Sup Bitches Imma GHOST

THE PAST!

Remember this take is not necessarily canon; but the take from our talented artist (@viiperfish).

CHALLENGE 10 is HERE!

September’19 is the month of MONSTER PHONE SCREENS.

This one is highly specific, yet very playful! You must draw the phone screen of one #monsterprom character.

Unleash your creativity and surprise us. Which character’s screen will you choose to interpret. And what the screen will show us? A picture? An app? A completely absurd non-existing app or the parody of a real app? What type of app? Game? Messaging? Countless possibilities!

CHALLENGE 8 is HERE!

July’19 is the month of VERY MINOR NPCs.

So there are tons of minor NPCs in Monster Prom that are just mentioned by name or/and short description. So this is a challenge to celebrate all those characters.

Style, compo or format does not matter. Just depict one (or more) of these characters. Surprise and delight us with your interpretation!

If you look into Monster Prom’s subreddit (r/MonsterProm) there is a thread with a super long list of this type of chars. Go check!

Sorry we spoiled Juan and PGS!

MONSTERSONA TIME!

Back with the winners of the @forfansxfans contest!

Third is the monstersona from @the-flying-beetle

She did the amazing “The Arsonist” piece that you should totally check here: https://www.forfansbyfans.com/the-arsonist-22762.html

They also won a custom polaroid. So adequate, given this month’s challenge!

But remember the challenge does not allow monstersonas/OCs ;d

I’m so fucking mad tumblr wont make it transparent so thats 5 hours of my life thrown into the void. Idk if they’re gonna be transparent but they’re supposed to be. If anyone knows a solution please tell me.

For now if they aren’t transparent, message me on discord if you want them since the transparency works on there. I’ll send them to you in the morning. (LightRedFox#9085)

MONSTERSONA TIME!

This is Chandelle, created by @qsy-draws-a-lot , the winner of the 2nd #monsterpromchallenge

It is important to note that soon, the monstersonas will be added to the game’s gallery!

So it’s your ticket to the (some sort of) fame!

KICKSTARTER TIME!

We promise this is the last info post.

So we are doing a Kickstarter for the sequel of Monster Prom, right?

It’s a fantastic way for us to see how good the reception for it is (and then calculate its scope) and for you to support us so we can cover all expenses ourselves, therefore having more control over our own product!

Of course rewards include the game… but what else?

We have semi-exclusive DLCs (a part of them will eventually be up for purchase, but a part of them will remain forever exclusive for backers) including new outfits… AND SOMETHING ELSE.

We have beta access to the game and to a new exciting feature for the first game, which we will be revealing soon. You will LOVE it.

We have an exclusive KS polaroid that will be only for backers. Then a set of 6 sequel polaroids or a complete set of 50 polaroids (including the sequel ones).

We have an invitation to a poll system to vote content on the sequel such as who will be the love interests on Monster Camp or the hitchhikers in the Roadtrip, among lots of fantastic stuff.

We have 3 levels within an exclusive Discord to propose and discuss content for the game: outfits, items, endings and even characters. With a reward like this a fan proposed what ended up becoming the PRANK MASTERZ. Another fan proposed what become Miranda’s 2nd outfit!

We have a body pillow. We have custom content done for you: an avatar, a monstersona, a *******, a custom Polaroid (that will be printed and sent to you as exclusive merch).

And of course the highest level let you co-create content with us for the game: outfits, mixed drinks (???), endings and even NPCs.

There are many levels of awesomeness.

MONSTER PROM SEQUEL

We’re just weeks away from Monster Prom sequel’s @kickstarter campaign.

As said, Monster Prom 2 will focus on 3 stories: Summer Camp + Winter Retreat + Roadtrip.

Summer Camp is a dating sim. It starts at 4 love interests. We will have stretch goals to get up to 5 and then 6 love interests.

The Snow Retreat is a narrative adventure that ends not in love… but in war! We’re studying the possibility of a small strategy mini-game at the end of it… A SNOW WAR!

The Roadtrip one is about embarking on an adventure with 2 of the best monsters, with lots of absurd stops, wacky hitchhikers, and mysterious destinations.

We’re also studying the possibility of Trip to Japan as a 4th story as a stretch goal. No idea how that one would work right now.

The Kickstarter will help us to calculate the right scope for the project and the life expectancy of Monster Prom! We hope it works!

ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE

We’ve seen many people confused by this challenge. So let’s spend today talking a bit about it.

The challenge is easy: a visual depiction of a spin-off of Monster Prom.

I added the rules to avoid classic errors I have seen from people when we commented this challenge before. I say: by spin off we understand like a new game based on the MonProm universe. We mention it has to work as a narrative adventure because that’s what we’re doing with the sequel. I have heard “oh, MonProm but it’s a fighting game!”. No, there will be a challenge for “Monster Prom but other genres/formats/pop culture products”.

This month is: let’s think we have the code for Monster Prom basic flow (dialogues where player has to choose from 2 options based on stats). What can we do within the MonProm universe to create something cool that is close to Monster Prom, yet feels new?

The examples are clear: Monster Prom but now is a Summer Camp! I included more rules so you can go beyond the basics of just a new setup, but without getting lost. I forbid AUs because as funny as they might be, I think they are an easy solution that kills creativity (so instead of brainstorming hard we just go just like “Monster Prom but everyone is a super villain”. Also because I won’t do AUs for a MonProm spin-off game.

