This update introduces the final type of event, Shiny Battles! These are basically a rematch with a monster within the same run, but with a twist. I mean, they'll already love you by then, so the battle has to be different right? I won't spoil what makes them so interesting here.

Early Access updated game version to v7.8

• 2 new events to find (Total: 27)
  
• 2 new monsters? (Total: 86)
  
• 7 new dreams to fulfill (Total: 583)
  
• 1 new dreamscape (Total: 36)

• Shy Momo: score from each golden blooms is reduced even further if you break more than 3 petals on it
  
• Added special heart icons to mark event and finale stages on the progress map of story, altered story, and endless
  
• If the progress map gets too long to fit on the screen it will shrink to a smaller size

• None, but I probably fixed some typos as usual

Now that the internal structure for all the event types are done, let's see how fast I can finish them!

I want to reveal how many monsters with events are left. I won't say what type of event these will all have, but this is more of a way to show how much I have left to do with v7.x

• Knot Knott
  
• Rendy
  
• Snowball
  
• Roundsaw
  
• Photoxai
  
• Hematoren
  
• Chemory
  
• Hadesoh
  
• Astrayo
  
• Prisma
  
• Syncron
  
• Vitrea
  
• Veyeral Rain
  
• (Plus 3 more that I don't want to reveal yet)

I will say that 6 of the above will be Shiny Battles!

Add in the 6 remaining common bosses

• Shanx
  
• Alter Shanx
  
• Guardian Soul
  
• Chionotoh
  
• Ventra
  
• Storm Veyeral

And we'll have the unique battle counter up to 98.
That is dangerously close to 100 wouldn't you say?

This update introduces a new event that is exclusive to Altered Story mode. Once you get to a certain point in a run, you can sacrifice you panics and gifts to add up to 3 extra battles to the run. This one is for all the high score chasers looking for a challenge out there!

Because of this new event, I have increased the score goals for the score medals in Altered Story mode.

I hope to finish at least one new monster battle and a few more monster events.

ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː

The main addition this week is 4 new monster events! I hope the runs and characters are starting to feel more alive with all these random events!

About half of the trading and free gift events are done now. I have also finished the art for nearly all the characters that will talk! The most time consuming part of making these is now the writing.

I didn't get to finish the Altered Story exclusive event this week, but I'm pretty sure I can finish it before the next update in 2 weeks.

• Lila will now always want to eat 4 mood points worth of tetrids

• On certain backgrounds, bullets might not switch to alternate contrasting sprites if certain other dreamscapes were still locked

ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː

10 new gifts for you!

This week's update is a little smaller as I work on finishing up many other things coming up.

My main goal for the next update on the 17th is to have the big Altered Story exclusive event finished. This one will allow you to extend the run by up to 3 extra battles, but you will have to make some sacrifices to do this. This is intended to be the ultimate high score challenge for the mode.

Early Access updated game version to v7.5

• 7 new power gifts (Total: 205)
  
• 3 new quick gifts (Total: 76)
  
• Events have been added to the collection menu with more details on how to encounter them

• Any monster trading and free gift events that have not been encountered yet are more likely to appear over others
  
• Rebalance of the rate of finding tetrid bonus gifts
  
• A monster is now extremely unlikely to offer healing bonus gifts that total more than a full heal
  
• The Quicklove gifts now also increase bullet size for a battle
  
• Optimized all glyph bullet ring attacks to reduce any lag they might cause

• Roundsaw's main body saw would still flash if damage flash was turned off

ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː

Five new Monster Events to unlock!

Calorie, Monovai, and Frozen Veyeral all want to trade gifts with you! Each of them prefers gifts of a specific element. If you have more of that gift type, then they are more likely to trade with you.

Ombroah and Burning Veyeral can appear to give you free gifts! These events will replace the "No One's Gift" event if either of these monsters are loved before it. If multiple of these monsters are loved, then it will choose one randomly.

There will be at least 1 event of both types per monster family!

The intention with all of these events is to have 1 or 2 different random monsters interacting with you on every run.

Early Access updated game version to v7.3

• 5 new events
  
• 7 new dreams to fulfill (Total: 565)
  
• Added dialog to all monster events when playing as Twins and Devil

• Changed the memory for the "Shade Pendant" gift to better match Monovai's personality

• Bug Fix: Roundsaw's saw blades would still flash if damage flash was turned off

ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː

v7.3a - May 9th, 2022
-All quick gifts that override attack elements will now buff attacks that are already that element
-The low health threshold for Anxiety and the warning SFX will now be increased to 25% of max hp if that value is higher than 7.5 hp
-Anchor now increases heart rate and shot speed
-Scrambla Maw's starting rate of fire is reduced from 3 to 1.5, but has the same cap
-Cross Twin can be activated with a panic attack or if a hit is blocked by any effect
-Twin Heart's starting panics are reduced from 3 to 2 in non-quickplay modes
-Lila will now drop some extra motes every time she flys away (her medal score goals remain the same)
-Changed the sprite of some bouncy zap attacks to help distinguish which ones are breakable
-Bug Fix: Veyeral Quartet's bouncy zap attack did not flash when hit, or have a health bar with the effect of Fear Sense
-Bug Fix: Lila was using Scrambla's cover mist if the "cover nudity" option was on

It's time for another new boss battle!

Another mini-boss rush in a boss rush. As the name suggests, this battle has you fighting 4 veyerals of different elements in a row!

Lila and Vibrant Veyeral are the first 2 monsters with unlockable trading events! Love any form of them during a run and they may show up later wanting to trade gifts. They each offer and accept different types of gifts, but only one trade event can appear per run. Having more of a monster's preferred gifts will make them more likely to appear.

Several more of these events will be added in the next few updates.

Early Access updated game version to v7.3

• 1 new monster battle! (Total: 84)
  
• 4 new dreams to fulfill (Total: 558)
  
• 2 new events to discover
  
• 2 new songs for events

• All gifts in the Paint Dye quick gift set will now also heal 25% hp on use
  
• Reduced the time it takes to fly away after a monster explodes
  
• Slightly increased Default's base fear

• Resuming a suspended run of story mode would cause the run to default to The Void's path without giving you the "choose her path" event

Only 6 common bosses left!

• Shanx (Guardian)
  
• Alter Shanx (Guardian)
  
• Guardian Soul (Guardian)
  
• Chionotoh (Glyph)
  
• Ventra (Zaramech)

Guardians are a little more complex to make than most monsters in the other groups, but I'm quickly running out of procrastination fodder.

ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː ːradiantheartː

Hello it's me, Angel!
This time, I have a new monster for you!

This boss has a low to medium level range of 1-7, but more importantly, she is the last monster who will ever have a level 1 and level 2 battle! It feels so good to start checking off entire categories like this.


Early Access updated game version to v7.2

• 1 new monster to love! (Total: 83)
  
• 2 new dreams to fulfill (Total: 554)

• The petals on most Glass Flora monsters will now show cracks as you damage them

• Quickplay rank requirements will now scale at a lower rate with each new battle added
  
• Veyeral Rain's main body can't hurt you for a moment after she appears

• If the garden blessing would fill beyond 200%, you were unable to pay for a garden gift
  
• The completion stamp for earning all story medals was missing (complete a single battle in story mode to update this)

This list is getting so short now
Only 7 to go!

This will include all of the remaining 7 common bosses and all remaining events
