It’s hard to believe, but it’s already been two months since I announced the game (time flies!). During this time, I’ve been working hard on the game, and I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made and how the game has evolved. I’d like to share a few updates with you (keep in mind that these changes will only be available in the demo around February when I prepare the V2 demo for the Steam Next Fest event).
What’s new/changed:
First and foremost, I’ve revamped the dialogues. I wasn’t happy with the fact that our character couldn’t say a word, so I reworked the dialogues, and now we have full conversations. I’ve also improved the story, characters, and their behavior. It’s much less stiff now, and I experimented a bit with writing the characters and dialogues – I promise they’re much better! Also, the character animations are no longer wooden; they now react and have more poses.
Another major change is the computer interface. You now have access to the desktop with several apps. There’s a lot more, but I didn’t want to overdo it. I’ll also add that you can now interact with open windows or check important information around the park.
I’ve added new types of reports, more events, and several quality-of-life improvements. Unfortunately, I don’t want to spoil too much for now, but believe me, there’s a lot happening!
There are still a few more things I’d like to change, but I feel like I’m on the right track to finish the game by February/March.
As always, I’d like to thank everyone for playing, for the feedback, and for adding the game to your wishlist. It really helps keep me motivated to continue working on it (and believe me, it’s not always easy!).
Thank you all, and I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! See you soon (probably in January)!

In most Worms games there are Holy Hand Grenades where the Hallelujah Chorus plays. These grenades have been added to the inventory screen in BBB or you can press "4". When the explosions have victims it goes in slow motion though the explosions can also kill you. To improve the framerate the explosions can only kill the 3 closest lifeforms even if it is very crowded.
English ##########Content################ [Sneak]Smoke bombs are now part of the new sneak system. Instead of making you totally immune to enemy detection, they provide you with a bonus equal to +100 sneak level when you are standing in it. [Sneak]You can now gain sneak experience when you are standing in a smoke if enemies fail to detect you. (So, the smoke bombs are now helpful. You can use them to farm sneak experience.) [Sneak]Once an enemy fails an attempt of trying to detect you, they cannot try it again for a short period. (About a half second.) [Sneak]You now gain more sneak experience if an enemy fails to detect you to balance the reduced detection frequency. ##########System################# [Event Generator]Added a new delegate function that will be called when an event has been created. (Can be helpful for modding and maintaining a good code structure.) ##########Debug################## [Smoke Bomb]Fixed a bug that allows enemies to keep chasing you after they were confused by a smoke bomb. 简体中文 ##########Content################ 【潜行】烟雾弹现在是新的潜行系统的一部分。它们不再提供绝对的免疫敌人侦测的效果。取而代之的是，现在当你站在延误中的时候，当计算敌人的侦测成功率时，烟雾会提供一个大致等于+100潜行等级的奖励效果。 【潜行】现在当你站在烟雾中的时候，如果敌人没有能发现你，你可以获得潜行经验值。（所以，烟雾弹更有用了。你可以用它们刷潜行经验。） 【潜行】当敌人未能成功发现你之后，它们无法再在短时间内再度尝试发现你。（大约半秒钟。） 【潜行】当敌人未能成功发现你之后，你现在会获得更多的潜行经验值，用于平衡敌人被降低的侦测频率。 ##########System################# 【事件生成】加入了一个会在一个事件生成后广播的函数。（对于制作Mod有帮助，并且可以维持一个优雅的代码结构。） ##########Debug################## 【烟雾弹】修复了一个允许敌人在短暂的因为烟雾弹陷入困惑状态后依然能够追踪你的Bug。

Hi guys! I've been super hard at work on adding this new region to the DQ map and I believe we've finally ironed out enough to start spreading the word.
I'm also extremely excited to say that achievements have been fixed and confirmed working by several players. All achievements should fire upon loading into your save, however, there is 1 or 2 that you may need to do again to complete (however, thankfully these two achievements can be completely very quickly).
With the addition of this map, we can find a lot of new characters that we weren't able to discover in the Xelos region. Additionally, rare monsters have been made more accessible as a reward for making it to the new area~
You will find lots of fun surprises here, including over 20 "new" trainers, some new items, and countless new NPCs with flavorful text.
The new map also adds several new areas, including both routes and towns, and music. The area is accessible after the main story is completed (when your save file reads 98%) and you must collect 4 specific monsters to unlock the portal.
These monsters are special monsters that can only be found in pink grass and may need to be trained and leveled and evolved to meet requirements.
You can keep track of which monsters you have (or don't have) based on the crystal surrounding the portal. The gemstone inside the crystal's supporting pillars will be lit when the corresponding monster has been obtained. When all four gemstones are lit, the portal will be enterable.
I'm still working on adding some trainers and NPCs to some areas, as well as some other additional content (and various QoL tidbits) that I have planned for the game in general, but over all I'm quite proud of this update and thought it would be decent timing to make an announcement^^
It's been difficult to find the time to work on Dokimon: Quest since I left my main home on December 8th, but I've been doing what I can to squeeze in dev time here and there during my little vacay ;)
I'll be continuing to work when I can like I have been, and also returning home on January 8th where I will be returning to working full time.
Some things I currently have on my to-do list before I finish up with updating D:Q and move on to new projects:
- Tenshou Tower : This is a place where battle lovers can play against the odds for big rewards - Player Home: I will be adding a customizable home(s) / location(s) and items to fill them with - Character Outfits: I'm going to be adding several "outfits" that you can get to change your looks - Accessories: I want to add some cute accessories you can toggle on your characters, like hats or capes - Fast Travel: The worldmap / quest log is being completely reworked, after it's finished we'll add "flying" - ????
What else? Who knows~ maybe I'll end up adding in some more nice things! For now, this is everything on my horizon for THIS game. I will be working on other projects (new and old) starting in January when I expect all of these items to be completed, tested, and in the final game :)
That's a wrap! If you guys have any feedback or suggestions on other things we can include, let me know! Perhaps I'll add them in :) and if not... maybe they'll make it into the next game!
If you enjoyed my game, I would love it so much if you left a positive review :) Thank you always for supporting me and playing my games, you guys are the world to me!
