New demo out!!
XBuster
After two days of absolutely NO SLEEP,the newest demo is out everyone! Here are a list of features that are in, that are planned, and features that were removed for certain reasons. A Manual was also added both here, and in the game package. Before playing, please take the time to read what you are about to play.
I keep seeing this quote up on the RMN page that says something like..."reading the manual was like foreplay, it got you in the mood for the real thing"
On the topic of the demo, here is what has been placed in the official description so far...
The best release yet!
A small, but powerful package that has the most variety and polish the game has ever seen before. Play through 12 demos featuring areas such as stages, adventure map samples, and even a couple of boss battles. It is highly recommended that you explore some of the stages, activate skills,equip some things, get items from Alsedo, and level up your characters first before trying to take on one of the two bosses.
Read the manual pages and learn how to play as you learn new skills, equip,customize,and explore. This version takes it a step further by adding a dual soundtrack. Both Midi and MP3s are supported and editable at long last. If the MP3 soundtrack is giving an issue, switch over to Midi.
Customize various features!
Reap the rewards of trophies!
Trophies earn you rewards and there are a lot of them so far. Simply by playing as a certain character and using their skills will eventually level up a stat of theirs or gain another reward. You can also earn trophies by simply playing the game and doing a multitude of things such jumping a number of times, attacking, or even standing still or talking to a number of people. For example, Asha is able to train Pepe to come to her faster or increase his rescue speed.
Future plans
Several modes such as Adventure,History and Mini Games are locked and are currently under heavy development.They will be available in the next release later this year. Several characters have been removed in this demo for a multitude of reasons. They will be available in the next release as well.
Here is the link to the demo!
MWL 2017 Demo
This is literally going to be me the next day or so.
But, for now,Enjoy!
If there are any bugs or complaints whatsoever, don't hesitate to let me know so I can fix the bugs and see what I could do better. Thank you:)

What to expect in 2017:MWL
Hello RMN! Its that time again. An update on what to expect for the new demo and the game as a whole for the year of 2017. Today, we will be discussing several concepts on the game's design as well as giving an overall progress report.
Battle System
First things first, lets talk about the battle system. In recent years, the battle system had a fixed set of battle content and you could not grow whatsoever. The only growth item you could receive was a temporary HP and MP doubling item. 2016 was all about experimenting with new concepts and fleshing out the battle system to a greater degree that the Monster World franchise has ever seen.In the long run, it was a great decision because so much was learned in the process.
This included adding a skill grid, adding equipment that gave you new physics and abilities, accessories that increased certain stats, and a wealth of characters to travel with in the massive land that is Monster World. As of 2017, here is the current status on the battle system...
Boss Battle Encounters
Due to the heavy increase in advantages for the player, bosses have become a bit more challenging and strategic. Bosses now have the ability to block, heal, cast magic. However, they are vulnerable to things like being stunned or being weak to certain types of attacks. Weaknesses play a big role in killing certain bosses quickly as some of them are aggressive and won't go down without a fight.
Menus and new modes
New modes are being developed actively. To celebrate the 30 year mark of the franchise, all kinds of bonus contents are being added such as adventure mode, a library to read up on characters and events of Wonder Boy/Monster World, mini games that range from shooters to small 2D adventures, and even a trophy gallery to display your in-game achievements.
Stage Design Updates
In the past, most(if not all) levels took place in a single room. With the heavy advancement that took place last year, the game now allows you to backtrack between rooms. This is due to levels becoming much larger and more varied. This was a necessary step in order to take the game to its maximum potential. Levels can now consist of one or more rooms and may or may not allow you to backtrack. Usually, arrows will let you know if you can move between screens. In a nutshell, the stage system is a hybrid of Monster World 3 and 4.
New skills learned!
On my part, the overall development has taught me a lot on how to improve the game by being introduced to new ways of doing things such as...
A new demo is on its way!!
No, I am not kidding. A new demo is on its way soon due to a complete lack of one in 2016. I want ALL of you to get your hands on this brand new version with a complete design overhaul from the September 2015 demo that is currently holding the download button. This will be Semi-final demo 2 of 3. This may be the last demo before the the final game comes out, but for now, that's what we'll call it.
Cheers!

