The Future of Cartridge MonstersDec 1, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone, Sorry for the long silence! Cartridge Monsters was our first game release and although we had grand visions, being our first game, we just didn’t know, what we didn’t know. The game had some deep-rooted issues, and we knew it would need to be remade the right way to really work. So instead of charging, we decided to make the game free. Some are thinking, what about those of us who paid? We will get to that 😊 Instead of seeing this as a setback, we viewed it as an opportunity. An opportunity to step back, improve our game development skills, and deliver a greater VR creature catching experience. This isn't just a mere update – we've rebuilt the game from the ground up from the ashes like a phoenix we bring you: Cartridge monsters: Rebirth https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38706949/263726e27599f72bbdf05eb1bda0083eddbcf086.png There is a new story, completely new combat system, location, mechanics, and much more! But, before diving deep into the details, we'd like to announce that everyone who purchased the original game before it became free will receive Rebirth for free. So, what's new in Rebirth? • Monster Rework: We either reworked or completely remade all monsters in the game. https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38706949/c6fd9cb89393157174d4865ad27c4ae525c48ebd.png https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38706949/e8ac4f83e933f0fb98ce55a94ab0746657f4bbfd.png https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38706949/b88b1e6210702b9eaa38f24856f6207bc79015c1.png https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38706949/c43248eb94ce2bf021549bae8d04d74b3f09acd9.png • Increased Monster Count: Rebirth has over 100 monsters, up from the original game 75. https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38706949/7c429b18eda97a5cae1d6d8b0795aaf728092d95.png • Enhanced Environments: From towns to mountains and other core assets, we've crafted majority of the game assets from scratch to have a consistent feel and style throughout the game. https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38706949/f7017c626edc53cfc2188fb1f54fceb50462f409.png • PVP and Trading: Rebirth is overall a single player game, but it will have some multiplayer aspects. Player vs Player battles and Monster Trading. • Rebirth takes place on a large 2km Island with dungeons and more secrets! • Original Music: Just like the first game, all music in Rebirth is original and carefully curated to enhance the gaming experience. We've poured our hearts into Cartridge Monsters: Rebirth for almost two years now. While we don’t have a fixed release date yet, rest assured we'll be dedicating time to playtesting and gathering feedback before release.

But we've seen the growth hit its peak and we want to bring in more players to try and play the game. So we decided to go free to play. You should see the change within a couple of days to weeks.

Right now the game is completed. We had plans on adding in new content and features based on how well the game has sold. The interest in the game is overall very low. So, there are no plans for new content or features moving forward. We will continue support & bug fixes like normal (As they are reported).Hotfix 1.0.4 - Autosave BugFeb 19, 2021 - Community Announcements- Fixed a bug that cause the autosave system to save on the main menu after a death.

Future Content, Bug Fixes/Timeline, Wanted Features and MoreFeb 6, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsWe want to thank everyone who has bought the game or is considering buying. We really appreciate your support bringing something like this to life. We only became dev's by happenstance because no one else was making a monster catching game in VR. We do hope to see others take on it in the future. The game is complete and playable from start to finish. We have gotten some reports of bugs or wanted features, so we want to establish a patch schedule/ timeline. Writing We are having the writing completely overhauled by an outside company. Once it's complete it will be swapped out for what we have in game. It will not be completely different, just polished and grammatically correct. Bugs: There are some bugs, most of them seem to be environment based, but there are a few issues like health bar bug (end game). 1 quest not being able to be turned in “Find friend in Tellus” and the cure bullet not working correctly. There might be other small things players have not reported but if you find any be sure to report it so it can be fixed in a future patch. Wanted Features: We hear the feedback about wanting a pokedex type app for the tablet. We agree and will be working on this feature to add in a future patch. (So you can tell how many monsters you have left to catch) Movement Speed Settings. We plan on adding a setting so you can control the movement speed so it's not so fast for some people that it is making them sick. It will be added to the tablet settings menu in a future patch. When picking up items instead of saying items collected it will say the name of the item collected. There are tooltips for items on the app menu screen we want to make it clearer so more players can find it. Future Content: We might add new areas as DLC if the demand justifies it (ex. Tournament Area, Town, Other ideas). It would depend on how the game does overall. Timeframe: We plan on pushing new patches every 3 weeks (unless we aren’t getting any reported). This will give us time to also double check and make sure we are not introducing new bugs into the game and the time we need to work on them. *we released the games soundtrack to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu1qZ0exNfMtb6CvcqIfe-d-tWRvKsvq9 Thank you everyone! Hotfix - Respawn TimerFeb 5, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsJust a quick patch to fix a bug that was found with the respawn timer after battle. It wouldn't have effected many but would have for those hunting rare monsters.Voice Command - IssuesFeb 4, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsFor those who want to use voice commands it is on by default, but it is important that the game window be in focus or it will not work. There are three things to check for if you are having any issues with voice command. 1. The Game window is in Focus (Clicked on) 2. Check windows Audio Settings and make sure the mic is set to your headset. 3. You are on Windows 10 (Voice command uses Windows API). Thanks!
