Hello, all! Today, we have an announcement regarding this project. We would like to announce that re-development begins now. This means that we will be remaking a lot of things as well as redefining its purpose.

After gaining 3 years worth of new experience from working on the Monster World 4 sequel and massive crossover project, Shantae and Asha: Dream Fantasia, I can say that it is about time to return to and focus on this almost completely.

The Grand Porting Process

As for what we are doing now, the grand porting process is in the works. This means that all of the updated code from Shantae and Asha will be ported back over to make it feel better to the point where it feels like it was made on the same engine, which in turn will make me feel more comfortable working on it. The physics, cut scene system, and many other things have already been redefined, so it makes sense that we don't reprogram them and instead work with what already isn't broken.

Community Driven

Furthermore, we are putting more of an emphasis on this being a community-driven experience, so we'd like to go ahead and bring in as many fan resources as we possibly can. So, if you are a Monster World fan and have artwork, music , or other things to submit, be sure to contact us. As the 35th anniversary is coming up in April 2021, we must work together to make this as big of an experience as we possibly can. I will not be holding back.

Follow us on Twitter

As one of the world's biggest Wonder Boy/Monster World fans, it only made sense that I felt like it should for the most part have its very own twitter account. For this, I have decided to dedicate most of my account to covering the series both on the official and fan side of things. There are quite a few fan projects in development and even a full-blown remake of Monster World 4, so by all means, if you like this series to any degree, you'd be doing yourself a great disservice by not staying up to date with what's going on.

Discord Server Invite

Adding on to the previous note, we are currently in the process of making a large discord server for the series itself. This includes everything from top to bottom including official works, fan games, music covers, artwork, and much more! The server was actually created early in July 31st of this year to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the group on deviantart, but I instructed many of the members to keep conversation to a minimum until we were ready and it is that time.

Also keep in mind, that updates to all projects and content are updated here, including Monster World Legends. So, if you'd like to keep track of things in real time and keep an eye on everything, join us! We have gathered some of the world's biggest fans there including the programmer and level designer of Monster World RPG, Fernando. So, be sure to stop on by in the world's biggest unofficial Wonder Boy server!

If the link below expires or changes for some reason, be sure to let me know so that we can resend them out.

Closing Words

That is all I have for you today regarding this. I am aware that this project has been immobile for a long time, but sometimes you have to put things on hold until you are ready and I believe it is that time. Let's do this!
