Hello Monster fans, Content Pack 8 is here!
The very first thing I want to do is to thank each of you for the huge show of support I received last week. Many of you know I lost my grandmother last week and the past week has been really something - spending time with family of course and everything that comes with the loss of a loved family member. The countless messages of support I received on here is something else. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding.
With that being said, you might be wondering what's in store for Content Pack #8? Well, a lot of great stuff, first and foremost, the next expansion to the main storyline.
Head to Appenton Academy to get started on what comes next! Be prepared because you're headed deep into the underbelly of the city...
Additionally, a while back I showcased some additional scouting powers, namely, the ability for your monsters to shoot a swirling fireball to take down enemy monsters on the overworld.
This ability is super powerful and can be used to mow through wild encounters and quickly level up your team. The previous scouting ability favored monsters with a high physical attack power, but this one is geared for magical attackers, so be sure to pick the scouting option that suits your party leader best.
As well, the monster riding option has been added to the monster power menu making it easier to ride your monsters, however, you still must have your monster "sit" first, which is something I'm working on making automatic in the future as it's a bit cumbersome as-is.
Once you've obtained all three powers a small traveling monster show can be found in Crossroads province. It has a chance of spawning each in-game morning and can appear on various roads surrounding crossroad town - if you see a crowd, that's the spot!
If you figure out how to win a huge payout, you might find yourself with an additional monster treasure, a monster with my personal favorite egg design :)
For those of you just tuning in since last content pack I've also added several new powerful healing items - let's be honest, you've outgrown Aloe Leaves haven't you? - that can be purchased from any store beyond Mill Town and a very special Ultra Rare Berry, which makes levelling up newly hatched monsters a breeze. If you've got the cash a newly hatched monster can be caught up to the rest of your team in less than a minute.
That's it for today tamers, there are some additional bug fixes as well here and there, some cutscene timing modifications to make things a bit smoother, etc.
Hope you have a great weekend.
