Hello folks,

Another week another patch! This one has lots of great fixes and adjustments, big thanks to my good friend Kyle Toom who has been helping me accelerate the pace of development and bug squashing, it's all because of the Early Access support you've all shown that I can bring him aboard to help out.

#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.

Chinese translation made by Windyshine.

Fixed some typos and TWO (count them TWO) bugs:

In a couple maps if you hacked the androids they would turn non-sentient and still have destinations, which slowed the game way down. Also, if an AI had a text/book equipped and tried attacking something, it would keep bringing up the text non-stop. Can't believe nobody found that bug for 3 years, but thanks, theenglishman.

Oh, also, AI now switches to a viable weapon automatically unless otherwise instructed in the AI scripts. If this causes some unforeseen problems, please let me know.

Finally, check out Quadrajet's mod in the Workshop. Brigand will now be VR, bitches:

Hello everyone!
After a nice isolated summer, and all the complications that come with it, I am finally releasing this new content update! It has been hard to put together!


The Volcano Update:

If you have finished the Cliff Zone, you will be able to access the Volcano Zone. For this new set of levels, I wanted to vary more the challenges, using a bit more creativity in the way you use the flippers, and a bit more strategy when it comes to using your slow power.

5 New Levels, each of them has been crafted around previous and new game mechanics.







So you might wonder, how can the game be more strategic? Well, let me introduce you this new trap!



I called it "Power Killer", and it's self-explanatory! Touch it, and you'll be cursed for a small amount of time. While cursed, slowing down the ball will kill you and send you back to the latest checkpoint!
You'll be able to avoid these, but sometimes, you'll have to deal with the curse! Good luck!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Ball Customizations!



I was not happy with how the ball customization screen was working, I have redone it, added more customizations, better-looking materials and trails. I have removed the tutorial, now the information on how to get Golden/Rubis/Sapphire balls are displayed within the interface. Hope you like it better!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really hope you enjoy the update, I'll wait for feedback and improve these levels if needed. The next content update will be called "The Peak Update", which will introduce the last Zone of the game, it will be amazing!

But that's not all, I'll continue to publish content updates, I have been working on adding a Dark version of each level (I think I will call them "B-Roll", feel free to propose another name).
Here is a sneak peek at what it might look like:

A new music track has been added, made by Pete Rypstra, you can have a taste of this very nice tune here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cheDtiHoHQ4

This was supposed to be the Peak Zone music, but Pete is still working on the Volcano Zone track.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the second content update I do for the game, so it might have issues (collisions, difficulty etc...).
Please report any issues on the Discord Channel:




Many thanks for playing!

Michael.

Hey Sonatians,

This is the universe reset patch to prep for the upcoming healing revamp changes. The actual healing revamp changes will be in a few weeks.

The Battle Thatch, Battle Sphere, Massif III and Massif IV will be changing significantly in a few weeks, so take this under advisement when considering these ships as trade bots. Please refer to the Community Testing Event on test to review their stats further.

Base slots for galaxy assault have been changed to reduce the advantage of alt teams in war. When assaulting a galaxy, you now receive +1 BvB slot for every adjacent galaxy that you own. This bonus increases from +1 to +5 for each galaxy that you have owned continuously for the past 24 hours. Also, BvB Amplifiers now only grant their bonus (additional +5 slots) when the galaxy they’re located in has been owned continuously for the past 72 hours..

• Fixed the Perpetual Motion missions for Astral Injection skill training to properly complete if your skill level was 6, 8, or 9 from the previous skill training system.
  
• Random AI bases will no longer have skills to train.
  
• With the streamlining of progression via zones. Removed various skilling locations. (Updated wiki).
  
• Added Zen of Devices to the Zen Skill Reset Mission and clarified you need at least one of each skill.
  
• Added a new Zen of Devices Mission as well.

• Fixed Junkyard and a few other station expansions taking 0 workers. They now take one worker like the others.
  
• Added Ginmill energy to the station in Brigand’s Stronghold needed for the pickpocket drones in perpetual motion.

• Reduced the XP bonus from Invasion AI in subspace.
  
• Cybernetic Interceptors now drop better loot
  
• George Ohm spawns no longer give XP.

• Skins are now saved with universe reset.
  
• KD will now have subspace links to Perilous Space.
  
• Increased the respawn rate of Combo and Umbra
  
• Added a dementium base factory for sale in The Junkyard.
  
• Moved Space Rat Broodmother from Sol to Shadow and added a Space Cheese moon.
  
• Visual improvements to Blanco.
  
• Moved Building Academy Entrance to Lyceum and increased the instance gate size
  
• Fixed the wormholes in Bedrock Depths, part of the Vulcan zone, to properly lock the instance entrance.

• Fixed additional issues with bots unpacking crates.
  
• Fixed various typos in error messages.
  
• Changed BvB slot rules:
  
• You now get +5 BvB slots for each galaxy owned (at least 24hr) adjacent to the beseiged galaxy.
  
• BvB amps require the gal to be owned for 72 hours before granting their slots.
  
• Made it so that the “You’re moving too fast to dock” error rounds up your own speed in its output, to avoid issues like “your speed is 10 and your max docking speed is 10″.
  
• Fixed a bug which prevented doing Adv. Subskill reset when you have Wild Man or Bot Ph. D.
  
• Fix for “/endwar player playername” not working.
  
• Paid global xp boosts used on a bot now act as if they were used from their owner.
  
• Paid global boosts can only be used if the user is current or former subscriber.
  
• Combat bots “Guard Object” is now only valid in the current galaxy. If the guarded object jumps to another galaxy, the bot will reset to following after 5 minutes if the owner isn’t in the galaxy.
  
• Removed the ability to place TSL (Storage Tab) on the towing station in Sol or Arena Lobby.

It has been a while since the last announcement and you might be wondering what's going on.

While there's no ETA for the planned MMORPG features, we'd like to outline an important change to the combat system:
Zeal is now a tab targeted game with controls and combat similar to WoW.
