The Monster Breeder News

Hi All,

I am working on the new Mammal class, but much work remains to be done before I can show it. Meanwhile, this is a short video about the species of the Reptile class for the Full Release game.

Hi,

I would like to show the first batch of human character models for the full release. These characters will appear in the quests as enemies. All shields and weapons have new textures, and there will be a new weapon class: polearms.

Spears and tridents will have the highest weapon reach among all melee weapons. This will allow the attacker to inflict damage without risking counter-attack if the defender's weapon is too short.

Hi Folks,

I worked on the new assets for the Full Release in the last couple of months. The graphical overhaul of this game is a difficult task for me, and I'm making slower progress than expected. But finally, the new reptile models and textures are complete! This new model allows for much greater variety in appearance. The video below aims to demonstrate the diversity of species of the Reptile Class and represents the new visuals of the Full Release game.

Hi,

This small update adds tagging system, slave management, and bug fixes. I know it is not much, but I spent the majority of my time on creating better graphical assets for the full release.

New features:

A new "Slave workers" button was added to the Base management window. Players can kill slave workers to get human blood and meat.

The price of slave workers varies depending on their age.

Training sliders now show the annual gain due to training.

A tagging system was added for better monster management. There are 8 tags available:

• For crossbreeding
  
• Favorite
  
• Veteran
  
• For organ removal
  
• Available for sale
  
• Expendable
  
• Non-lethal combat only
  
• For organ implantation
  

Bugs fixed:

• Quest names are missing from the new messages button when the "Better readable font" option is on.
  
• False tooltip for the alchemist's skill at the character generation window
  
• The "Copy treatment" and "Cancel treatment" buttons don't update the upkeep cost
  
• Animation stuck if multiple monsters attack with the "Pack Attack" ability
  
• The lifespan of offspring was maximized to 25
  
• The upkeep cost is not updated when the creatures get treatment and get removed from Hatchling's Cabin.
  

Hi Folks,

This update focuses on balancing enemy strength for tournaments and making multiple game mechanics optional.


[h3]Changes:[/h3]
The enemy team generation method was rebalanced for tournaments.

The "Extra Risk & Reward" button was replaced with a slider at the Tournament window. The player can increase or decrease the strength of the enemy team, and the magnitude of the prize for winning.

Ebonwood Bark is a new food supplement to increase the damage capacity of juvenile creatures.

The following game mechanics are optional and can be selected under "Custom difficulty" settings:

• Harmful traits and inbreeding
  
• Crippling mechanism
  
• Main character aging
  
• Runestone and magic scroll usage costs
  

The price of slave warriors varies between 900 and 5000 depending on their age.

The combat speed has been increased a bit.

Hotkey for the "Next character" button: "]" or "."
Hotkey for the "Previous character" button "[" or ","

A pop-up tooltip was added to the Arena badge icons on the statistic cards.


[h3]Bug fixes:[/h3]

• The "Sell Monster" button is falsely inactive
  
• Intro volume is not affected by the Options setup
  
• Running animation may persist after creatures die in combat
  
• Bleeding info is indicated incorrectly in the Character Panel during combat
  
• Attack of opportunity does not trigger Bleeding if the monster has Hemophilia
  
• Dead human characters do not get removed after manual combat
  
• The Catacomb fight counted as done after canceling it
  
• Monster's total upkeep costs do not include prices of potions, food supplements, magic treatments, and implanted organs.
