more stuff; some of this might be a little judgmental towards certain characters
* DigitalAbomination: Two Keepers:
** [[spoiler: The Blind Keeper is Settlemoon's steward of sorts, running [[DevelopersRoom Luna's palace]] in her absence and "authoring" the game's technical manual. Formerly a FlunkyBoss with a lower position, Luna repurposed his ability for spawning players and objects into the game [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds after she destroyed Settlemoon's Sun Gate in response to losing Sunny]]. Supposedly, witnessing a recording of the incident made the Blind Keeper blind himself, [[{{Conlang}} learn English]], and wish to nudge you out of the game; it's more likely [[SubvertedTrope that Luna edited him to be this way]], however.]]
** [[spoiler: The Forgotten Guardian, "Keeper of all that never came to be", is an unfinished boss that barely even exists within Settlemoon. It fails to spawn in all-the-way whenever even pictures of it appear; aside from in its story card, anyway, which details why it came into such a sorry state. Its equipment is turning to Dust Flakes upon it, such Flakes create equipment that's useless due to an OverflowError in its element types, and Rose is unable to modify it in her [[WorldWreckingWave remodeling of Settlemoon]]; Sunny was working on the Guardian as a surprise for Luna, after all, and Luna hadn't put any work into it for Rose to latch onto. Rose did take [[InfinityPlusOneElement an unused element]] and make upgraded versions of the Dust stuff that use it, however.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:Rose's understanding of Settlemoon, as a player/[[GodModder moderator]] and not as a developer/administrator, gradually forms a schism between them and Luna. They don't understand why Luna changed elements of Settlemoon (especially while it was down, without any feedback from the community), and they don't get why Luna and the player would want to bring on the Sunrise if it would possibly mean the game's crashing. When they wrest control of their Settlemoon from Luna, they convert the Keepers into [[UpgradedBoss tougher bosses]] and add [[LastDiscMagic additional equipment to collect]], [[EarlyGameHell pulling up the base of the ladder]] because they think that adding an extra challenge for hardcore fans like themselves will keep the game alive for longer. That the game has Sunrise Sprouts [[NewGamePlus after Rose's departure]] implies they made some amends with Luna [[MayThisNeverHappenAgain before leaving]], but they don't show any guilt towards the player in their farewell.]]

He also made [[spoiler:the Sun Gate, which players entered and exited from [[HeroicBSoD until Luna nuked it]] after his final departure; a blue sky and other floating islands can be seen through it, but they're unlikely to be real]].

* AnimalMotifs: The Moons are provided by moths, who are heavily drawn to light.

And lastly, [[spoiler:Sunny and the Sunrise he put into Settlemoon are represented by Monarch Butterflies, diurnal moths who fly far from their birthplace and often never return.]]
* FlowerMotifs: [[spoiler:Rose binds Settlemoon back together with their vines, but their thorns are very inflexible and ultimately choke out whatever doesn't abide by their wishes.

The game places a heavy emphasis on letting the player discover its mechanics on their own, at their own pace, with only just enough tutorialization to point you in the right direction and absolutely no failure states. There is very little text in the game at all, relying instead on pictograms and unlockable story cards to guide the player and tell its story. It also encourages players to beautify their town to their liking, with a plethora of decor that boost nearby shops.

''[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2443780/Settlemoon/ Settlemoon]]'' is a town-building [[IdleGame idle game]] with elements of [[SpaceManagementGame space]] and [[SimulationGame economy]] management. released in July 2023 by Lepioid. Players build and manage a town for adventurers, buying their materials to build more structures, stock shops, and take on progressively more challenging bosses. The game is somewhat similar in philosophy to ''Videogame/{{Majesty}}'' in that you must rely on adventurers that you cannot directly control, but is quite firmly its own thing with a 2d pixel art style, diegetic and dynamic music, and a mysterious story told mostly without words.
The long-abandoned fantasy MMO world of Settlemoon is brought back to life by an [[PlayerCharacter interloper]] who restores its moon and re-lights the skies. With the help of a veteran player from the game's heyday, they build and stock shops for a vibrant and diverse rotation of [[ProceduralGeneration randomly generated]] adventurers, who in turn take on quests and fight bosses for rare materials. As the town expands and players flock back to the game, the world's long-dormant denizens begin to take notice.
The game places a heavy emphasis on letting the player discover its mechanics on their own, at their own pace, with only just enough tutorialization to point you in the right direction and absolutely no failure states. There is very little text in the game at all, relying instead on pictograms and unlockable story cards to guide the player and tell its story. It also encourages players to beautify their town to their liking, with a plethora of decor that boost nearby shops.

!!This game provides examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: In the Ranged shop [[spoiler:and, later, the dedicated Archer shop]] you can sell arrows made of monster teeth and bat wings as well as bombs made out of slime for the Gunner class.
* AntiPoopSocking: Unlike other recent incremental games, the game is intended to be left alone for periods of time. Most players will stock their shops, set a moon, and only return after the timer's up to collect their income and re-stock.
* ApatheticCitizens: Adventurers seem to care little for your goals and struggles. Justified in that they're just here to play an MMO.
* ArtificialAtmosphericActions: In addition to purchasing items from your shops, adventurers will trade and chat with one another, ponder shops and decorations, idly swing their weapons, dance, and even diegetically play the game's soundtrack with a wide variety of instruments.
* CharacterCustomization: The player can copy parts of an adventurer's appearance to apply to their own avatar.
* FunnyAnimal: Some of the world's denizens fit the bill.
* GameWithinAGame: [[spoiler:Settlemoon is framed as an early real-world MMO that the player is helping to revive.]]
* [[spoiler:NewGamePlus]]: [[spoiler:After beating the game you have the option to "re-live Settlemoon". New Game Plus introduces a new boss with a new material, and new decor.]]
* NPCBoomVillage: As the town grows, you'll attract progressively more adventurers and strange new characters.
* PaletteSwap: You can paint buildings and decor with spare resources.
* TheStarsAreGoingOut: The stars in the sky will fade over time after the player refreshes the moon. When the timer runs out and the stars fade, adventurers will stop appearing in the town until a new moon is posted.
**[[spoiler:Faced with the daunting task of running Settlemoon alone after Sunny's disappearance, Luna eventually shut down the original Settlemoon by extinguishing the sky and replacing it with the rune.]]
* TownWithADarkSecret: [[spoiler:Unlocking the town expansion reveals an unused area populated by sketches of unfinished buildings and decorations. The kobold that opens the expansion is visibly confused by what they find.]]
* TwentyBearAsses: You can post quests for adventurers that will net you a number of monster materials. You can also post quests for a specific amount of up to four kind of material, but they will take longer and cost more than a standard monster quest.
* WeirdMoon: One of the most prominent features. [[spoiler: Players can unlock event moons that cause event-only monsters and materials to spawn.]]
