⭐V4 Announced!
Posted April 11, 2023 by Impy
⭐Version 4 of Monster Monsoon will be publicly available for download starting on May 12th.

-V4 Changelog-
New Content
- 26 new events.
- 2 new phone apps for date invitations and videos.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed visual bug, particle draw order now takes position into account, uses different shader.
- Fixed bug where tile draw order was not being done correctly.
- Fixed bug where the other protagonist's portrait could appear in the gallery.
- Fixed a bug where your selected client was reset after winning a map.
Balance Changes
- Wendy does more damage.
- Increased costs for many powerful items.
- Cursed Mirror range changed to 2-3.
- Various events moved around, generally made to happen earlier.
- Riza starts with a small amount of bond with the player.
Other Changes
- Big overhaul how text for events is grabbed. The game now reads it from a text file. (Will save a lot of time, and could allow translations in the future. I will do this in all of my games from now on.)
- Overhauled the way in which the event system works. (Tags stored in string lists instead of two dimensional arrays.)
- Added screen transitions. (Makes dating and training a lot less abrupt.)
- Condensed battle info a bit. (Enemies with too many special effects didn't fully fit.)
- Doubled bond point gain and event requirements. (Better distribution on the line.)
- Added code support for removing and adding new party members in battle.
- Lots of touchups for art and dialogue.
