Skullgirls creator is the lead character designer on this unsurprisingly horny Pokemon-inspired RPG where you catch and date over 120 monster girls and guys

Anything with Skullgirls creator and character designer Alex Ahad attached is bound to be filled with cute monster girls, and that's definitely the case with Miss Monster: Bound By Fate, a Pokemon and EarthBound-inspired turn-based RPG where you recruit and battle with over 120 monster girls and guys.

I say recruit, but developer Squidbat goes all-in on Miss Monster's Kickstarter campaign, which has more than doubled its $15,000 goal in a few days. "A monster girl (and guy!) catching game where you can really get to know your monsters!" it says. When the dev says "really get to know," they mean really get to know based on the "Dating?!" subsection of the Kickstarter. 

"You can't trust a stranger to watch your back, right? Get to know your monsters in a one-on-one setting," it reads. "Bond with them, and they might be willing to fight that much harder for you! Each character has a unique, interesting perspective on the world. You'll have to be careful not to upset them with something you say. But, maybe if you spend enough time with one of your friends, you could take things to the next level...?" 

I'm not totally clear on the practical or in-universe ethics of "catching," battling, and flirting with demonstrably intelligent beings who are technically only half-monsters known as Quelaga. "Most humans are distrustful of them, seeing them as little more than beasts, but you know better than that. They're every bit as intelligent as humans!" Squidbat says, leaving no room for doubt. There's an oddly grisly section in the trailer, too, but several Japanese games and anime have certainly gotten away with weirder ideas than this California-based studio startup.  

Much of the art for Miss Monster is currently unfinished, but the character designs, headed up by Ahad, who was joined by the likes of crybringer and Alex Griffith, have clear Skullgirls energy.
