hello! i've been binging supereyepatchwolf and saw this in one of his videos, and was instantly enamored. this looks so gorgeous!! i'm so excited to take a look. echoing what people have said here that i would love a physical copy if they ever become available again. :)
Love getting to say I knew about this cool little book BEFORE Super EyePatch Wolf made it cool. 😎 (Seriously though, great to see this book getting some renewed love.)
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...
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!
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!
i don't really want to do that for no good reason at all! i like doing it myself! I have some new books coming this year, so i will hopefully get apple quest back in stock alongside them!
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?
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!
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.
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!
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!

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!

Is there any way to set an e-mail notification or something for when the physical copies go back on sale?
Why not utilize something like Lulu . com that would print for you?
i don't really want to do that for no good reason at all! i like doing it myself! I have some new books coming this year, so i will hopefully get apple quest back in stock alongside them!
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!!

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.

Hi
Just in case. There are some really wonderful sprites, Can I use them for other products?
Thanks

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

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.
