The Android ALPHA version of Vilmonic Mobile is READY FOR TESTING. (iOS coming SOON!)
The mobile version is free-to-play, with alacarte in-app purchases to unlock the full features of the desktop version.
The game is very stable and very playable (on all of my test devices and emulators) but runs slowly on 32 bit architecture (you will probably want to turn "frame skipping" on).
Email me (m@bludgeonsoft.org) or DM* me your Google Play email address if you want to try it out!
* You may need to friend me here first.
Update Version 1.02 is LIVE
Changes include:
New beverage: Liquidium!
A camera is now required to export creatures

New achievement: Zombiton Summoner

Join the BETA for version 1.02!
(This pic is a hint at one of the changes coming.)
If anyone wants to try out the beta on Steam, here's the code:
letsallbeta102
To use this code (you must already own Vilmonic), restart your Steam client (just in case) and go to your Steam library and right-click on Vilmonic in the list of games, then select "Properties" from the popup menu. In the window that opens, click on the "BETAS" tab and paste the beta access code in the text area provided then click on the "CHECK CODE" button. Once the beta is unlocked, you can switch back and forth between beta and latest release using the drop-down menu at the top of the tab.
Status: Continuing work on the next update and DLC packs!
Playing around with some new items for "vanilla" Vilmonic, plus experimenting with new life forms and craftables packs.
Here's a mock-up for the in-game GENE EDITOR I'm working on. Trying to simplify the UI as much as possible to work with mouse/touch. Top: copy buffer, Bottom: genes and selection range.
If it seems like I'm bouncing around haphazardly between Vilmoniprojects, it's because I AM! Gene Editor... or New Life Form... or Mobile... or Humod Future... or More Craftables... Ugh, which one next??? :-)

Vilmonic Soundtrack is OUT!
Experience the strange sounds of the synthorganic post-vilmoniclysmic far future in the relative safety and comfort of your own home.
This collection of outstanding music includes 20 songs from the Vilmonic Soundtrack as well as 3 BONUS TRACKS never before heard outside of the Vilmonicomputer.
All 23 tracks brought to you by the world-class masterful virtuoso experimental band Wizardmaster​ in hi-fidelity MP3 and lossless FLAC formats.
Based on cellular automata, i.e. Conway's Game of Life, with some additions to make them fit into the Vilmoniverse. Will poison fungs? Can be eaten?? Antagonize zombs??? New crafting ingredient????
This will be a new DLC add-on. Here's an animation showing how jelly-like these are: https://twitter.com/Bludgeonsoft/status/1096223238911225857
Another add-on in the works, L-system "trees":
Status: Working on DLC
Working on the mechanism for implementing DLC in Vilmonic. Here's my test, a new avatar add-on body part!
