Monsterpatch, the cozy RPG best described as a hybrid between Pokemon and Stardew Valley, is now at 1500% Kickstarter funding with $234,000 pledged, and that has unlocked a new stretch goal that adds Animal Crossing-style fossils and a museum to the game.

When we first reported on Monsterpatch a couple weeks ago, it had been fully funded on Kickstarter in just 16 minutes and had almost $60,000 in pledges against a modest, and weirdly specific, goal of $11,597. Today, it has almost 20 times the amount of money solo developer Sean Young originally hoped for, proving a massive appetite for retro-looking RPGs with creature catching and farming elements.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