Progress Report
New Updates!
Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! Its a special day, so I thought I'd share some new content and a series of brief videos that go in better depth than the one released earlier in the Media Section.
Enhanced Sound Engine
First order of business is the sound engine. The past couple of weeks has been strictly focused on the sound engine. MWL could not support MP3s and the sound effects were cutting off the music and had bad quality. Why? Well, because I had too many sound effects and music in the game causing it to run out of memory and cause glitches in sound.
The solution to this was to make all of the music and sound effects external in folders. What does this mean for the engine and the players? It means that the engine has shrunk down significantly; maximizing its optimization. For the players, it means you can edit both sound effects and music! And does that mean the game can support MP3s now? Well, take a look at this and it'll answer your question...
Next, there has been an update in the amount of platforms and gimmicks. There was one in the 30 minute video of the Media section, but this one is extended a bit by adding both a balance platform and piano keys. Can you guess the secret song played on the piano?
In the previous video, there was an item test, but there was so much going on that you couldn't depict what was what, so here is a better in-depth video of the items.
I always wanted to add this, but I found a way to make a custom day/night engine that is simply a special effect in certain areas. Here is the sample on Moonlight Castle.
Adventure Maps Return!!!
Over the course of development there have been some very difficult decisions on what kind of stage map to add. Should it be Mario Styled with simple blue and red buttons, or should it be a complete "walk everywhere" map. I chose the latter.
What's next on the to do list?

Progress Report
Updates Galore
Hello everyone, XBuster here with a progress report on the game so far. There is actually quite a bit to talk about this time around. Today, we will be discussing the updates as of late 2016. Lets get started!
A while back, I introduced the new inventory system that was able to hold up to 96 items. However, this game is planned to only carry 64 items as seen below. Ranging from simple healing items to key items that will help you progress through the game and even unlock secret areas.
The equipment is still being worked on, but that doesn't mean they aren't planned out. I've narrowed it down to the most important items in the franchise. Rather than just giving each piece of equipment a status boost only, some equipment will have their own skills as seen here. In Monster World 2: The Dragon's trap, there was a special weapon called a "Magical Saber" that could transform star-marked blocks into solid blocks.
The Monster World games always provided a way to blend 2 aspects; Platforming and Combat. Though I am trying my best to combine the two, I've noticed that some areas have poor enemy placement and not enough battles with multiple monsters at one time. Along with that, arcade elements have been added in the game as well such as food appearing when you are near their spawn points. Character move sets are fixed, but you can enhance/upgrade their effects.
For example, Lydia's fireball can be used underwater or Kiki's guns will shoot faster. A level system was also added. I'm not sure if going to lv.99 is necessary, but we will see. Difficulty settings were also introduced including the Hard, Extreme and the extraordinarily difficult setting of "Monster". Easy mode is planned and will have bonus effects.
New magic has also been added/tweaked such as the healing spell and the shield magic as seen in Wonder Boy in Monster World. With the shield spell, you will take no damage at all as long as the shield is active. However, it breaks easily. Its defense and HP can be increased via Skill Grid though. Summons have been added as well. Some of them are timed, while others will accompany you until a certain point and help you attack enemies.
New monsters have been added! Within this series are hordes of monsters that range from snakes to dragons to slimes and much more. Basically, classic RPG monsters and several unique ones. Believe it or not, there are a whole bunch of monsters from every game in the series all the way up to Monster World 4. Examples include a bull, muck monster, elephant, vulture, lamia(new), and much more!
In order to make this game to give you a feel of growth, a skill grid was introduced. This will give you more control over what global stats to increase and what character skills can be enhanced. Examples of Skills are...
As if this game didn't have enough to deal with, there is an alternate version of the classic: Wonderboy in Monster World known as The Dyanstic Hero. Originally, I thought this was just the same game with a main character change. Turns out it was the same level layout, but the NPCs and boss monsters changed! What did this mean? Time to rip of course! Within the game there were new resources such as artwork and anime-styled imagery.
Along with getting new resources, Another character update has been added. I won't showcase them all yet because I want them to be a surprise. But, if you look below, you will see Lydia's new appearance/battle stance. Kiki is our ammunition buff, who not only uses futuristic technology, but also has a variety of gun types similar to Mega Man. However, this was based on the Arcade game; Wonderboy 3 Monster Lair.
Bai is an all-round powerhouse with a speed disadvantage, but she can crush golden blocks that no one else is able to break. Ferkin is a magic maniac with the ability to control some elements. Every attack he does is magical. Ryou is the only character that can do a combo attack with his twin swords which leads to him being the fastest attacker of the bunch, but his HP will decrease at fixed intervals until a certain item is acquired(it may be in this blog somewhere). Lydia is the well rounded character that has the ability to kick certain walls and control basic to advanced level magic. Glaedr is still in the works.
Remember way back when this game began to get options? One of them was Records. Before, you had to go to a whole entirely different room to view them. However, now you can view them on the fly by entering the menu and selecting status. The menu has heavily expanded and even has pages now.
Remember the last demo before the current one and how it had a brief story mode showing what it would be like if a story was added? Since the main focus this year has only been the gameplay/fixing/tweaking/scrapping/enhancement, there hasn't been much time to work on the story mode. Although, I have many plans for this game when it comes to its story. I'll leave it at that.
When is the game coming out?
The game is very large and I'm working on this alone with the support of other subscribers' characters on the line. With over 1000 resources from the entire history of Wonder Boy/ Monster World and original content, its only expected to take a while. I want to finish it this year, but it may be set to Q1 of 2017.No, I'm not attempting perfection, but I do want it to fulfill my image and make it the very best it can be.
Happy 30th anniversary Wonder Boy! I look forward to the 2 new games coming out officially, and other fan games coming out as well made by fans such as myself. Speaking of which, here is the newest trailer for Monster Boy and the Cursed Kindgom. Enjoy! If you have any questions whatsoever about the project and its future, please feel free to comment or send a PM.

