v8.31b - January 20th, 2026[/p][p]-Bug Fix: It was possible to break tiny volt polyps as they spawned by using a panic on the opposite side of the screen[/p][p]-Bug Fix: Accidentally made Dendrohai always skip the treasure rewards for searching minigames[/p]

[h2]New Event and Monster[/h2][p]It's been a while since I've been able to add both a new event and a new monster battle in the same update. The new monster is one more for the True Panic event. This will fill that pretty common event with a lot more variety.[/p][p]I've also finally added Shanx's event! The new minigame itself is pretty ambitious in a similar way to the one from Kiwi's event. Maybe it goes on for a little too long as well, but I know some of you will love it! There's still a little bit of writing I need to do for the event, but I'll patch it in within the next few days. Now that all the monster events are done, I can finally put a huge checkmark in the grand "to do" list. The end is in sight![/p][h2]Content Added[/h2]

[h2]New Monsters[/h2][p]Surprise update! It's a Boxing Day miracle! So what's in the box? It's 2 new, completely unplanned, special monsters![/p][p]The first is actually now the easiest battle in the whole game. This monster fills the singular Level 1 slot for special monsters, but there is another purpose for including her. Normally when I want to test the power of certain gifts, I would set Blot to secret dev "sandbag" mode, so that she won't do any attacks or change phases. There are a few players that wanted something like this to be accessible in-game, so I've converted my "sandbag" into this new battle! She will usually be capped at Level 1, but In Freeplay her level can be set all the way up to 999, and she won't attack you at all if you raise her level anywhere above 1. Perfect for all you build crafters out there.[/p][p]The other new battle is finally a 3rd option for the True Panic event. But this time it's one of the new Avoidant battles. I want to put this danger bubble mechanic into as many places as I can, but If I add any more common monsters, I'd potentially have to add all new events, personalities, character art, and rebalance The Towers mode again. Good thing I don't have to worry about ANY of that with this new monster. This is also why I recently changed a few battles that already existed into avoidant battles. I specifically choose ones that didn't have anything particularly special going on in them already.[/p][h2]Content Added[/h2]
