Hey Tamers, As most of you are already aware, a sequel to Monster Crown is in the works by a dedicated team, building a brand new experience (and engine) from the ground up. The next chapter of Monster Crown will improve on everything Monster Crown: Red King had to offer, along with a slew of new monsters and a new world to explore.

- Patch 1.2.7 - 2 November 2024
Hello Tamers! Thanks to all the players that have returned for another quest in Monster Crown recently! I've been keeping my eyes peeled for notes from you on anything that needs adjustments. I have prepared another patch. What you can expect in 1.2.7: Monsters now give you a bit more wiggle room when spawning on the overworld (they were a little too close at times before) The Moveset Transfer exploit has been removed Out of bounds exploit possible in a specific section of Dew Cave has been patched out Dizzy Status condition text adjustment Improved data handling when monsters die during battle in permadeath mode Improved Box auto-add slot select when you tame new monsters with a full party To touch on the taming style topic, we've mentioned that in our recent big update instead of having two distinct taming-modes for monsters (one for regular monsters where level difference is king, an…
- Update 1.2.5 is here! - 25 October 2024
Hello Tamers! You may have seen our recent post here, in which a very large polishing update, was set live on the beta branch for testing: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/830370/view/4545912721048424996 Turns out this update is quite solid, and so we're now ready to set it live for all players to enjoy. Many longstanding issues have been addressed, which you can read about below, and there's a small special surprise for players as well. The Philosopher Kings, the grand finale bosses of the post-game have received brand new art that shows much more character and distinction than what they had previously! These awesome designs are thanks to Bennybotabota on our discord, who also has a tumblr you can visit to see more of their work here: https://www.tumblr.com/goliathgastropod Benny did a great job of understanding the spirit of each of these characters, I think we'll be working wi…
- Big Patch 1.2.4 - Now available in Beta - 16 October 2024
Hello everyone, I've been hard at work on a new patch for Monster Crown to address some longstanding issues, and improve some systems that could use some quality improvements. A 90% complete version of v1.2.4 is available on Monster Crown's ea-beta branch. Full details are below on the patch and how to access it if you'd like to opt-in. Because the patch touches so many systems in the game we thought it was important to allow people to give it a whirl before we finalize it and make it the new default stream. The battle math AND stat calculation system has been totally rewritten. The team working on Monster Crown 2: Sin Eater developed a much better implementation and it's now been back-ported to Monster Crown because it's simply better in every way. The implementation here isn't 100% exact, because the new game factors in a lot of additional new factors/systems but it's very close. It's…

I also added an indicator to the New Game button that makes it clearer how to start Mark's Quest, just press right on New Game (you'll no…

Hi everyone, Development of the long-awaited DLC is finally complete. There will be an announcement for the release date shortly, as well as images and teasers for the many new monsters and cool things included.

I wanted to share an announcement from our twitter today, which reiterates the above and gives a little update on the sequel project the rest of the Studio Aurum team is focused on: === Development of Monster Crown's DLC has completed and is in final testing.

Hey guys! Man I've been trying to get this update out all week, but my day job has been in crunch, tying me up pretty completely.

Have a good one tamers, apologies for the delay and rest assured - DLC1 is still in the works.

- Groundwork Update - 2 June 2022
Hello tamers! It seems like it's been quite a while indeed since we last spoke - over the past few months I've had a lot of things in life come and smack me in the face but never was Monster Crown far from my mind. On top of that, there are two others working diligently on awesome new Monster Crown projects which will be revealed later in this post. This initial update lays the groundwork for our DLC content. The entire world loading code has been rebuilt, leading to far higher performance and less lag as exploring the huge world. This update will shortly make its way to consoles as well, where it will make an even bigger impact. Additionally, we'll no longer have those weird savefiles showing up for Steam Deck users or with cloud saves. This update will remain in the beta branch for 48 hours (right-cllick, properties, select branch, "ea-beta" if you'd like to opt in) just because it's…