Progress Report
Progress Report:Polished Battle System and much more!
Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that the battle-system has finally been polished in this game. Here are a list of things that have been implemented into the battle system since then.
Enemies now have weaknesses to weapons and magic. As something we have seen in many kinds of games, I wanted to implement them into 2D. Here are the weakness types.
Jumping on certain enemies does damage based on the characters weigh+the character's vertical force. So for instance, Lydia is light so she does 12 damage naturally by jumping on enemies, with force added to her being airborne, it will add damage based on how fast you are falling.
Characters are able to equip an assortment of weapons that all characters share together. Once you equip a weapon or armor, it will automatically be equipped to everyone who is able to equip the armor or weapon. This same system applied in Monster World 2: The Dragon's trap. Its the best way to do this since we have a rather large party coming in. I believe the cast is 18 characters.
The skill grid is a brand new concept to the Monster World series. With this system, you can improve character stats, increase Health and Magic Points, decrease the time magic recovers, increase the potency of recovery items, decrease the chances of you being poisoned, and much more. After playing games like Final Fantasy X and XII, this became one of(if not my favorite)my favorite kinds of stat-developing systems.
An example of the SG
Party System. Remember way back when the game had you pick 2 players and go on a mission. Well, this is a 2D RPG so now as you earn party members you can select them at will.The game will display their stats and will let you know who you are currently playing as.
With loads of new content set in stone, this game can now be longer and more polished than I had ever imagined it would be. The next and largest steps include the skill grid, the equipment, the character gameplay polishing, and of course the storyline. I can't wait to get started and thank you all for your support on this project so far.
Also, here is a test video of the new system. Enjoy!

- Fire:Weak to fire magic
- Water:Weak to water magic
- Wind:Weak to wind magic
- Earth:Weak to earth magic
- Ice:Weak to ice magic
- Lightning:Weak to lightning magic
- Non-elemental:Weak to special magic
- None:Weak to nothing
- Magic All:Weak to all magic
- Slash:Weapons used for cutting like swords or claws
- Pierce:Weapons that are used for stabbing like spears or knives
- Bash:Weapons that crush or use impact such as rods or hammers
- Weapon All:Weak to all weapons

