Our Pledge
1. We pledge never to go for the cash-grab
When we started making this game back in 2021, it was only because our dream game wasn't out there in the world. The last four years of development have sprouted from that core idea. We're not here to get buckets-full of cash. We're here to make a fun game and share it with others.
2. We pledge to avoid "power-creep" where possible
Some power-creep is inevitable, but one of our guiding principles has always been to make sure all cards are viable to play. We don't want to price people out of playing the game because they have to keep buying the new cards to stay competitive. Our goal is to make new cards that showcase new and exciting ways to play, so that you can uncover all that the Monster Coast has to offer!
3. We pledge, and this should go without saying, to NEVER use AI art
We've spent four years to make over 180 pieces of art for this game. We respect the process and understand that the best things don't always happen fast. And we appreciate all of the experience our artists have had that have led to the work they create. We’ve specifically brought our artists into this project because we love what they do and believe in what they can bring into a project like this. That is something AI will never be able to replicate.

4. We pledge to be as eco-friendly as we can
This goes for our packaging, shipping and printing and any other ways we can find. After all, without this beautiful planet there would be no high seas for us to adventure on. We're always looking for new ways to be more eco-friendly - please see the bottom of this page!
5. We pledge to keep the game fun!
We’ve been playing and tweaking this game for four years and the core of that has, and always will be, so that people have fun playing!
6. We pledge to divert any and all ships away from the fogs of the Automaton Zone. Seriously. Don't go there if you value your life.
Consider yourself warned.
Our Eco Pledge
As we're exploring printers for the game, we're looking at all options available to make this game as eco-friendly as possible. This includes using paper wrappers instead of plastic ones, exploring inks that are better for the planet, boxes held closed with recyclable stickers instead of shrink wrap and more.
​
However, we're only two people and there are so many resources out there. If you know of a new process or technique that would be good for us to explore or a company that would be good for us to work with, please reach out to us at herebemonstersthegame@gmail.com.
