NOVEMBER UPDATE 1
Added 2024-11-03 04:00:30 +0000 UTCA VERY SHINY UPDATE
From the beginning I said I wasn’t interested in making monsters have rare ‘shiny’ recolors, since recoloring shit is super easy and tacky. Then the feature got requested 50ish times, and I realized I could turn the whole process into a voting reward, and I super enjoyed seeing the recolored monsters bang, and I accepted that giving people what they want (in this case) is the key to success. So now we have SHINY EGGOMON.

But the way SHINY will work in Eggomon is different from [Monster Catcher Game]. In Eggomon there is roughly a 5% chance a monster will be shiny when it is instantiated and a 1% chance that the monster will be SUPER SHINY. Monsters with a SHINY color also have a SUPER SHINY color, so every monster (with shiny) will get TWO NEW RECOLORS, WOW. Twice as cool as [Monster Catcher Game]!
10 monsters now have shiny AND super shiny forms, and rather than spoil the gallery I will leave it to you to discover which monsters have received this recoloring treatment. Going forward you will also determine the shiny recolors in shiny votes, one of which is occurring right now!

ADDED: GOOGALA, This slimy fat blob slides into the meadow tier 1 encounter!

ADDED: ALL SCOUT PORTRAITS. All the scouts have their own super special portrait, and even have some unique dialogue exclusive to them. Nothing too fancy for now though, but the personality of the scouts is starting to shine through.
POLISHED: The first quest now concludes with you getting a sweet injection of EXP.
POLISHED: Added a Scouts Remaining counter to the loss screen
Fixed?: Eggs should no longer spam messages when hatching simultaneously?
Fixed?: FPS shouldn’t COMPLETELY bleedout, and bleedout should be significantly slowed. This is an ongoing problem as all UI elements (especially text boxes) need an overpass so they are not updating when they are unseen. This is something Godot does not handle well or explain up front, but its a consistent problem for people making RPG’s (which are very menu heavy).
Groundwork~ You may see several new items in the inventory that you cannot find yet, as well as some items moved for reorganization purposes.
If you are a free member then know that paid members are voting on the appearance of ROXY, the next scout, you chose to show up!


The monthly monster vote is also deciding which of these two will be one of Roxy's starter monsters!
Even WITH all this shit added, I have withheld even more assets because... The ANNIVERSARY is coming! On the 20th! And with it, a proper zone based update along with items, and a new monster, and a new overworld monster that will properly patrol... So stay tuned. Also the Roadmap for 2025 is coming, AAAAH!
WILL I EVER FINISH ANIMATING THIS FUCKING TURTLE? Stay tuned to find out.

Hey dev! Kudos on the amazing work! Been following your work for a while now, and am impressed at your consistency and dedication to this passion project, many others would have given up ages ago. Thanks for continuing this amazing work. On a separate note, I think you had mentioned making your assets freely available to others some time down the line? I was wanting to make a spin-off of your game with a similar yet slightly different play-style, albeit using the same assets. Any idea on when that would be the case? Will you make them available on this upcoming anniversary? Apologies if I misunderstood what you said before and made you feel uncomfortable by asking you to share your art/assets that you put so much time and effort to make, be that for others to make different games with, or any other purpose really.

2024-11-27 11:05:33 +0000 UTCI've discovered seven of the shinies so far (And 2 super shinies), but I'm not sure how to ask which ones I'm missing without spoiling anything. Also I must say I enjoy the shinies I have seen so far!
