Jotoyo Announces Monster Fantasy on Steam and Sets July 15 Kickstarter
The Steam reveal highlights split combat and life‑simulation systems, AI‑driven villagers, creature taming, and a crowdfunding drive to finish the game.
Overview
- Jotoyo published a reveal trailer and Steam page on Wednesday, June 24, announcing Monster Fantasy for PC and scheduling a Kickstarter campaign to launch July 15 while giving no release date.
- The studio says the game is built as two independent modules so players can pursue hardcore monster hunting or cozy village life with separate progression for each path.
- Monster Fantasy will feature more than 50 giant monsters that can be hunted, tamed, evolved, and in some cases used as rideable mounts that fight alongside players.
- Life‑simulation systems include farming, fishing, cooking, crafting, village building, and about 100 unique villagers who will use LLM and text‑to‑speech tech to generate real‑time, free‑form dialogue.
- Jotoyo is a roughly 20‑person Chengdu indie team using the Steam reveal and the July 15 crowdfunding push to raise funds needed to complete the multiplayer-focused, hybrid project.
