Today, July 18th 2023, A new update was released that significantly changes how long you can stay in the dreamscape. This was meant to be a small bugfix update but it ended up being fairly big and I think it warrants its own patchnote.
The changes include:
- Your highest level monster will now follow you in the overworld (Has no real gameplay implications, altho it represents your strongest monster which is also how enemies aggressiveness is calculated).
- Added items including healing items (allows you to stay in the dreamscape longer) and permanent stat boosting candies (persists after rebirth, allow you to better home in on your favorite evolution).
- Fixed a few bugs related to rebirthing and movesets (Ex: a creature that did not know magic spit could sometimes have it equipped after rebirthing).
- Some evolutions now require "Evil" which is a new stat that can only be gained by eating healing items.
- (This was added in v1.3.2 but was never mentioned) Enemy pathfinding is my better and spriting was rebalanced.
There are a few bugs that I am aware of. I will fix these bugs in the upcoming days. I don't have a release date for v1.4 (The new map update) but I can tell there will be at least 1 fairly big update before then as I am reworking how evolution works.
