Public Release: Alpha v1.04.3 (Patreon)

Judge Heath here,  

This month folks we've made some serious progress, and uncovered some underlying issues to fix in the next month forward. The good news is that we now have reproduction working and the framework for breeding, traits being passed on, and other goodies like that. The bad news is that we're gonna have to take another month to get that in as well as a system to organize monsters better. We're still hoping to start in on dungeons in May and if we're unable to, June.

So! Let's talk about the breeding and milking systems!

You are able to select yourself and a monster of your choice or have two monsters together to breed with. After 3 minutes of monster breeding (in the case of monster x monster animations) the female monster will be unavailable for other activity and replaced by a sleeping sprite. 3 more minutes later and she'll lay an egg. Grab the egg from her by clicking on her or hitting enter while next to her. You can then take the egg and place it in the Incubator. 3 minutes in the Incubator and it'll grow and hatch with the new monster in the barn, ready to go!  

Milking is similar but there is a slight glitch in the system. With milking, a monster will vanish entirely rather than be shown sleeping. The monster will return after 2-3 minutes following a milking, ready to breed or be milked again! This glitch revealed that we need to push forward how we organize monsters. The benefits of milking will produce 2 essence chambers of the type of the monster you milked. Breeding produces 1 essence chamber of both types of monsters. These essence chambers can be sold to Yonten in the General Store as they don't have much function currently.  

We've also nailed some bugs involving Jubelle's dialogue and a few others in the combat system, so please, anything you can tell us about those will be a great help.  

Finally, on the note of animations. Just arriving in the barn will unlock all animations in the album. We've overhauled the album as well. Chimera is all but done at this point, and we'll be patching his animations into the album shortly, probably on Monday night. The Album will receive a future update next month to include sprite sex animations.

As always, thank you for your support and patronage!
