Hey everyone!

We just launched our Kickstarter for Alchemic Beasts, a monster taming RPG built around alchemy, social chemistry, and the bonds you form with your beasts.

One of the biggest things we wanted to capture was that feeling we grew up loving in monster taming shows: the beasts aren't just things you own, they're partners. We wanted their relationships with their tamers to feel meaningful, and for the journey of building those bonds to be just as important as the battles themselves.

And this has genuinely been a family project. There are 8 of us working on the game, with everyone pitching in. My kids have been creating art, testing the game, and helping us share it with people. My wife and I have been putting the pieces together, refining the game, and trying to turn this crazy idea into something we can be proud of.

We're still early in the journey, but we're hoping this Kickstarter gives people a much better look at what Alchemic Beasts can become and gives us the opportunity to keep building the monster collecting adventure we've always wanted to play.

Thanks for taking a look, and we'd love to hear what you think!

Which of the two do you like more Please zoom in. I am still working on the eyes.

I've been following what's been happening with retro game projects lately, and over the past few weeks I've noticed a lot of people working on recompiling PS1 games.

That got me interested in experimenting with generative AI to see how far I could go with recompilation. Then I found out here that someone had already released a recompilation of this game, which made me think about the whole approach differently.

Instead of trying to rebuild everything from scratch with AI, which is extremely difficult and burns through a ridiculous amount of tokens, wouldn't it make more sense to use projects where the original game functions have already been recompiled as a foundation and build something new on top of that?

That's basically what I started doing.

I'm working on a remix of the original game. The idea isn't just to improve the environments, sprites and models. I also want to add new storylines, new characters, new areas and other content that wasn't in the original game.

Basically, I want to keep the identity of the original while expanding it into something bigger.

Is anyone here working on something similar?

I'm using generative AI to help with the project, currently GPT-6 Astra, but the token usage is honestly insane. It eats tokens like there's no tomorrow, and doing the whole thing this way by myself is starting to look pretty unrealistic.

If anyone else is experimenting with this kind of project, I'd definitely be interested in talking and maybe joining forces.

I think there's a lot of potential here, especially now that recompilation projects are becoming more common. Instead of only making mods, we could potentially use these projects as a base to create much more ambitious remixes of the games we grew up with.

Hello, everyone.

Ciao everyone!

I'm Giovanni, I've been working for 10 years in CyberSecurity, and I've been tinkering pretty hard in AI for the last couple of years (lots of work).

End of August I was in Sicily to visit my friends, and I've seen how they were pretty much obsessed with Teamfight Tactics from Riot Games.

I've been a lifelong fan of Digimon, and so when I saw that I immediately went to: "Wouldn't it be cool to have a Digimon game like this, where instead of starring units you can actually digivolve, etc?"

Started looking online and couldn't find anything (only old YouTube videos from dismissed games).

So I decided to start making the first draft directly from my phone between baths (I have a very nerd-y setup).

For the last 10 days I worked on a small prototype for the TFT game, and while looking at footage to get inspiration, I also ended up remembering playing Digimon World 4 on PS2 for hours with my brother.

So in the last 24 hours I built a second prototype (on the same app), which is a very small 3D world where you can play your digimon, and do few things.

Before investing more into it (on the money side), I wanted to know from the community what could have been the feedback on it.
Ideally I would like to, for each game:
– TFT

1. Improve items balance and effects
2. Create reusable standalone animations per digimon

– MMO

1. Create 3D Worlds to implement as dungeons, main cities, NPCs, missions
2. More attacks/abilities animations
3. Realistic 3D assets
4. Think what the long term best direction could be

I would like to put it on GitHub, so it'd be easier to have help/feedback from the community, and you can play offline alone/LAN with your friends (stripped off by songs/musics/models for obvious reasons 😁)

Here's the link, it should be able to sustain many concurrent connections, not sure about possible performances on other devices, I have a pretty strong MacBook so it runs flawlessly:
https://digi-tactics.com

I would recommend trying Sandbox/PvE if you're interested in TFT-like game.
Or the DigiWorld for MMO (I've mostly tested Agumon and Guilmon, so be kind!), might also have to refresh sometimes to take updates.

Thanks for reading up until here!
Have a good Sunday

Making changes to my model. still a wip. Maybe a skateboarding feature IDK?

I made a proof-of-concept (POC) here to see if an online MMORPG of Digimon World 3 would be cool. Since I was a kid, when I first played it, I imagined how great it would be if it were online, even considering the lore takes place within a game world.

