Monster Charmer 0.0.6

Hail!

We have a big content update for you all this time. Key features are the unlocking of all the existing female characters, a new Orc NPC including dynamic animations with said females, as well as numerous gameplay flow improvements and optimizations. We also have another content update planned for early April as we continue to flesh out the Monster Charming mechanics behind the scenes, so stay tuned! :)

Thank you again for all of your support and feedback!

New

  • The island has a new Orcish visitor, Gromnir, who has a dynamic animation with each female character.
  • Added the ability to unlock Aeryn, Lucy, Luna, Yasmin & Zora (all female characters) by completing their respective tasks.
  • Control unlocked characters to access interactions with the Player Character (PC) and the new Orc NPC, Gromnir.
  • Day/Night can now be toggled easily by any controlled character; just follow the related task and rest to pass time.
  • Added a new day-time interaction between the PC and each of the female characters (5 in total)

Known Issues
