I'm not sure! The game unfortunately does need to have some kind of end condition. It's possible climax blocks aren't the right answer, you're right it's sometimes frustrating when it feels like they show up too soon. A sandbox mode would be interesting, I agree it might be fun to just build a combo forever and set it off whenever you feel like. But it might also feel anticlimactic when you set off your huge 1,000-block combo and the game just asks you to continue playing.

Hmm well... maybe if you close your eyes and imagine it, it can happen 😀 Abra is glad she got to spend so much time with you, she hopes you had fun with her puzzles~

It would be really cool! Monster Mind was a huge project, I'll continue working on other big game projects like this but maybe nothing quite like Monster Mind

I'm sorry to hear that! Thanks for letting me know

The game hasn't received any content updates in over five years! Just some small stuff like typos and dialog tweaks.

Sorry about that! The web version seems to run really slowly and crash sometimes, but the downloadable windows version is a little better.

that would be cool!

the game is finished! there are no plans for future updates

yeah! the web versions of godot games don't run great, different browsers can help (i think chrome is fastest) but really it's just best to download it if you can

Wow that's so cool! I'm glad you're having fun with it. There is a lot there if you keep playing, including a cute ending~

i understand, i'm sorry!

Hey thanks for trying out my game! It runs a little slow in HTML5 but it does run -- so it's a nice option for people who don't want to keep anything on their hard drive.

I'm glad you're enjoying the puzzles, I think they're a lot of fun! It's unusual for computer generated puzzles to be so consistently rewarding and interesting to solve, even after what must be thousands of them it still feels like I'm sometimes surprised, confused or have a stroke of insight when playing Monster Mind. It's a really special kind of puzzle!

Thanks, I hope you have fun with the prototype! It's a different kind of puzzle game, meant for people who thought this game was too difficult or too punishing. I wanted to experiment with sort of the polar opposite

There are no future updates planned, but i have plans for new games!

Yeah, that all makes sense! I like the idea of "game without objectives" but it does feel nice when the game rewards you in some way for finishing

I also agree that it would be nice if the banter were more noticable in some way. I like the idea of passive background dialogue, but maybe it would need to be voiced to match what i imagine it feeling like while you play

Thanks for your kind feedback! I'll keep working on making fun games. I loved monster mind too 😀

thank you!! i currently don't have any updates planned, i'm sorry. but i'm working on some new puzzle games that i hope you'll like too~

they get so expensive!

oh thank you!

yeah it's okay!! there are a lot of monster mind fans on the discord and there has been a lot of fan art and role play~

Obrigado pelas palavras gentis

yeah you're right! that's a good idea -- maybe a number somewhere in the UI so the player can see.

wow that's funny! it's a sheer coincidence but stay tuned. i may have something for you in a year or two~

I am a huge fan of nikoli puzzles (and Grovyle is as well!) I own about five of their books and love their dedication not just to inventing new puzzles, but to making their puzzles clever and fun. There is such a thing as a "good sudoku" and a "bad sudoku!" not everyone understands this

> They are complicated but are almost always not annoyingly so

I've had a few that really got me stuck for awhile! But the secret sauce is that i wrote a computer program that can solve these puzzles, and the game only gives you the puzzles that aren't very annoying for the computer to solve.

> Three, is there any possible way I can sell my soul to Magnezone

I love that you're a big fan of Magnezone! I love each character in a different way, but I always knew some would be more popular than others. Most people insist Magnezone is more silly than hot but... she can be hot too!! There is nothing sexier than seeing her with her circuits cooked after a vigorous session.

I hope you figured out the secret with the electric gloves which prevent you from getting electrocuted! Magnezone feels bad when she destroys your glove, she doesn't do it on purpose

> also here I go completing the game for a second time oh boy!

hahaha wow that's nuts! if you're going for the second completion there's a slight different ending based on your answer to Abra's Question so you might play around with it. of course some people think there is only one right answer! but it's up to you 😀

ha ha maybe! anecdotally, i think it would just make people yell at the prostitues about how their puzzles are too hard and the rules make no sense 🤣

that makes sense! i think if players have a "cheat" button they'll just hit the cheat button over and over and they won't play the game. but, maybe i should take it easier on the players. thanks for the feedback.

oh thank you i'm glad you got to experience it! thanks so much for helping out with your feedback too~

thanks, cool ideas!

monster mind is open source!

haha, it just means you can't rank can only go up!! no pressure

i had that planned! i decided that since they're constantly having sex while you're doing the puzzle, having constant sex noises would be annoying. but i'd love to at least have dinosaur roars and splats during the big orgasm at the end if nothing else... or maybe clearing some blocks would play sex noises for a few seconds after

yes!!! i can finally start working on the grimer-only sequel to monster mind. i was putting this off until i was sure somebody wanted it. thank you for making your opinion known 😛

i don't have any updates planned, but other people in the discord are working on adding their own characters and stuff!

that was a unique game, in that it was basically released in a finished state! i have never really added anything to it. it came with a set of characters with were all connected meaningfully and it would be difficult to add more -- mostly because of the password system.

thank you for your kind words about my new game! i don't know what my next game will be, but I love monster mind and I'd love to somehow recapture the magic of that game some day.

good call -- i'm definitely on board with some kind of,  "build up a resource and use it to activate special moves" type of thing. i don't know what form it would take. i thought maybe it would be cool if activating a big group of 3s gave you one reward, and 5s gave you a different reward, or something like that. i'm not sure!

really good suggestions, thank you!
 

awww yayyy! the ending still makes me very happy. all of the pictures of your pokemon friends having a good time together. that's what life is all about! that's what pokemon is all about.  i hope you had a nice ending! i hope abra is happy 🌈

i feel like abra enjoys the act of solving the seven pegs more than i do!! but they are certainly a tough challenge, my brain can't handle them. but at least they give you a crazy amount of money! think about all the mystery boxes you can buy!!!

no it's the same! nothing changed i promise.

you don't need to do the 5 peg or higher puzzles! you can beat the game and do everything with just 4 pegs. and the ranking mode is also optional.

i agree, the harder puzzles and the ranking mode are stressful! when i play, i usually just play 3 and 4 peg puzzles and relax. sometimes i do the 5 peg puzzles but they can take me 5-10 minutes and sometimes i just want to relax!

ha ha, they are such a cute couple! i'm so happy for the both of them

yeah, makes sense! i appreciate the feedback. glad you enjoy monster mind :D
