Hello everybody!

Here a photosynthetic lizard lies. Would you call this an air based beast, or does this nature creature fit the bill to you?

Baliskins are tropical lizards that have evolved to feed on sunlight. They spend most of their time basking on warm beaches, absorbing solar energy through the green spines along their backs. Their spines are green because they perform photosynthesis, allowing each one to store up to 860 volts of electricity for a total capacity of 10,320 volts.

With this enormous reserve of energy, Baliskins can unleash powerful attacks. They can fire their spines as a defensive measure or release nearly all of their stored energy as a devastating 9,460 volt sphere of plasma. After using this attack, the Baliskin becomes exhausted and must spend time recharging in the sun.

Because they generate most of their energy from sunlight, Baliskins are nearly self sufficient. Their intimidating appearance and crackling spines are usually enough to scare off predators before a fight ever begins.

Here are some examples of sprites from each generation, along with a few general characteristics. Some are my own opinions, while others (such as color counts) are based on technical limitations and may vary slightly. I chose sprites from the most "advanced" mainline version of each generation, excluding remakes.

Personally, my favorite is Generation V. The animated sprites gave the Pokémon so much life, and I absolutely love pixel art.

What about you?

I have been working on this monster taming game since high school and I thought I would share it with you. As I grew up in a town where cockfights are common (called "Sabong"), I added my father's own fighter named "Labuyo". Both my father and Labuyo are now gone, but I can still be with them in the game. Labuyo is not that strong though, and he gets beaten by Tarhyak all the time. It would mean a lot to me if you could wishlist the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4190860/Neuralnx/

I've drawn over 70 unique Blubbies over the past few months

It's pretty crazy to see how much the players care about these little creatures. I have several players playing all day everyday, it's really quite amazing seeing a community becoming so active so quickly. It's becoming such a cool community game where everyone has input and works together and trades.

Anyways just figured I'd show some of the cool blubbies I've drawn, do you have any favorites? any ideas? I added some of the outfit pieces you can find in the world.

Hi everyone! I’m developing Luminons: Seeds of Starlight, a cozy monster-taming game where you collect, breed and raise creatures called Luminons.

https://preview.redd.it/v5d9ieaayd9h1.png?width=702&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad73d5d7cf557e859f5ecab0cc8fa6367bfe032e

The game mixes creature collecting, farming, egg hatching, stat growth, beauty contests and 3v3 auto-battles. I’m trying to make the breeding and hatching systems feel meaningful, so eggs can be improved before they hatch and each Luminon has its own traits and stats.

I’d love feedback from monster-taming fans: what makes breeding, hatching or raising creatures feel satisfying to you in these games?

Steam page, in case anyone wants to check it out:

I’ve been working on Metamon, a desktop VPet inspired by Digimon, Monster Rancher, and old school virtual pets.

You raise a creature on your desktop while you work or browse.

Care for it, train it, send it exploring and watch it battle. Eventually it evolves into many surprising species depending on stats, care, neglect, and other hidden factors.

Each egg can evolve into ~20 species across 6 life stages, and I’ve been trying to make the evolution paths feel more experimental than “good route” vs “bad route.”

One thing I’m experimenting with is the battle - expanding on the old Digimon autonomous battles, Metamons fight in a 2D fighting game style, making decisions based on their stats and abilities.

I’d love to hear feedback from monster taming fans:

• What do you want most from a PC virtual pet?
• Do auto battles sound appealing or would you rather control actions directly?
• How do you feel about the permadeath aspect of virtual pets and hard core raising conditions?

If it sounds interesting, i'd appreciate it if you checked my Steam Page and add it to your wishlist 💚

In Alchemic beasts Hookwings are the definition of a creature biting off more than it can chew. They dive into the water at breathtaking speeds, using their hard, bowl-shaped beaks to scoop up fish in a single motion.

Their namesake "hooked wings" are what truly set them apart. They function much like a hummingbird's wings, rotating in a circular motion to generate incredible maneuverability. This allows a Hookwing to come to an almost instantaneous stop before folding its wings and plunging into the water.

But the Hookwing's greatest adaptation is its built-in contingency plan. If it's forced underwater, it can store air inside its beak and expel it in a powerful jet, giving it a burst of propulsion. Combined with its uniquely shaped hooked wings, which slice efficiently through the water, the Hookwing can swim at speeds of up to 20 mph. Once it breaks the surface, it's back to doing what it does best: skimming across the water and scooping up fish.

Do you think this would be possible in real life? I mean, that beak is huge and solid.

