Devtober 2021 Summary and Future Plans

Hi, it's me Angel Polanco, like the one from the credit screen! Another successful year of devtober! One update for all umm... 32 days of October! And they were all on time this year despite my internet being down for almost a whole day at one point.

New Stuff

  • 6 new monsters to love! (Total: 81)
  • 15 new Power Gifts (Total: 198)
  • 3 new Bonus Gifts (Total: 60)
  • 1 new Quick Gift (Total: 56)
  • 7 new Dreamscapes (Total: 29)
  • 17 new dreams to fulfill (Total: 475)
  • 2 new types of gift challenges


Other Changes

  • Rebalanced the effects of several gifts (Especially Auras and a few 3 star gifts)
  • Shuffled around a bunch of rewards from dreams
  • A bunch of other bug fixes and small tweaks


Future Plans


The monster goal has been set at 80 for a while and we just passed it, so now what's left?

Five of the Six monsters added during devtober were not planned to exist at all. They were each created within 2 or 3 days thanks to the mindset that this kind of challenge puts me in. They were all essentially alters that reused a lot of code from other battles. Voladrome is the only exception as she has been planned for years now. I chose to make her for devtober because she would be the fastest remaining guardian to make, and they've had the fewest battles for a long time.

With the addition of these new devtober battles, there will now be 13 "common" monsters for every category, except Veyerals and Specials. Veyerals will only have 12, but they will also have the most Final Battles.

I posted the names of the remaining 9 monsters in the discord just before devtober, but the spirit of devtober took over my body and added 6 more while I wasn't looking!

With Voladrome done and Alter Shanx now added to the list, these are the 9 remaining common monsters:
  • Shanx (Guardian)
  • Alter Shanx (Guardian)
  • Guardian Soul (Guardian)
  • Dendrohai (Glyph)
  • Chionotoh (Glyph)
  • Ventra (Zaramech)
  • Shy Momo (Glass Flora)
  • Veyeral Quartet (Veyeral)
  • Storm Veyeral (Veyeral)
  • There is also a top secret amount of Final Battles left


Okay, so you all know me by now. You know I can't keep my hands off the dang update button! So this is what I'm going to do. I'll keep on working on the secret story stuff, but every once in a while, I'll make a few of these remaining common monsters and release them as an update. Once all 9 of these are out, you will know that I am finally, for really real, close to finishing this game!

Other Work

Another thing to note is that I also work with team Moonana on some of their games. I worked on "Virgo Vs The Zodiac" and I'm working on their new game, "Keylocker." It just had a very successful Kickstarter and a we've also released a demo on steam! Please check those out as well!

sometimes, I have to take days or weeks off from Void Rains to help them out instead. This has and will continue to affect the release of this game, but it also keeps me from burning out on a single project for years.

Discord

I'm always talking about future plans and such in the Veyeral Games discord. So many of the quality of life changes have come from the lovely people in this server. They even convinced me to make Split Veyeral hold the combo, so I think they deserve at least some of the blame for v1.0 taking years to finish. Join us and throw me all your ideas so that I never actually finish this game!

Thank you so much for showing these monsters love!
It means the world to me!
