+
+The Beast of Monte Carlo by [@Syn-Nine][synnine-twitter] is a mini role-playing
+game in development to help work out new features for Syn9's
+[Rust Mini Game Framework][mgfw].
+
+This month's progress included:
+
+- prototyping tilemap and frame-based animation to make a simple walkaround
+engine
+- creating a general purpose maze generation algorithm and porting random world
+map generation from C++ to Rust
+- creating new sprite artwork and animation, as well as mocking up the battle
+system
+
+The gameplay and art is influenced by games such as Final Fantasy VI and Lufia
+II with a heavy focus on procedural content generation.