Also: how to present the submission? Any visual depiction of your idea. A concept art, a mock up screenshot, the fake cover of the game, etc. So if it’s “Monster Prom: moving together”, a game where 1 to 4 players live adventures through narrative events to make their new place habitable and looting furniture since there are only 3 weeks for your housewarming party, then I can just draw Brian and Amira moving a sofa on a set of stairs (and then I explain my idea a bit on the post).

and if you think it’s complicated, remember: it’s just drawing a spin-off. Easy as that!

We assume there will be less participation than when using a cliched “easy as fuck to understand” prompt such as “fuse 2 characters”. But c’mon, it’s not rocket science!

CHALLENGE 5 is HERE!

April’19 is the month of SPIN-OFFs

So this one is special and requires explanation. Pretty soon we’re releasing the @kickstarter for Monster Prom’s sequel. The sequel is meant to be (subject to change based in results) 3-games-in-1.

It will be, in this case, holiday based: Summer Camp; Winter Retreat; Roadtrip.

Stretch goals include us exploring and including other “stories”. The one that we want to make for sure is “Trip to Japan”. But what else can be done? From minor characters’ adventures (play as the Coven+Liam fighting baddies on Season 5) to other potential adventures (moving together!).

The rules are simple:

1. The spin-off should work as a narrative adventure with the same choose-an-option mechanics. Not necessarily a dating sim tho!

2. No AUs. Stuff that could happen or have happened. So yes to “moving together”, no to “Monster Prom but they’re superheroes”. You can argue “but given the absurd in the game that could happen!”. I believe you get the point.

3. An interesting exception is meta-ideas that could happen because it is a fictional product within MonProm reality. Examples: “Human Prom” or “Pokeman, the narrative adventure”.

I know, it’s a bit more complex! :d

But I think it’s a nice challenge. Feel free of explaining the idea in the post. If an idea catches our eye, we will read and value the text on the post!

Who knows? Maybe an idea of yours become the next Monster Prom game? (:

I invite you to share ideas on the comments if you don’t draw but are good at being creative! Maybe an artist picks it up and draw it!

WINNER FUSIONS!

Surprise! With so many submissions and so much quality it was almost impossible to choose a winner. So we went ahead and celebrate such a great challenge with not one but two winners!

@lunarjokester (IG) has a clear, simple and beautiful style. Her design is also straightforward and strong, mixing Polly and Vera successfully, both the character and the outfit. The result is an extremely eye-catching piece that keeps us mesmerized!

@draconym shows great style with a great use of color; but of course the main strength is its creativity: the whole Cal + Amira = Toaster is genius. It shows a very playful way of taking the fusion challenge and thinking how to take the fusion to new places unexplored by the characters while still feeling like the smartest most obvious choice. It won us over the day it was posted!

Congratz to both artists! And to everyone else who submitted too!

Remember tomorrow we have a new challenge and we hope seeing ALL OF YOU participating again. Next month’s challenge is a bit more complex, but creatively interesting and tied to Monster Prom sequel.

Winners: DM us to start talking about your monstersona ;)

SURPRISE!

An extra fusion. Because these 2 would love to fuse with anyone yet probably no one would fuse with them (maybe Joy and Zoe with Dmitri?)

But they can fuse with themselves and stop trying to marry/bring to the Dark Side everyone.

Welp, tomorrow we start with the short list. We’re preparing that NOW. But of course if a kick-ass piece appears, we might make a change. But you have less than 24h. And now the bar is higher!

When should we start showing sequel content to everyone? We really want to get hype for the impending Kickstarter.

THE KING IS UNDEAD! LONG LIVE THE KING!

If you finally understood how this work, now is too late. The circle is closed by fusing Brian again.

IT’S MIRANDAHLIA!

Yeah, we weren’t missing this one, obviously.

Just one question: have you grasped how this is working? Like it’s obviously like a chain where the last char gets a new fusion. I thought it was very clearly telegraphed; but I see so many people guessing chars who already appeared that I am not sure anymore.

Do you understand that Damien, Oz or Vicky WON’T be in a fusion anymore, right?

Just checkin’

In any case… just a couple days left to submit your fusion!

OMG! A FUSIÓN!?

We love you fans, and we respect your thirst (it’s the fuel that makes us stronger); but we can’t just fuse Damien with everyone.

I mean, I guess if we asked each time for the next fusion, you will ask for him again and again, huh?

But you would be missing on other beauties of life, like fusing Oz and Zoe.

What do you think?

FUSIONS! YASSSSSS!

And now Make some room for Fan Favorite Polly!

Amira + Polly = the prettiest will-o’-wisp ever!

Share this with your friends if this hottie puts your pants on fire!

Also, heading to the @sxsw Gaming Awards in a moment. We’re pretty sure we’re not winning a thing, but pretty damn honored of being nominated in 2 different categories with some GREAT other games such as Celeste, Wandersong, Root or Moonlighter!

FUUUUUUUSION!

It’s time to start the big batch of awesome @doktordoktorgimmethenews fusions. And we start all in with a fan-favorite: Brian x Damien

Go follow them! He’s super talented!
