Hello!

I've been so tied up with Content Pack 3 and thinking of little else I almost didn't even realize Halloween was almost here!

That is until Blossom from Soedesco suggested doing something with Harveskin for Halloween - initially I thought of just boosting spawn rates but she actually came up with a terrific alternate palette.

From now until November 6th in the beta branch (Sunday if you're in the main one) if you tame a Harveskin it will have a unique coloration that isn't available on any other monster. Harveskin caught after November 6th will be their normal coloration once again, so be sure to add this limited time special monster to your collection. If you'd like to opt into the beta branch and aren't already, details are below.

Along with that, the eastern desert cavern items have had their ids updated properly so they do not respawn after a reload, I'll be adding the appropriate ids to all the other items in the game over the next few weeks so you can't reload-spam to get a hundred for example.

Honestly whenever there's a situation where more of something is available than intended I'm not in a huge rush to fix it, as thanks to all of you for tolerating bugs and helping me improve the game its only natural that occasionally you get a nice benefit from playing Monster Crown while it's in development as well :)

Here's the actual changelog, I had to remove like, 12 items from this because they're all Content Pack 3 spoilers:

EA v1.479
----------------------
+Items now do not respawn after pickup
+Harveskin special event custom color now available for Halloween! (exclusive palette)

#Please note that we want to keep the primary EA build stable so new builds will be uploaded to the EA-BETA branch for one week before being moved to the main stream. Anyone can access this branch, just right-click Monster Crown in Steam, go to properties and select the EA-BETA branch to have the up to the minute, bleeding edge updates.

Speaking of which, while many of you are no doubt enjoying a chilly adventure in Pokemon Sword and Shield this weekend, next weekend you'll be able to enjoy a chilly adventure in Monster Crown as well, as the second third of the Island opens up!

A slew of monsters, two new provinces, three cities as well as new backstory, lore, music and a small fun new feature await. You're gonna love it :)
