Villagers Monsters v1.11 + Steam Autumn Sale (Already???)
Village Monsters » Devlog
Hello Villagers!
I was genuinely taken by surprise when Itch alerted me that it was time to set holiday sale prices. Wasn't it just October...? Now it's Thanksgiving and nearly December? How did this happen?
Well, this is an patch log, not an existential crisis, so onto the notes.
Things Being Investigated Still
- There seem to be a number of bugs for some users when the calendar swaps to Autumn. Strange villager schedules, fades to black that don't go anywhere, etc. Unsure what the cause is yet
- Similar issues are being reported for the 2nd Spring
- I believed I fixed most issues related to cutscenes and story flags, but I'm going to continue researching and working on it to be sure
- A number of values throughout the game were set to their "dev" levels, aka testing levels that were too low or sometimes too high. I do not know what triggered this, and though they should be fixed, I am wary to call it permanently fixed until I figure out why
A large number of misc. bugs that were reported, need research, but weren't causing crashes / blockers are still on my list. v1.12 is underway and will be out in December.
I will be taking time off for the holidays and family in the next couple weeks, so don't take my extended silence as a sign I've vanished.
Have a nice holiday if you celebrate it, and take care of yourselves and your families!

Any update on when 1.2 is coming. I loved what i played when the game was in EA and have just installed the game today to give it another go. I see the last devlog was in 2023.
The Linux build demands libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and libssl.so.1.0.0, which are no longer provided standard in the latest Ubuntu. I was able to make Village Monsters run by grabbing those libraries from elsewhere and putting them in the same directory as the executable.
Thanks for the update! Hope you’ll have a good time with the family, and for once actually get a proper breather to recover some energy. You all deserve it!