Wonderboy 30th Anniversary/What's New Part 2
Hello everyone, XBuster here with a new update on the game. Here we go! In case you didn't know, 2016 is the 30th anniversary to the original 1986 release of the original Wonderboy.
1)New Monsters! Within this image are a total of 45 new monsters that will be scattered across the large world. The bestiary is now bigger than ever. Of course, this means more work, but I'm up for it. It took 12 hours to play and rip Wonderboy 3: Monster Lair frame for frame. It was a complete nightmare!
2) I may have added this late in the last blog, but you now have a custom choice engine the game. I remember a friend of mine (I believe it was Dyhalto) saying to add a custom yes/no engine in the game, so I did. Thanks! Check out some tests below. And yes, they are tests. Not the final phrases XD.
3) New items: With over 30 choices of food to eat in this game, there isn't a reason why you should be hungry XD. An example below is a parfait as big as you are. The food aspect is paying homage to the very roots of the 1986 Classic Wonderboy and Wonderboy III: Monster Lair.
Below is an item that will recover your invincibility time by 10 each time you get one. In this case, your HP is low, so you may need this Asha.
Just in case you didn't see this last time, Wonderboy creator Ryuichi Nishizawa and his crew are creating a new wonderboy game called Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. I've been talking with Ryuichi Directly with the content with Monster World Legends and he was actually quite shocked someone loved the series this much. I'll keep everyone updated.
There is also a video that shows what its like here. I'm so glad to hear this series is still alive. I believe its coming out later in the year, I may be wrong though
Well, that's another small chunk of updates for you all. I hope you enjoyed and Happy 30th anniversary Wonderboy/Monster World!

3) New items: With over 30 choices of food to eat in this game, there isn't a reason why you should be hungry XD. An example below is a parfait as big as you are. The food aspect is paying homage to the very roots of the 1986 Classic Wonderboy and Wonderboy III: Monster Lair.
Below is an item that will recover your invincibility time by 10 each time you get one. In this case, your HP is low, so you may need this Asha.
Just in case you didn't see this last time, Wonderboy creator Ryuichi Nishizawa and his crew are creating a new wonderboy game called Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. I've been talking with Ryuichi Directly with the content with Monster World Legends and he was actually quite shocked someone loved the series this much. I'll keep everyone updated.
There is also a video that shows what its like here. I'm so glad to hear this series is still alive. I believe its coming out later in the year, I may be wrong though
Well, that's another small chunk of updates for you all. I hope you enjoyed and Happy 30th anniversary Wonderboy/Monster World!
Progress Report
MW Underground: What's New?
Hello everyone, sorry for my absence. I decided to work on this project underground and there are quite a few number of changes with this game since the last update. Today, we will be discussing those changes. 2016 is Wonderboy/ Monster World's 30th anniversary, so this game will be released this year.
1) Change of the game system:
Introducing New Monsters!!
Much more is being planned in the shadows. With the next demo being released, it will be the 2nd Semi-Final release and the last Demo before the final product is released. Shortly after, If you're interested, I will be creating a MW engine for new users using this engine. Its been nice being able to do this again. Until next time!
1) Change of the game system:
- The increase of HP and MP are no longer limited to the power ups. These stats now increase when you buy an upgrade or find an upgrade on a map or stage. Thus, this means your HP will not start out as 100 like it used to. You'll probably start out with 30 HP and increase it from there. HP and MP upgrades will have a limit to how much you can buy as well.
- You are now able to travel through areas similar to the other games. You can backtrack from map to map giving the game a linked effect. This is a crucial update since its better than making a bunch of objects/events.
- The physics are being re-invented. The MW games always used a small speed variable rather than the x/y movement as seen in games like Mega Man. With the new physics, you'll be able to go up/down slopes with ease and collide with objects with greater precision.
- The stage system is on the fence of being a HUB map or a stage map. What would you prefer? I know most platform games now use stage maps similar to Mario rather than having you walk everywhere.
- Characters are being polished. Dyhalto, Gourd_Clae, orochii, alterego, and TheRexion; I have not forgotten your character entries and they are not leaving anytime soon. I have a grand plan for them all. Hope you guys don't mind waiting a little longer to see your characters in action.
- Wallet increase-You can now hold up to 9,999,999 Gold.
- Custom Choice Engine!! Finally you can play this game completely withought a mouse. You can choose between yes or no easily now. You can't jump in front of NPCs such as people, signs, and treasure chests. Once you are away from an NPC, you can jump again.
Introducing New Monsters!!
- Some monsters are from previous Wonderboy installments, others are custom or merged. New monsters include the Lamia, Bumble Bee, Rat, Moth, Snail, Laser eye, Squid, and whatever this bird is XD. Others are coming as well such as the Elepahnt, Crocodile, Fairy, and much more.
Much more is being planned in the shadows. With the next demo being released, it will be the 2nd Semi-Final release and the last Demo before the final product is released. Shortly after, If you're interested, I will be creating a MW engine for new users using this engine. Its been nice being able to do this again. Until next time!
