Dokimon: Quest with its steepest sale yet ー Sub 48 hours to back Yami Kids

[p]Hi guys! Just wanted to touch in very quickly and note that Dokimon: Quest is currently 75% off, which is it's steepest sale yet!

Additionally, we have decreased the price recently (in several currencies), but the USD price has dropped from $19.99 to just $17.99.

This brings the current price down to just $4.49, which is a steal at less than $5. Tell your friends![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]If you haven't seen it yet, we also updated the game a couple of times recently, adding and enhancing some features. Please check out the community hub to read more about that![/p][p][/p][p]What's next for Dokimon?[/p][p]At current, we are working on our next game, Yami Kids, which is built on the Dokimon engine. Additionally, we have already started playing around with some new art, characters, and mechanics for a Dokimon sequel, as well as some other really neat stuff that we can't share about yet. [/p][p][/p][p]I hope you look forward to future Dokimon news, and I want to thank everyone that's supported and played and loved my game I made! ♡[/p][p][/p][p]Yami Kids[/p][p]If you have any interest in it, Yami Kids is our next project, which is currently live on Kickstarter with less than 48 hours remaining to back it.[/p][p][/p][p]Did you know? Dokimon: Quest was a Kickstarter project too, that launched about 3 years ago! In fact, 7 out of the 9 playable characters were designed by gamers just like you^^ Additionally, around 10 monsters were also designed by players, can you guess which ones?~

If you're interested in checking out our next game, I'll leave a link below. But if not, that's ok too.

As always, we're open to your feedback, and if you run into any issues with Dokimon, please feel free to make a community hub post, or let us know in our SNS channels.

Discord: https://discord.com/invite/4YUaYNvVHD

We're working on our new game, as well as slowly branching out ideas for new Dokimon games, so this may (or may not) be the last update for a little while. Until then, see you Discord, X, and so on!

Cheers,

Battle Speed Toggle + PC Info Bug Patch

[p]Hi guys. Small update today fixing a bug in the recently added "PC Info" feature, that lets you view monster info right from your PC. There was an issue when trying to search and empty spot that has been fixed.[/p][p][/p][p]Battle Speedup Toggle ON/OFF[/p][p]
We're also happy to announce that we've added a requested feature, battle speed toggle. When enabling this in options, it replaces the "hold to speed" feature when battling.
[/p][p]Instead, you only have to press the action key once, and the battle will be sped up until it's time to choose your next move. Of course, you can press it again to return to normal speed at any time.

To use this new feature, simply toggle it on (as seen in screenshot above) and try it out!

That's all for today guys :D I guess as a final note, I'd love to bring up my current working projects. Currently, I'm working on a game called "Yami Kids" with my friend Tosh, as well as a Steam version for "MonTamer Maker", aka MonMae!


Yami Kids
This is a game similar to Dokimon: Quest, on the same engine, but with a new spin :D I am directly involved with the entire development, so please check it out if you enjoyed Dokimon!

The game currently has an active Kickstarter campaign and just recently hit $10k!

[/p][p]MonTamer Maker
I'll also put a link to MonMae in case you're interested :D This is the engine that Dokimon was made in, and in the Steam version you will be able to make and upload games to play![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]
Cheers!

Yami Kids - A New Game Announcement

[p]Heyo! Yano here. I'm here to announce Yami Kids, the next game after Dokimon: Quest to be released by me on the MonMae engine![/p][p][/p][p]I'm super excited for Yami Kids, so I could talk about it all day... But instead, I'll let do the Steam page do the talking^^
[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]If you enjoyed Dokimon, and wanna see a new game made on the same engine, please consider Wishlisting it![/p][p][/p][p]I'm also very happy to announce that I have help this time, and won't be making Yami Kids completely alone!

Please support it![/p][p][/p][p]- Yano ♡[/p]

Addressing Recent Complaints: Battle Speedup, in-PC Info, Exp Balance, Bug Fixes

[p]Hey guys~ First update in a little while :) Have you been enjoying you Dokimon experience?

Aside from some small bug fixes, here's what this update brings:
- Faster speed-up in battles. You should see a noticeable difference
- Nearly doubled EXP from Yuujyou Orbs (Now, 1st orb gives 40%, up to 70% with all 4)
- Additional Info is now available right from your PC, so you can view monsters stats, moves, etc
- Slight changes/updates to story for clarity[/p][p]

Battle Speed-up Increase
We've increased the speed-up in battles by more than 30%, so you should see a noticeable difference when holding down your action key in-battles.[/p][p][/p][p]Experience Orbs[/p][p]We've gotten a lot of feedback about how the Yuujyou Orbs feel too weak. Therefore, we've increased them so that the very first orb gives you 40% experience to your party, up from about 25%. After collecting all 4 Yuujyou Orbs, which you can often find where there are many Xers, you can increase this to a max of 70%, up from about 50%. [/p][p][/p][p]in-PC Monster Info[/p][p]Additionally, along with the "monster info" screen functionality being added to the PC, we improved the PC UI a bit to include monster portraits, I think it's a nice touch! Unfortunately not 100% of the monster info functions are available in the PC (i.e. nicknames, form changes), but you can still edit and view all of your monsters stats without having to put them in your party first.[/p][p][/p][p]Story Clarification[/p][p]Lastly, some changes and additions to the story have been added. We've added some new NPCs with helpful tips and text, and changed some of the text to be less vague, and more straight-forward hints, so that the majority of players can have a smoother experience and play less guessing games.[/p][p][/p][p]All of these changes were to made directly to address things we've noticed people having a negative experience with, to hopefully try and ease their pain a bit (and to give new players a better time).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Dokimon Community[/p][p]As always, if you have suggestions, please feel free to leave them on this post, or in our discord^^ https://discord.com/invite/4YUaYNvVHD[/p][p][/p][p]Please leave a review![/p][p]If you've been enjoying your Dokimon experience, please leave a review from the games store page! ♡ [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That's all for now, but stay tuned for additional updates, announcements, and whatnot. Cheers![/p]
