Ludic Lemur is developing the Monsterhearts TTRPG, created by Canadian designer Avery Alder @lackingceremony.bsky.social of Buried Without Ceremony, into a computer game.

Monsterhearts: Welcome to Drowned Lake will launch on Kickstarter in the summer of 2025.

@abletoplay.com Hey! We made a free to play, highly accessible audio game/experiment, and we were wondering if there's an application process for having it listed on your site?

Hear ye, hear ye! All Lemurs to the auditorium!

Drowned Lake has found our new student Council President! (Our highest tier in the Kickstarter!) and we're absolutely over the moon about it. It's an amazing level of support for us and it genuinely brings tears of joy to our little lemur eyes!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

A huge thank you to everyone who is sharing around our Kickstarter trailer. We're really excited and can't even begin to express how grateful we are for the support of all you rad lemurs!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

Thanks! We lemurs are pro rad things, and are really hoping to be able to drag more awesome queer art into the world!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

Thanks! We're really excited and we're really hoping this lets us not only bring Monsterhearts to a new platform and new audiences, while still making something the folks who love the tabletop game will also enjoy. We're even adding mods, so you can adapt it for other PBTA games!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

We really appreciate that! We wanted something that captured the feel we're going for, and shows that we're really taking staying true to the soul of the game seriously.

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

It is! We're really excited to be making it. We're planning to add modding tools too, so you can use it to make your own Monsterhearts experiences come to life even once you've played through the story! NERDY LEMUR FLAIL!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

We genuinely appreciate that Brian! We're doing our best to live up to the highest hopes of genuine fans like yourself!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

We're really excited!

It's been a ton of work by a lot of really talented folks getting here, and we're really excited to share it with existing fans and bring it to a new audience!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

Thanks!

We lemurs prize being rad above most things and strive very hard to live up to it!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 8d

To be honest that'll likely depend on the stretch goals we hit, but it's going to be quite a lot either way, as there's a lot of branching paths and different skins and backgrounds will have unique dialogue in a lot of cases. Our writer mastered the art of holding a pen in their tiny lemur paws.

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 9d

Lemurs! Lemurs! Listen up! It's here!

Our Kickstarter for Monsterhearts: Welcome to Drowned Lake is live! Go check it out at www.kickstarter.com/projects/lud... !

Join us as we make rad queer art with our tiny lemur paws!

We're continuing to unveil some of the NPCs for Monsterhearts: Welcome to Drowned Lake. While the reveal will be up elsewhere tomorrow, as a little treat to our Bluesky Lemurs (who have been incredibly supportive throughout our dev process) we're posting it up here first! So enjoy this sneaky peek!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · 17d

There's a lot of darkness out there right now folks. And it's scary. But we have each other, and so long as we raise each other up, we're gonna hold on. Keep creating. Keep being awesome. Keep being good to each other. Keep finding joy.

Self improvement is awesome, especially when it yields something you can look back on and be proud of in the process! This looks fantastic already, the contrast of blue and green leans into a lot of tropical reptiles. A lot of them have yellow highlights too, in case you need accents 😀

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · Sep 10

Make sure to post the results! It sounds like you're going to have some great stuff to show off and as you surely know, Lemurs love seeing folks creative endeavours.

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · Sep 10

The amount of life goals on display here is absolute madness. Pure aspiration.

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · Sep 10

What I'm hearing is a sequel to Elite Beat Agents featuring ancient artifacts and punching Nazis in exciting locations set to outstanding music.

Lemur approved!

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · Sep 10

Goats ARE pretty great, even moreso with powers. That's what makes them the second best animal. After the noble Lemur, Obviously.

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · Sep 10

Contrasting green and purple can yield stunning results that read really well, both from a distance and up close and would call to mind the Florida Iguana or the Purple Panther Chameleon. There's also some great spots near the teeth to put pink gums as small but noticeable accents.

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · Sep 10

Hey all you lovely Lemurs! (Also Raccoons, Marmosets, and at least one Marsupial.)

As our Kickstarter approaches, we wanted to introduce you all to some of the NPCs of Drowned Lake. The town holds many secrets, and so too do the residents. You'll need their help to unravel the mysteries.

Ludic Lemur @ludiclemur.bsky.social · Sep 5

Hear ye, hear ye! Calling all Lemurs!

Today we bring forth the Queen, long may they reign. Will they do so with benevolence, boosting those around them and making them truly better? Or will they rule with intrigue, gossip and tyranny? Only the Queen can know for sure.
