in alt text lol)

A leviathan crawls up from the Thundertorn Pond and blocks the way! No shock about it, we'll have to repel the monster!
