Apple Quest Monsters DX
A downloadable Bestiary
Apple Quest Monsters DX!
Over 100 pages containing 85 lovingly crafted sprites and descriptions of monsters, a map, photos and more; all from a non existant RPG, inspired by my childhood love of reading strategy guides for games I never played.
I spent a lot of time on each monster, so I hope you enjoy reading them!

This is an enhanced version of Apple Quest Monsters, containing all the content from the physical DX release! 30 new monsters coming from the Desert, Tundra and the Moon, A small town full of NPCs, and a few photos of the monsters in the real world!

is there any chance of physical copies being available again?
Absolutely wonderful. Was meaning to play this for about a year now, and finally found the time!
Below are a video(s) of me live reacting / analysing? every monster. I recall discussing hedonism especially for a bit, along with your use of single pixels which was amazingly done...
Beautiful job, keep up the stunning work.
hewwo im echoing the same as others, saw this in super eye patch wolfs video and would love to buy the phyiscal copy of the guide this is fantastic!!
thank you for this!
shout out to eyepatch wolf for reminding me to come buy the deluxe edition after loving the free version when i saw it.
Eyepatch Wolf send me. I need this in my life. Thank you.
Hey Splendidland, I used to work with you on Moderneopets, and I was really surprised to hear when Eyepatchwolf mentioned you in his video (The Bizarre World of Fake Video Games). It's totally filled with the style and personality I remember you for, but also just the huge passion you seemed to hold for things you're nostalgic for. Very proud of you, keep it up!
I love the artwork! I noticed the backgrounds of the pages slowly changing colors! Really inspired me to do this with my OCs one day!
the pixel art is just beautiful. I love this kind of guide for a video game that doesn't exist.(even though i do wish this is real!) fits well for ttrpgs for monster taming or straight up fighting them right up there with VERMIS!
to everyone wondering about physical copies, essentially i need to do a lot of annoying calculations to figure out post-brexit shipping rates for international postage! but hopefully i can get it back in stock soon!
Is there any way to set an e-mail notification or something for when the physical copies go back on sale?
Does anyone know how I can buy this without using paypal, as it doesn't seem to be working for me?
Another friend here from SEW. SO eager to get my paws on a physical copy if they ever go back into print!!
Came here from Super Eyepatch Wolf. Manuals one of my favorite parts of games and I'm so happy to have learned about this gem! I'd love to own a physical edition if they're ever printed again. Is there any way to sign up for notifications if that ever happens?
Me, like a vulture waiting for the community copies. O __ O
Oh, I'm loving this. So very recognizable: reading the guides, but never playing the games. Any plans on doing reprints of the physical version?
Bestiaries and guides are two of my favorite types of books, and this was an amazing one! Thank you for the amazing writing and art!
This is literature.
This was soooo great. I'd love to read something else like it. Maybe a guide to Apple Quest Monsters 2
Such a fun concept and great art! :D
What did you make this on
someone make a game for this
I didn't realize it until I read it in the manual but reading guides for games I didn't own and would never play (mostly in Nintendo Power) is exactly what drew me to this. Wonderful!
can I do fanart?
sorry for the late responce! i always welcome fanart!
very cool! I like it a lot!
My heart hurts, these are fantastic! Lets make a game together! I'll pay you.
Hey, May I use this to make an actual game? I know it's not an asset pack, It's just that I'd LOVE To create a game using stuff from the book! It's fine if not, I thought I'd ask!
I love everything about this book, and it creates such a powerful and wonderful sense of nostalgia in me. I love bestiaries so much and this is a perfect one.
This book is a wonderful little idea. When I saw the map of Pommeland, I was immediately filled with a powerful sense of nostalgia and longing for a game that doesn't exist. I'd love to see something even more extensive like this from you in the future. A really wonderful book. Thank you.
Hi
Just in case. There are some really wonderful sprites, Can I use them for other products?
Thanks
Hello!
This is not an asset pack, so no, sorry!

I truly enjoyed reading this (even though I'm still only at page 25)! It's kind of sad though that this is only a book and not really a game. And not just that, the artwork is just so beautiful!
your'e right bud
I loved reading the original and didn’t know there was a DX version! Thank you for making it and for putting it in the BLM bundle.
heeey will you print any more copies any time soon?
cuz if you won't, I'll buy the digital, but it'd be raad
heya, thank you for the comment! i would love to print more copies but since i pack and post them all myself, with my health conditions and the current pandemic i won't be able to until things are safer, sorry! but it will happen eventually!
ok, thxx :)
All I expected was some trivial novelty. What I got was subversive and deeply funny. Love it.
I love this so much and I can't pick which monster is the best.
Got this in the bundle, and it was delightful the whole way through, especially the pixel art. I did notice two minor mistakes, though (I'll give monster numbers to avoid spoilers):
- No. 19 has a black bar behind its title
- No. 71 has two consecutive "a"s in this sentence; "It sprays a a hallucinogenic gas..."
These didn't detract from the experience at all, though. My favourites were No. 27, 31, and 59. I'd love to see more fake strategy guides in the future.
I was delighted to see this in the bundle! The first time I ever went to my (now) girlfriend's house, she showed me all her coolest books. I ended up reading the entirety of this one together with her and discussing the monsters we liked best. A good few months later into the relationship, she said she found it really sweet how invested I got in the stuff she liked. It's a really nice memory! Now we are like the Power Beetles in real life.
this is so wonderful, i'm really glad you both enjoyed the book so much!
I'm getting some real Princess Tomato vibes.
i really enjoyed this! i particularly like how they all seem to fit nicely in this little world you've created. so cute!
This looks like earth bound on crack and I love it, do you have any plans on making this into a real game? or creating licensable assets?
This so cute and usefull ! Your bestiary is a powerfull tool for anyone who want ta craft a RPG - tabletop or videogame. Thank you so much
