- Not enough PC slots and you can't release monsters
- Japanese script is defaulting to English in some areas
- Issue with assigning some moves in party menu at lower levels
- Issue with going through item categories on controller
- Having a unique monster in your team can trigger that unique entry screen effect for non-uniques in your team

Notes:
- Form swapping is still disabled (the feature that lets you choose the form / evo of your monster without affecting stats or movepool) but will be coming back soon

Major issues fixed :
FIXED - issue with "my_affinity" not being set and resulting in a crash

- Battle speed-up not working on some screens / monitors (working on a fix)
- Achievements not firing on Steam

Notes:
- Hey! Just wanted to say don't worry about Steam achievements, they are tracking in-game just not firing on Steam yet.. Once they're fixed, you should get them all at once upon loading up your save :)

As for other things, I'll be working on this game every day for a while, and hoping to have everything, including a completely fixed and working Japanese script, by Friday! Hope we can make it :) Thanks for the support!

I'll be going through Steam forum posts tomorrow, so far just been going through bug reports in the discord^^ Looking forward to it!

CHANGE - Set smooth camera to default setting
CHANGE - Removed German and Portugese as supported languages (including UI only) until further notice

- Some trainers in Mega City are missing dialogue and only draw "..."
