Its harder than you might think to come up with 100 monsters, or at least 100 good monsters. I've been doing a lot of looking through the pokedex and Magic decks and even some Yugioh and its pretty obvious which ones are pet favorites of their creators and which ones were like, c'mon y'all we gotta fill this roster out.
Still, I'm pretty uncompromising in my vision, so when this thing does get off the ground, you won't have to worry about Mr. Mime or a racoon with a rocket launcher cropping up. I do have some silly's in there cause I'm not exactly made out of stone, but if its going to be goofy or trite its going to be for a reason, not just to get from #67 to #68. Which is a pretty arrogant claim at this point, cause I think I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 38.
I'm sticking to 100 as a hard target for launch, though if the code is really working solid and the writers block is made of adamantium we may drop down to 75 or 50 just to push this bitch out the door. Its not like I can't add them later, thats the whole point of the thing.
Speaking of code, things are going suprisingly well. I've had no real snags outside of inspiration and my unending personal failure, aesthetic design. Domination's in, the map (code) is in, non-battle regen is in, and yesterday I had some brilliant ideas for how summoning and dismissing beasts is going to work with the ui.
Off to work I go. Stay tuned.
