MEET SIGURD ❄️ The formation “Winterkind” is all new characters: Sigurd, his sister (Sigrid), and her husband (Jimmy). They manage the family business, one of the oldest in the village: a whiskey distillery that’s a front for shadier stuff.

Note: we might simplify the outfit a tiny bit; maybe just removing the glove covers.

Also! Note that while The Coven and this one are “existing groups”, most formations are just recruits together because of lore, theme, or just vibes.

The Chill Hill is a good formation to reveal early, as it allows us to remind you that while most formations are formed by 3 recruits, a few are of 2 recruits and 4 recruits, like this one here.

INTRODUCING… WANDA! The Coven isn’t the only classic group from prior games making a comeback: the Chill Hill is here too. Many chars are getting a new winter-like outfit, like Wanda here. Still, they will wear their regular outfits when possible (like indoors).

INTRODUCING: JOY 🪄 First confirmed recruit. Joy makes it easier to explain the idea of formations, for her formation is “The Coven”. It is formed by 3 recruits, and there are no surprises on who those are :v But some other formations won’t be so easy to predict! 😏

Honestly, our goal is to reveal around 6 during this month. But we’ll see. Excited? 👀

The result? During October there will be lots of reveals. It makes sense since it’s an important month for us. During the next two weeks we will reveal the 6 cosplays for the “Monster Prom 4: Monster Con” October update. But we’ll also be revealing recruits here and there.

We imagine we’ll soon set at one recruit per week. But these days we’ll reveal some more. Why? To start with a bang + since some of those are already confirmed + because next weeks it may be harder to reveal recruits (bc of the MonCon October Update reveals)

The idea is to start revealing one recruit per formation, so it also works as a double reveal and allows for theorizing on who else might be in that formation. Also, before the reveals, we’ll do this: sharing the icons of the formations of the recruits we’ll reveal next.

MONSTER PROM 5: REVEALS So, we’ll start revealing the recruits for “Monster Prom 5: Monster Retreat”. Secret stuff is more like Formation Art or Secret Endings. We’ll reveal just the tip of that, eventually. But recruits we’ll slowly reveal them all, as they’re no secret.

OCTOBER UPDATE 🎃 Later this month an update will come to “Monster Prom 4: Monster Con”. To celebrate Halloween, our 6 hot ROs are getting fancy new cosplays! The theme? Indie games! Six popular and beloved indie games are getting a rendition as outfits for the characters.

🔥🔥🔥

EXTRA NOTE: remember that while we take polls very into account, there's several other criteria that may end up weighing quite a bit, like we may end up realizing one of these is way more costful and hard to do. Still, results of polls play a role when we discuss this stuff.

NOTE: please understand and remember it might be we end up NOT doing any of these two options (for instance if we feel like quickly moving onto the next game) But in case we found ourselves with time and resources for extra post-release content, better to know what people prefer

So we focused on "romance route" (convo + GR event). But we're wondering... if we could do more content for post-release (no guarantees!!), what would people prefer? - Some chars w/ romance ALSO get a plotline (depth) - Some nw chars get romance routes (width)

Also, of course, Vera and Miranda have all that + some plotlines of their own. At 1st we weren't sure for the other NPCs, if plotline or "romance content" (conversation; good relationship event); but we thought the romance aspect is something more basic in the players' wants.

CONVERSATIONS ARE BACK! There's romance in "Monster Prom 5", even if it's not the main focus. There's 8-12 chars who you can bond with, have intimate conversations in the hot springs, and interact with in a "good relationship" event (those that feel like a date). (poll below)

There will be 20+ arts for formations! Which character you wanna see as part of epic formation art?
