Dokimon News

Hey guys~ This update only contains some minor bug fixes for rare instance cases. I was able to find and fix these bugs rather quickly thanks to reports in my discord server as well as some kind people who made a forum post about their issues in the Dokimon: Quest Community Hub~

Thank you everyone as always for your support on this and please look forward to further improvements and *free~* content additions into the new year :D

I believe we will be continuously updating the game until late February (but we WILL continue to do upkeep and patches if necessary).

If you're enjoying Dokimon: Quest, please help us out with spreading the word and providing us feedback and suggestions. This helps us not only improve this game but also gives us the ability to do better in future titles, and spreading the word or leaving reviews helps give us a greater fighting chance at making more great titles in the future^^

Additionally, we have already incorporated countless community suggestions (several people in our discord can account for this), so please be assured that your voice will be heard. Your feedback very well may make it in via an update or perhaps in a sequel. If you feel like you have been ignored, or maybe I haven't followed up in a while, please bump your post or double message me, your message may have gotten buried, or perhaps I got busy and your message escaped me.


What's next?
We also have plans to improve the localization system in January and February and incorporate complete localizations to other languages, including Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.

For a recap on the other features we are working on amongst general improvements, optimizations, and other QoL adjustments, please see this list we shared in a previous update:

- Tenshou Tower: This is a place where battle lovers can play against the odds for big rewards
- *Steam Leaderboards: A feature that plays hand-in-hand with Tenshou Tower (more below)
- 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"

*Leaderboards will be a new system that will let you compete against other players online "highscores" in battles. There will be a range of different point systems, battle types, and difficulty settings, meaning there will be multiple leaderboards of different categories and you can play and compete in your favorite ones^^ This takes the Tenshou Tower to a far greater height than what was originally planned, but it's the least we can do for the community considering the enormous support we saw since the release just over 1 month ago.

What else? You tell me! Let me know what you would love to see, either in this game or in a game continuing this series :) Don't forget to leave a review if you haven't yet :D

Happy New Years! Cheers~ ♡

Hey guys! Thanks for your patience on these, lots of big new changes and improvements this time around :D

As for moves, well, there's really not much to say (or show, rather) but I have manually gone through and individually triple checked each move and it's attributes and fixed any errors. I made an entirely new system in my engine to help streamline this process and make it quicker and easier for myself to make and modify moves, so we shouldn't run into any more major issues or discrepancies with moves moving forward.


In other news, the worldmap and quest tracker rework is finally here :) I literally completely remade both of these from scratch, and they're (in my opinion) 10x better than what we had before. Check it out:



The new and improved worldmap lets you use your WASD (or arrow keys) to fly a cursor around the map, to which you'll get to read the names of towns and areas you're hovering over. You might've noticed that I also added some additional points of interest in the map to make it more accurate too^^

By default, you'll have your character locked onto a single location on the worldmap (be it a route, town, or point of interest) and the worldmap is now completely hardcoded with its locations, meaning it is now dead accurate unlike before.

Similarly to before, pressing space (or any "enter" key or input) will open your quest tracker tool, which has also been rebuilt from scratch:



The new quest tracker now gives you the title and a description of your current objective, as well as the title of all the objectives you've completed recently. Since I'm working with extremely limited time, this has been kept quite simple, and despite being significantly better than the previous quest tracker, I am considering it a placeholder system. Meaning, I will be revisiting it and improving it further in the near future.

Unfortunately I'm (still) struggling to find computer time during my holiday so updates have slowed profusely, however I will be back home and working at full speed again in less than 2 weeks :)

Lastly, I'm working on a huge "changelog" like I included in most of the previous updates, which is missing from this (and the previous) update, which I'll hopefully be able to include in the next one (which will have some fun new stuff, like outfits and accessories you can purchase and wear) :D

If you wanna know more about what's coming soon to Dokimon: Quest, be sure to check out the last update blog we posted about a week ago, that delved into some new features coming to you via free updates^^

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!

Cheers ♡

こんにちは～

昨日と今日、25時間以上頑張って、漢字からかなに変換するシステムを作ろうとしましたが、私の力では無理かもしれません。

ですが、良い漢字があり、ドット絵のフォントを見つけたので、今はそれを使っています。

下のスクリーンショットをご覧ください。









今日はずっと寝ていなくて非常に疲れているので、最近新しく書いたスクリプトはほとんど自動翻訳になってしまいました '';-;

今後、もう一度かなのシステムを作ってみたいと思っています。しかし、その前に、ちゃんとスクリプトを人手で書きたいです。現在、50％は自動翻訳だと思います。少しずつ100％人手で書くつもりですが、今のところ自動翻訳は仕方ないです。

日本語で遊びたい方、お待たせいたしました。

Hey guys! Great news, I pushed well over 10 updates over the past 2-3 days, but I didn't wanna do any announcements until I had more time for me (and some select people) to test it... All of the major things have been fixed, including countless minor things.

I will now be focusing all of my time working on some of the minor bugs that have been on my to do list while going through and fixing the Japanese localization system in all it's (un)greatness :)

Likely I'll be updating several more times tonight before I sleep (despite it already being past 3:30am in Japan and my eyes starting to feel the sting D:) but I think this version is pretty solid !!!!

See also the bottom for some extra goodies I decided to add into the game which will be coming this and next week :D

Thanks again everyone so much for the patience while I've done my best to tackle all these bugs and other issues all by myself, it's been a great journey chatting with everyone and see everyone's reactions to my game !!

if you find any bugs not mentioned in this list please let me know in the discord, cheers :)

ADDED - More items, NPCs, and Trainers to some routes / towns that were reported as being lacking in one area or another
ADDED - Masters Battle house to the final town (village) as a bonus, coming soon feature

CHANGE - Balanced some items and some monster / move stats
Change - Moved the "Master Rod" to a MUCH later area and made buying a rod replace your current rod (in case you wanna go back, or forward a rod (Yeahhhh I VASTLY underestimated how much money you guys would have at that point of the game lol)

Known issues :
- Evolving monsters overlap when evolving many times on the same playthrough
- Names are sometimes mixed up / incorrect in double battles (it's just the name (string) only, all of your EXP and etc is being distributed properly)
- Some moves still can't be chosen in the movepools
- There's still a rare case where enemy monsters will get an extra attack in on deaths (though not anything like it was before)
- When using certain items your Affinity point stats can get reduced below 0 (does not result in a crash)

*Notes : Currently only features not working that were planned in the original game are the quest log (it's broken and crap so I'm gonna remake it from scratch, similar to how I did with battle speed-ups) and the fast travel system, which will be available in Xelos City after the completion of some pre-requisites in Yor City.

**More notes : I'm currently working on adding in some additional features that I did not intend to include in the final game on release:
- Battle tower (Tenshou Tower)
- House shop (realtor)
- Dokimon Ranch (in Coralwood)
- Furniture for decorating your home
- Accessories (alt clothes, hats, bunny ears, etc)
- Some new towns (my map maker made something too big for me, I planned to cut them but have since decided to add them into the game with side quests and other stuff)
- Pickaxe
- New portal