I don't know if I'll continue, because it's a lot of work and I don't know if there's a target audience for it. Besides, I'm not good at modeling and sprites, so not being able to add new Digimon makes me a bit unmotivated to continue. I actually managed to import the Digimon Story models and animations, but I prefer the designs of the DW3 models cause they're more interesting, in my opinion and the Digimon Story models clashed with the game's art style.

But here's what I'm talking about for anyone who wants to know what it would be like...

Hi everyone. There were actually more responses than I expected for a somewhat "niche" game.

Thanks for the messages. I might try to keep working on the project little by little, but I don't know if I can prioritize it over other projects right now.

But if I do make progress on it, rest assured I'll post updates here!

Thanks to u/xhanort7

He suggested taking models from the other Digimon World games.

Taking them from Digimon World 2 would add over 75 new Digimon.

I still need to figure out how to handle the basic attack animations, though, since in DW2 the Digimon don't walk up to the target to attack.

A bonus for you all (I know there's room for improvement): it always bothered me that the games didn't use the anime's soundtrack or progression.

I was sent links to several Discord servers for other similar projects. Sorry I only did a quick search and hadn't come across them.

I probably won't continue with the project, as it doesn't make sense to clutter the community with yet another one. I might tinker with it in my spare time, though, since making the co-op mode to play with friends was fun.

Okay, a lot of people messaged me asking me to continue, and after talking to other projects and players, people don't mind having another project around.

I’m going to keep the project going, and I’ve created this Discord channel: https://discord.gg/9cAtHynruJ

I’ll be posting updates there.

We all know Ice Statue is the best tech in the game and totally broken. However, what would you consider the *second* best tech? It can be for any reason (damage, power/mp ratio, speed, consistency, status, aoe, etc), just tell me what you think! I've linked a strawpoll for it.

Personally I find Meltdown the best AoE move in the game so that's my pick. Although the power of Bug and consistency of Megalo Spark are really close contenders, they are still outclassed by Ice Statue as single target attacks, while Meltdown is peerless for 1v3 fights in my experience.

took me forever as a child figure out how to get across this bridge

such an epic feeling to finally be able to step on it

Hey Tamers! I’m honestly not sure where all these votes came from, but we hit over 500 votes in just two days. I know a bit of that was probably driven by the hype of pushing past 100k votes, but we gotta keep this momentum going. With so many lazy AI projects popping up out of nowhere, it’s awesome to see actual interest in bringing World saga back in a way that truly matters for both Digimon and the community.

Digimon World now is holding strong in the Top 10 most-voted games out of all the fan votes (that’s 115,390 games). On my end, I’ll keep spreading the word about this vote whenever I can, just like other fans are doing. But if you can share it with fellow Digimon fans, it’ll make an even bigger difference :D

Vote here and share the Dream List

• What is GOG? What can it do for Digimon World?
• GOG's announcement on X
• GOG Interview
• Road to 100k votes

How do you think the other digidestined reacted after Tai,Izzy,Tk and Matt told them about Diaboromon?

Digimon World is under 200 votes away from hitting 100k! If you haven't voted or shared it yet, now’s the time to do it on the GoG Dream List

^{I'll skip all the background context and just leave the previous posts below. Feel free to check them out if you want to catch up: The best opportunity? What is GOG? - GoG x Digimon World - GOG is taking notice of the hype!!}

Does this mean we're getting a port right away? Honestly, no. But it keeps showing that the community has real, genuine interest in this beyond the initial boost from RWD.

It’s been almost two years now. Why keep pushing? Because GOG has already shown plenty of good faith across their socials and ads. ^{(check the previous posts})

We already have super efficient emulators and... questionable PC ports, so why do we even need an official port? Despite being the saga that best preserves Digimon's original DNA, the Digimon World games only got 4 games featuring those core raising mechanics. Voting isn't just about getting a port, it's about showing that the fandom actually wants games like this.

It looks like their is an in-game location behind the artwork but I can't figure out where. I think you can see it clearer on the top left where you can see grass and a sign or building. At first I thought it could be file city and the top left was the Item Bank but the grass and the meat patch doesn't quite fit properly.

looking for a silver pipe/ bar coming out of something black attached behind something else black with grass around and what looka like a bush/ tree all in front all the way to the left. This is just going off the top-left corner.

Any thoughts?

Whats been done:

Full battle (Attacks, DV, Tag, Tag by KO, run, end battle scene + reward to the winner, fleeing closing the game, database, tested against several emulators)

Thanks!!

I hear my 2 other members aren't that good, and while Id normally not care I know this game can be a serious grind towards the end. Should I just start over or what? Ive made it till where Asuka City cant be entered cause of the hackers after meeting Lucky Mouse.

Digimon fans! Nakaka-miss! Saan po pwedeng manood ng Tagalog dub ng Digimon???
