It allows for quick and simple creation of games similar to existing tools like RPG Maker, Mega Man Maker, and GB Studio, but aims to remove the limitations inherent in such tools. The engine has been fine tuned over many years and features game building objects that are quick and easy to use. A series of tutorial videos will be launched alongside the engine, and there will be helper channels available on Discord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using MonTamer Maker, it will be possible to create battle systems like those in monster tamer games. It comes with a large number of features including a customizable set of monster moves, six stat types, a planned 12 elemental types, over 70 monster varieties, a speed priority system, status effects, and abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, in order to allow for true palette swapping, the artwork available in MonTamer Maker is being developed with careful attention to the coloring. Users will be able to choose from a wide variety of colors to use on the monsters, characters, items, buildings, trees, etc.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"380\" height=\"342\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-001-1-380x342.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-001-1-380x342.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-001-1-600x540.png 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-001-1-150x135.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-001-1-300x270.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-001-1-467x420.png 467w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-001-1.png 680w\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Dokimon<\/em> is a monster tamer game that is being developed with MonTamer Maker. It will be available for PC via Steam and is planned for release in December 2022. The game is about creatures called Dokimon that begin to appear in the modern world following a close call with an asteroid collision. The player goes on an adventure to discover the mystery of the Dokimon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is for <em>Dokimon <\/em>to serve as a reference for users of MonTamer Maker, and the game will be completely open source. All of the game\u2019s assets, including the art and music, will be available with full commercial use licenses. It will even be possible to export the assets for use in other game engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dokimon<\/em> will feature over 20 playable characters, each with over ten swappable color palettes. There will also be day and night versions available for all color palettes which makes it easy to implement a day and night cycle into your game by alternating between the lighter and darker colors.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"306\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-002.jpg 680w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-002-600x270.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-002-380x171.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-002-150x68.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202891-002-300x135.jpg 300w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The creation of both MonTamer Maker and <em>Dokimon<\/em> is currently being crowdfunded via a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/nuumonsters\/dokimon-montamer-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kickstarter campaign<\/a>.
