Hello Everyone! Today marks one week since the launch of Monster Crown into Early Access. It has been an incredibly busy but also incredibly exciting time. It has been such a thrill to see you all get hands on and share your creations, thoughts and kind words. The launch has been a huge success and I'm honestly humbled by the reception!
Just like our Kickstarter, it inspires me further to ensure Monster Crown reaches the content and quality that you all absolutely deserve. We've fixed so many bugs and improved the gameplay flow over the past week and I appreciate the faith you've all shown by joining us so early in EA. There is no risk of this project becoming abandoned or no longer a priority, Monster Crown is the only game I have any interest in working on. Yesterday's build was well received and offered a lot of great functionality in the beta branch so that will now be pushed out to everyone. When you play this weekend I think you'll notice the difference, especially with the box system and online! Of course I remain committed to squashing all bugs so keep sending them my way on our bug reports steam forum, twitter or our bug reporting tool and if you end up in any sort of "stuck" situation my DMs are always open, and I can fix your saves. You are never an inconvenience to me. I also wanted to share all the code monsters that have been released so far. Many of these monsters are very rare or cannot be accessed until later parts of the game, however, they are ready for showtime, so you can use these codes to access them. 78MJNEYTYFthe Terrible Croc! Frigidile! UMC3N7KDNDthe Tunneling Jaw! Molkuran! DGJDF8PNK5the Crushing Cold! Ix! IFSPIQIKNBthe Body-Bag Cobra! Taupsy! PPGO34NJNNthe little Sadist! Hooclaw! PPKO34NJNNthe slicing shadow! Crawkadaga! I had a question about move inheritance so I wanted to set the record straight on that. Child monsters receive a level up learnset that is a merge of both parents. If there is a conflict (say Primary Monster learns Swallow Water at 7 and Secondary Monster learns Swipe) it'll inherit that of the primary parent. Yes, this means that eventually after enough generations your monster could learn a new move from level 1 to 100! Right now the parent's current moves fill the offspring's moveset so until you can forget them, you can't really make a lot of use of that level up learnset. For that reason I want to share that the move learner/relearner will be in our first content pack and you'll get access to all of your monster's genetic potential movepool, this is retroactive so don't feel like you should hold off on breeding until then. Hope you all have a great weekend and just an FYI, the latest build is v1.448.
