Monster Breeder Games (And Ideas)

Mixing species would be great. Or colors, I really loved Chao garden's variety. It's not a thing a lot of games do, it'd be great if you did.

This, mixing crickets is the best

Oh yeah! I always forget about that mini-game. I've always heard that a lot of people played it more than the rest of the game.

Yeah, being able to breed various colors based on parents would be cool. Also, transferring moves/abilities based on parents is pretty crucial.

I haven't played very many but I enjoyed Dragon Quest Monsters on DS. Triple battles before Pokemon did, and breeding creatures actually gave you different species. I also played Crystal Monsters but it was clunky on the DS and it ends without saving after defeating the final boss.

Do you think he triple battles are more interesting.

They seem like they'd be more difficult to balance than one on one battles.

I think I liked it because it was different. Also the battles looked like a crude version of the XY battle format, with 3D models and an area background, while Pokemon was still in gen 4 with still sprites. And you could see the monsters roaming around, which meant you could try to battle or avoid them. If they made a DQM game for 3DS or Wii U, it has the potential to be beautiful.

Whatever format I choose, I'm pretty sure I have to stick with. So, if I do singles, doubles, or triples, I have to build the game around that.

I kind of like the idea of having support monsters, so I think I might at least do double battles, with turns working like Pokemon.

The Dragon Quest Monsters series were always cool, I just didn't like a lot of the endgame monster designs.

Maybe I should take a page from their book, though.

As a kid Monster Rancher was always one of my favorite series. But they never had an "overworld" map.

Consider play Breeding Seasons.
Even if you don't like the "theme", the sistem is pretty based, worth play.

A new DQ monsters is coming out this year for 3Ds

Really? I'll have to give it a shot. What about it is good?

Also, unrelated to that:
I just thought of something that could be pretty cool. Imagine your Momsters have Abilities similar to Pokemon abilities, but then they also have a secondary ability that can be bred onto them. Secondary abilities wouldn't be as powerful as most Primary abilities, but they stack.

So a Monster's primary ability may be "Heat Gaurd: This Monster's Fire attacks deal 1.5x damage when below half health", but you could breed a secondary ability on him, like "Pyromania: This Monster's Attack score raises whenever it uses a fire attack".

Combined with a system like visible IVs, breedable moves, and maybe other inherited traits, this would make a really interesting breeding system.

I can't explain everything, you must try it.

I'm just sure that you'ill don't like the "theme", but all things that you can incorporate into you game make it worth to play.
The breeding don't pass only stats, but hair style/color, skin color, major and minor traits, personal tastes, family tree...
Its weird when a non sfw game have a based content/sistem.

Too bad the game has been shut down and canceled due to a falling out within the group. It's left in a really unfinished state so not sure how long it will be enjoyable.

Hmm. So the "monsters" or slaves that you breed truly feel unique because they are comprised of pieces/parts of their parents. That would be a pretty great feature to add...it would take a long time to implement. But it seems like something that would be worth it.

When I think about it, one way I could implement this, is having "types" crossbreed to make different colored offspring that adopt their type and weaknesses.

For example, let's say there's a Monster called Reiko. When caught in the wild, Reiko is a Water Monster that's blue, and has short horns. However, if you breed a Reiko with a compatible Fire Monster, you now have a red Reiko with a few Fire moves, and a weakness inherited from it's parent.

All this would take is mapping the color of each monster, and somehow letting monsters exchange color schemes over that color map.

Yep. I'm sure it is already finished. We just have no more updates, monsters and/or new animations.
You can find 7.1 and 7.4 easily. The last 7.6 one is just for patreons.

>Reiko with a few Fire moves, and a weakness inherited from it's parent.
Basically this. You breed a Pikachu with a flying pokemon, you got Emolga.

Also, pic related, another breeding game. Shallow but funny.
