Patch Notes [0.0.2]


New Features

Quirks

Each animon has a unique ability now that can have different effects. You can read the description on their details page (Party -> Select an animon -> Details). Following quirks were added:

  • Defensive: Whenever this animon gains shields, it gains 1 more.
  • Fidgety: Whenever this animon gets swapped out, it gains 1 damage bonus.
  • Fire Eater: Absorbs fire damage and heals instead.
  • Hydrophobia: When hit with a water technique, it lowers the attacker's damage bonus by 1
  • Instant Shield: When taking damage, immediatley gain 2 shield (can't go over max shields).
  • Lucky: Gain an additional reroll while this animon is summoned.
  • Scorching Body: Whenever this animon is attacked, the attacker suffers 1 damage.
  • Water Soul: When hit with a water technique, increase water damage by 1


New Map Node: Arcade

Visit the arcade to enhance one of your animons, choose one of the following effects

  • Increase max shield by 1
  • increase max HP by 5
  • gain 50 exp


Action History

At the top of the battle screen, you can now see a history of things that happened last turn. This way, you can keep track of where that additional damage came from if you missed it (e.g. burning damage). Not perfect yet, but a start




Status Conditions

Added status conditions that can be applied via techniques. These generate stacks of their condition on the target and those stacks count down after they triggered (more like in Wildfrost than in Pokémon games). Currently implemented are basic DOTs for each element:

  • Burning
  • Drowning
  • Poisoned



New Content

Second Region

After defeating the first boss, Malyx, you can now enter region 2 which has a higher level and new animons (see below). Defeating the second boss (currently Malyx again), the game will crash because there is no region 3. I'll fix that for next time... oops!