Hi, my name's Kevin and I have been building this world for the past couple years, saving money to develop more Crittermons. It's 24 pages, fully completed and ready for publishing. I've created over 400 mons to fill the world and make it feel alive. Like all of us here, I love the genre and want to create stories in it. Realistically I'll never get the opportunity to write for the franchises I grew up with and love, so I made Crittermon.

Crittermon live on the planet Usa (pronounced ooh-suh) or its moons, Canada and Mexico. This comic book takes place in the completely original, fictional, and made up California Region and follows Pepper, a two-tailed Vixbee with a rare color pattern and her blind little brother, Cookie on a normal day in the California wilderness. They meet Vail, a strange but kind former actress as she ventured into the woods unarmed and without any Crittermons and decide to travel together.

At the end is an unfinished page from Crittermon Origins which takes place in the 1800s Texas region and follows a wild Vixbee with a score to settle with a notorious outlaw Critter Coach.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/feralcomics/crittermon-california-version Here is the project, it is not doing as well as I'd hoped.

So this one here is released exclusively on the psp, it sets in a world where human and monsters live side by side and soon some human began to hunt monsters and capture them into a jewel; which will tame the monster inside and will take orders from the humans, these humans are called Jewel Summoners. The game have you play as Vice a jewel summoner on a quest for vengeance for his mother's death by a monster, the game itself features over 100 monster types for you to capture, you can use the Amalgamy system to alter the stats your monster either by quartz or by ability points which they can earn in battle, after the use of Amalgamy; monsters can evolve into new forms if they meet evolution requirements.

I have created a Twitch enabled Virtual Pet Manager. Let your chat raise a virtual pet. New Version 2 Update coming soon. Update includes, Viewer VPets, Battling, Raids/Boss Battles, Shop, and more! Made solo in Godot, based on the Digimon Virtual Pets. You can also provide your own VPet.

Check out my Twitch if you want to see a showcase as well as a 24/7 VPet Day Care:

A huge thank you to Ceris White, Gerb, Ilario, Reflex, and many others for making and releasing the English translation patch for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional for the NDS.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 was already released in English officially, but we never got the enhanced version (Joker 2 Professional), which adds more than a hundred monsters, new locations, extends the story beyond the normal ending, adds a lot of quality of life enhancements, and much more.

~ Tags ~

• Monster Collector
• Turn-based
• Enhanced version of Joker 2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Description ~

Joker 2's gameplay follows closely to its predecessor. Players explore areas and tame wild monsters into their party. Monsters fight in turn-based combat and grow stronger. The battle system itself is very similar to previous Dragon Quest Monsters games. The player controls up to three monsters that make up the party, and can issue them direct orders or set them to one of 4 AI settings. This game features two new monster sizes: large monsters, which use up two spaces on one of the player's two benches, and gargantuan monsters, who take up an entire bench on their own. The main character, who is henceforth referred to as the Hero, does not directly participate in battles except for when the player uses items. He can, however, use any item in his possession and not just the ones 'in hand'. 311 monsters from the Dragon Quest games appear in Joker 2, with a few new species, many from the original Dragon Warrior Monsters games This is the second game in the series to feature Wi-Fi support, after the first Joker game, and the first to support direct battling between players.

Square Enix released Joker 2 Professional, an expanded version of the game, on March 31, 2011. Professional features over 100 new monsters, as well as new regions and abilities, but the same story. Players are able to import their old monsters from the original game.

Finally as always please drop a thank you to people who worked on this patch, it takes years of hard work doing hacking, programming, translating, editing, and testing to bring these patches to the JRPG community, and all of it is done for free, so if you're going to use it or hell even if you won't, it always nice to show that we appreciate the great work these translators are doing.

So this is the update , sorry I just been busy with this stuff so I forgot to come to Reddit.

Ok so now transformations are a bit more dark, also more monster like, things look a bit more cinematic and battle mode is a bit better :)

For those who don’t know , I’m the creator of E mons, E mons are environmental monsters that you can make by taking a photo of anything and uploading into my GPT. After that you can fuse yourself, do battles,capture other e Mon , simulations and post in our groups or add to the website.

Hi! This is BotHacker and I've been working on it for the last six months! The world is a post robot apocalypse where all the machines turned on humans and decimated their technological society. You play a Bot Hacker. Someone who has the tech and skill to take control of bots and command them to fight for you.

I have a stable vertical slice you can play on itch now! I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas as I progress on the project! https://bothackergame.itch.io/bothacker

Thanks! :)
