⭐V4 Announced!
⭐Version 4 of Monster Monsoon will be publicly available for download starting on May 12th.
This release will be a bit bigger than usual since it also includes an event pack that was made in January.
-V4 Changelog-
New Content
- 26 new events.
- 2 new phone apps for date invitations and videos.
- Sprout Queen as an alternative final boss.
- Nadia can be kidnapped by the queen.
- 2 new enemy types.
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.
-Early access to the V4 update is available through SubscribeStar-

i love how that little gremlin queen just steals Nadia! simply based
i wonder if we may see how they are doing after we beat the game? and will the Queen steal more companions in one playthrough, or be satisfied with just one toy?
awesome update and sprites :)
Thank you! I plan to start making endings in one of my next two updates. I added two more simple text-only endings in v4, they'll have a bit more happen in them in the future. The queen steals Nadia in this update, and I plan to add scenes for all 4 companions, with probably two more kidnappings in v5 and all four in v6. Whoever you get close to first will get stolen with only one character per game and a limited time-frame to rescue them. If you fail, you can always get the cauldron destruction ending.
looks fun!
Thanks! There's a small patch that I'm working on at the moment, so this list of changes will increase a little bit before the public release.
I've finally gotten started on incorporating the sprout queen into the story! She was the last remaining feature from my initial plan that I haven't added to the game yet. Here are the 3 potential queen designs that I sketched for a poll, I will let the winner be a surprise for when the update is released. The other two designs were also quite popular, so they may yet make an appearance in a future project!
I can see why! all three are cute and sexy in their own way. I feel B is the most picked one, but A. and C are just so unique! like actaul monsters its great!
