Hi. You can either or or do both :) 

Yes absolutely. There are easy to use tools for increasing pixel size too (like for monsters, trainers, etc. And tileset is also quite easy)

The Steam version is a bit different (it is cheaper and gamified) and won't include a Steam key with the itch purchase, however we're thinking of providing a 25-75% discount code to all itch owners.

By adapt my tool to RPG maker do you mean make it compatible with RPG Maker? It's not possible, however, the tool will soon become as intuitive as RPG Maker but with less limitations so please look forward to that^^

Hello, what did you feel like you are missing? You can add me and message me on discord @yanako_rpgs too if you want^^

Thanks for letting me know, I should be able to fix it pretty quickly :) The demo just got ported to HTML so having some issues still at this stage is to be expected. I'll update it as soon as I can.

There's a written tutorial available in the tutorials section of the official MonMae discord server. I've linked you to the exact message:

https://discord.com/channels/1012975690561368075/1137368906483388417/1158011862609297458

There will be a new tutorial video about this in December or January after we remake our youtube tutorial series for the new, updated version of MonMae

GameMaker is used for asset handling and for exporting your game. please check out the first set up tutorial if you want more info :)

Absolutely. My game "Dokimon: Quest" has 9 total and you can collect multiple palettes for each monsters... this is the default :)

Nope! No limit~ I chose to do 4 per sprite but you don't have to do the same~ Alt palette monsters are also easy to implement, just change their colors and set them as frame 2 in your monsters sprite!

Thank you :D

sprites can be bigger yes, no limit on monsters added to the game (can be 5, 100, 999, or more), and no limit on elements

MonMae hasn't seen much progress this month as I've been crunching down on Dokimon and there will probably be a couple weeks before I pick it back up but party battling will be added within a few weeks :)

Hello~ Animated idle sprite implementation is already in the engine, and adding attack, hurt, etc wouldn't be difficult or time consuming at all.

If you need help setting it up, let me know in the MonMae discord server and I will direct you exactly on how to do it :)

Hey~ It's limited only to this engine, but you can buy just the assets instead (and use in any engine) from this bundle :
https://itch.io/s/73088/retro-boy-assets-complete-bundle

Absolutely! You can use 100% of your own assets, or 50% mine and 50% yours... whatever you want or need :)

My assets simply serve as a placeholder for people that aren't artistically inclined, but you're welcome to use as much or little as you want for your projects~

Hello~ There's no limit to how many types you can have, but currently about 13 or so are available. It's also quite easy to add in more :) and of course you can change the names rather accessibly~

Effectiveness amounts and the type chart is also fully customizable!

it occasionally goes on pretty generous sales :) the reason for the high cost is due to the inclusion of the included assets that comes with the engine. Though, once the engine gets finished there will be cheaper versions available that don't include all of the assets and just only focus on the engine 

Heyo~ just wanted to let you know MonMae (and all related asset packs) just went on a sale in case you were interested :)

Hello :) All of this is perfectly fine, you can add your own custom monsters to the game, if you need to you can even commission my team to make them for you, but probably you won't need to go that far

Yes the game you play in browser on this page is made through this program so you should be able to do it just the same :)

Hey~ Just the assets. Of course, if you make a game with the assets you can sell that game using these assets :) you just can't strip the assets out and sell those by themselves, or strip the assets out to use in another engine (if you wanna use a different engine please see my individual asset packs for sale). Hope that clears it up!

Hello, thank you so much for your interest in the project :) I haven't delved into multiplayer yet as there as still some things I wanna do first that I believe are more important and more useful for the users. You can read about what I have in story in the devlogs attached to this page :)

As for multiplayer, I think probably it will be the last thing I do, if it's within the realm of possibility. I'm planning to have all the features I have planned for MonMae finished sometime next year, so once that happens, I will do my research and see if multiplayer can be added somehow, because that's a feature that not only lots of people have asked for but it's also something I really want to do and implement and see in my own projects too^^

Hey~ The only assets that don't come with it are 2 of the starters sets :)

Sorry :( The only thing I can recommend for this instead is watching the YouTube tutorials (they're linked on this page) and also joining my discord server and asking other people what they think or how their experience has been.
Eventually I'm gonna be uploading even more tutorials, and also probably even some devlogs so that you can get further insight, but for now what I mentioned above is all I can offer you.
When the tool goes on Steam we might have a demo, but that's a long ways off.

Ahh, thank you. I will fix it. I appreciate you letting me know!

Hey I'm so glad to hear that :) Let me know if you have any questions! You can also chat with me and fellow developers in the discord linked at the bottom of the page, or check out the YouTube tutorials if you wanna learn more about the engine^^

Hello, of course you can battle other trainers! Did you play the demo? I'm not sure if the demo let's you get as far as battling players, but it's very possible yes :)

We even have an intuitive trainer editor that we just recently released that lets you make trainers and assign their monster teams. You can see avideo of that here.

Absolutely~ There are separate assets available that contain the artwork. You can find those here:  Assets

Hello, we do have plans to make a version similar to how you outlined at a discounted price, but we're waiting until the majority of MonMae updates are finished to keep development smooth. If we open up and start updating and supporting two versions of MonMae it would create difficulties and delays.

Hello~ Yes that's mostly correct. This is the engine only, and the bundle is the engine + all assets with licenses to use those assets in other engines or however you please. 

When buying the engine only, we ask users to not export assets out of the engine.

Hello, I've never used the itch.io app before but I believe (and I could be wrong) that that's for games only?
If you use the website, you should be able to download everything no problem 

Analogy? Do you mean the Captals? I'm not sure what you're asking but if you need help can you please ask in the discord? 😁 It's linked above these comments 

Hey :) Thanks so much for the input. We do sales pretty often so maybe keep an eye out, as we've seen prices as low as 60$

I'll be working on a cheaper version that doesn't include goodies like the massive amounts of art, music, and sounds, for those that want to save, and make their own of those anyway, so perhaps you can wait for one of those~ We haven't done so thus far since the engine is still in development and we don't have the capacity to submit multiple versions just yet, however we have plans to do so once MonMae is where we want it to be^^

The system runs off GMS, so I don’t think that would be possible.

Heyo~ Thanks for your interest in the project :)

We have a roadmap type thing in our discord group, which is basically a to-do list that shows things we've completed, are currently working on, and will be working on very soon.Here's a link to that.

I can also add a "future goals" section to that page if you're interested in hearing more about that as well~

Hello :) It's not possible just yet but it will be very soon. I have already made and coded this feature and I will be adding it into the engine after more testing^^

As for PvP, we do have plans to implement it, but it's still a little ways off as we have other priorities at the moment.

Heyo! Just wanted to let you know that follower monsters have been implemented and are working in the newest version :)

The new version is live and I will be pushing out a devlog for it once a patch update goes out~

I will perhaps do it one day, once the engine is much farther along :)

You can make games for consoles :) It's almost impossible to make a game engine for console, however we would be able to make like a "make your own game" where you can create games and send them to friends and stuff, similar to mario maker :)
