Net Egg
Using the Monster Action Select button (2) on the breeding screen will now pull a net egg - that is the genes of a monster form another player! It'll also upload one of yours. Each time you press it it refreshes the currently set gene, so you can get an absolute world of new surprising combinations made by other tamers just like you!
Two fun extras
Just for fun, if you find a wild egg or wild tamer pack, it may be tinted green! What does this mean? Well it means it came from another real life player that lost their items in battle, or did some breeding. This will spice up exploration a bit and I bet you're about to find some truly cool monsters out there :)
Next Steps
Overall I'm going to be adding additional explanations to the game in the form of Mimika, little mimicking birds that you'll be able to find on routes that offer supplementary knowledge to your playthrough. I'm a player that greatly enjoys experimenting to learn new things, but this offers a great way to provide more info to those who want it, while also being easily ignored by experimental or pro tamers without any mandatory cutscenes to disrupt your flow.
There'll also be a message added to the Brutus battle for next update to encourage new players to try out strategies, rather than being scared off by Brutus's level, and think they need to grind to beat it. It's unfortunately something that puts off a lot of new players but this battle serves to teach you that a solid strategy means more than level!
I will continue to polish, fix and add more content to Monster Crown over the coming weeks, thank you all for supporting the game!
