Hi all! I'm here with some more updates that incorporate recent feedback :) Let's get right into it!
Movepools rework Dokimon's movepools have been completely rebuilt from the ground up, giving more moves to each monster, as well as a new class system and attacker type that will help differentiate Dokimon significantly more than before. Monsters are grouped into one of the three categories in each system:
Physical, Magical, Hybrid: Determines what type of damaging moves Dokimon get
Attacker, General, Enchanter: Determines what kind of moves Dokimon get
Monotype vs. Duotype: Monotype monsters get more moves of that type + stronger STAB
Signature Moves To provide further individualism to each Dokimon, key monsters has been provided 1-3 'signature moves' that are key to that Dokimon's character, traits, or attacking style.
These two big changes together mean no two Dokimon are alike anymore, and will be the new standard for our games moving forward.
New Moves and Animation re-allocation
In addition to adding nearly 30 new moves made from scratch, we also added and re-allocated some overused move animations to help increase variety. Before, some animations got used over 10 times, while others got used only once or twice. With a few new move animations, and a better spread of re-used animations, using moves in general feels a lot better than it did previously.
Bug Fixes, QOL, and Minor Additions To recap some recent additions, since a lot of people seemed to miss the previous patch notes (which is mostly because it was edited/updated over time). Since it's a LONG list, I'll share it at the bottom of this page.
Thank you for Everything All of these recent fixes, changes, additions, and improvements are all thanks to the communities plethora of feedback and advice, and we simply couldn't have done it without all of you! So, again, thank you all! From the bottom of my heart I am eternally grateful!
For everyone that doesn't know, our next game "Yami Kids" will be releasing in just 2 weeks, and has most-to-all of the feedback and improvements that went into Dokimon Quest right on launch day!
