Eggomon

What else (that wasn’t mentioned in the PITCH) is going to be added as development continues?

50+ areas, monsters, custom sound effects, music, 11 Scouts as player characters, achievements and unlocks for further progression, a KEYWORDS system encouraging party diversity, opposing trainers, rival characters, day/night cycle with camp overnight mechanic, story elements, legendary monsters, boss battles, endings. The game aims to have professionally remade assets.

Why no levelling up mechanic?

Levelling up is time-consuming and makes older areas easier, which goes against the goal of keeping old areas fresh and relevant by offering new monsters and randomized elements like Evolution stones and fruits. Monsters become more powerful through eating fruits that increase stats and grant new KEYWORDS.

Is the art in the game final?

The current sprites are an awkward 128 x 128 pixel resolution, and plans include hiring a professional artist to redraw them at 256 x 256. Animations will also be more detailed with custom climaxes, monster entrances, and grabs.

Are the scouts all going to be recolors?

Some Scouts share the same general body plan but have different colors and aesthetics due to the extensive sprite work required for each new monster design. There will be 12 total Scouts.

The Monster (or option) I voted for, lost the election, will it ever be added to the game?

What changes are being made to improve user experience?

What types are planned for the game and what are their strengths and weaknesses?

Scout Management

• Losing a battle as a scout will put them in the stables.
• If Cinder is impregnated by a Bugger, she will be added to the stables.

Team Composition and Strategy

• Arrange your team order carefully to prevent scouts from being grabbed by enemies with higher speed or better grab chance.
• Consider using monsters with high Block in critical positions to mitigate the risk of scouts getting grabbed.
• Struggling early can be a safer strategy if you have enough turns left to finish the fight without risking an instant game over.
• Losing scouts strategically can allow you to breed new Eggomon with better genes, especially if the scout has good traits.
• Maintain a balance of element stones by breeding with monsters of the same element when possible.

Random Number Generator (RNG) Considerations

• Bad RNG in struggles can lead to scouts getting knocked up, so it's important to manage your team composition and timing accordingly.
• Having a safety net for struggling early can mitigate the risk of instant game over due to bad RNG.

Combat Strategies

• Avoid facing multiple enemies consecutively by managing your team's strength and using Scout to negotiate with evolved monsters.
• Consider offering yourself to an evolved monster during combat to reduce the number of enemies your team has to fight.

Monster Management

• Utilize camping mechanics to improve obedience levels or heal injured monsters, balancing resource consumption against potential risks.
• Explore breeding as a strategy for obtaining stronger monsters and managing team composition.
• Consider evolving stones to unlock special third-stage forms with different types for some monster species.
• Breeding with monsters can yield offspring with better genes. However, consider timing and location when deciding whether to submit or wait for a more opportune moment.
• Fast-forwarding through game over scenes is not currently implemented but could be added in future updates.

Game Mechanics

• Implement a cooldown period for using potions or other consumables after combat encounters to maintain challenge.
• Introduce tooltips and a 'dex' (monster encyclopedia) to clarify mechanics and provide more information about monsters and their abilities.
• Speed up combat message playback to reduce time spent on each turn without compromising strategy.
• Traits affect various aspects of your Eggomon, but their specific effects are not detailed in-game. Refer to community guides for comprehensive trait descriptions.
• Submitting to a monster allows you to breed with it immediately, saving an element stone if the monster shares the same element as one of your scouts.

User Interface Enhancements

• Ensure the bag option is always accessible during combat for potion usage, enhancing player convenience and reducing frustration.
• Press R next to objects of interest in unique locations to trigger hidden lore blurbs and gain additional context about the game world.
• Sprinting can be activated by pressing Shift, but it drains scout stamina. Increase stamina pool by raising fertility with herbs.
