Another week another build!

Just some general fixes:

EA v1.477
----------------------
+following Monster no longer disappears after certain cutscenes/interactions
+Situation where you could get stuck in the party screen fixed
+Now get money properly after Brutus fight
+Exp screen no longer moves backwards sometimes
+Net Egg disabled
+Titan Tectonic now reduces synergy appropriately
+NPC that could cause you to get stuck moved a bit to remove the issue
+If items you're using on your monsters are gone you get notified by "Fresh out!"
+Haunting moan can no longer heal the foe

You may have noticed that the Net Egg has been disabled. This is unfortunate, but several hackers have intentionally bypassed the bounds of the game and got their hands on late game and post game monsters, many with incomplete data and have uploaded them to the Net Egg servers. Don't worry, this feature will be back for full release but it's too easy to get spoilers or faulty monsters with so many people bypassing the intended limits of the current content.

Content Pack #3 is also going really well and it'll even have a little more content than previously anticipated. I know we haven't given you anything concrete to chew on yet for Content Pack #3 but I think once we get a few things out of the way this coming week we can share some more hard details :)

Have a great weekend (and great holiday weekend if you're a canadian like me! It's thanksgiving here)

#Please note that we want to keep the primary EA build stable so new builds will be uploaded to the EA-BETA branch for one week before being moved to the main stream. Anyone can access this branch, just right-click Monster Crown in Steam, go to properties and select the EA-BETA branch to have the up to the minute, bleeding edge updates.

Hi everyone!

Continuing the weekly challenges for Content Update #2 with another one! But first, let's pick last week's winner. Now, these might not be the most effective presets, but at least, they made me spit out my coffee as I was going through these. Check out Zurupari#0515's "Forbidden Formula to breed Ogres"!



Congratulations! Check your Discord DMs to claim your prize ;). Now onto this week's challenge!
