Hi everyone! We got a plethora of new players in this last couple of days, and absolutely DESTROYED our previous peak player count of 167, with 1,700 players online at one time!

With this influx of new players, some issues and new suggestions came up, which have been applied:

• Removed the Yes / No question from obstacles if you have the required item

• Updated the fairy "!" sprite to not cut out of the room you're currently in

• Set move predict to off by default (can still toggle it on from the options menu)

• Added an indicator to the tutorials screen to indicate there being more tutorials below

• Added a controls indicator to the saves screen explaining how to delete save files

• Added a page scroll to certain inventory categories where players were maxing out slots

• Added a "View Controls" button to settings to allow players to re-view game controls

• Added an additional yes/no ask before releasing Dokimon in the second town

• Added encounters to the first forest before your "first" battle with Koi

• Added more checks for Steam achievements so they don't appear to fire late

• Let save file reflect the auto-save progress rather than just manual saves only

• Adjusted several sprites for additional polish or clarity

• Fixed a couple of super rare crashes (thanks to those users for supplying crash logs!)

• Fixed a couple of newly reported script, translation, tiles, and collision issues

• Fixed a Mondex issue where certain monsters in double battles didn't get added to "seen"

• Fixed an issue that was resetting monster's movepools for some users

• Fixed an issue in permadeath mode where you could get "game over" despite having monsters

• Fixed an issue with some achievements that were sometimes firing late or incorrectly

• Fixed an issue with objects (NPCs, Trainers, etc) not loading in until the player moves

• Fixed monster death on monsters that have completely depleted their move uses

• Fixed an issue with sounds not honoring SFX volume before loading saves

• Fixed items and berry bushes disappearing for a single frame on pickup

• Fixed an issue where a BGM wouldn't end after a certain cutscene

• Fixed female Xer outfit fishing sprite

• Fixed some incorrect overworld tiles

• Fixed the XP bar(s) in the party menu screen

• Fixed an issue with evolutions firing late under certain conditions

• Fixed "New Quest" occasionally firing twice for the same quest log

• Removed the trees from the first forest's entrance to avoid confusion

• Changed how the "New Quest!" indicator works so as to not interrupt cutscenes

• Optimized some files, reduced total game download size by about 4MB

Why hello there! Today, I bring to you all an EXTREMELY fun and interesting update: Trading, and so, so much more
There's A LOT packed into this update ... let's get right into it!

Dokimon Quest: II ― The sequel launches it's Steam Page
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4670270/Dokimon_Quest_II/First and foremost, Dokimon's sequel has just launched it's Steam page! Please go check out the teaser trailer that just dropped and give it a wishlist if you are interested in the continuation of the main story!

Offline Trading, Battling

This is by far the most exciting thing to go into this update! After reaching Xelos City, the Megacity near your home town, you'll gain access to the "Trading Center" as well as a "Battle Center", in the same building.

These work by allowing you to generate codes, exchange them with your friends, and perform Dokimon trades! You'll also be able to build battle scenes, import your team, create a code, and share those around to battle against your friends teams!

Trading and Battling your friends has been one of the most highly requested features. Unfortunately, as a solo developer, this is not something I could ever possibly hope to achieve, especially not by myself. I would need SIGNIFICANT help (and... fundage). This system only really works since this is a PC game, and this system/feature is unlikely to come to Consoles (due to it basically just being pretty much impossible...)

With that said, this is a perfectly usable trade system, and fun little "Battle System", and this is the best version of these that I can offer with what I have available with my time and resources. I worked super duper hard on this, so I hope everyone can enjoy trading around and sharing codes with their friends and close ones!

The Tutorial Fairy

Another fun addition in this update is the tutorial fairy, found in several locations: Your home, hospitals, inns, onsens. The tutorial fairy gives you deeper insight regarding some of the games systems that, in the past, could be easy to miss if you didn't talk to every NPC, read through every sign, or skipped through some text without reading it.

The tutorial fairy allows you to, at practically any time, review the game's systems, and get a deeper insight into stuff like settings, battles, game features, and even some nifty little tricks that will come in handy!

Additionally, we added a little fairy notification to the bottom of the screen whenever the game is saved~

The Quest Log Rework

The Quest Log has been completely remade from scratch, allowing you to scroll through all current, and past quests, and players will even get a "New Quest!" notification after certain story advancements.

Various Miscellaneous Changes and Additions

Outside of what's already been stated, we also added a plethora of improvements mixed in with some fixes:

• Added a Water Fairy sprite when Surfing in the Dokimon DLC

• Added an animation and sound fx to the 'Momma Radar'

• Added new battle backgrounds: Ice Caves, Underwater, Battle Room

• Added a new dialogue portrait sprite to Professor Rena to make her more memorable

• Reduced the price of the Blight Crystal (repels monsters) and added to some earlier towns

• Added a 'saved' and also an 'autosaved' indicator to the bottom of the screen (fairy sprite)

• Fixed 'Flight' occasionally sending you to the wrong town

• Fixed 'Flight' town/destination name not updating on controller thumbstick movement

• Fixed Flight Master sometimes required multiple chat attempts to award the quest

• Added a 'teleport request cutscene' to Flight Master after completing his quest

• Fixed several areas that had conflicts with DLC vehicles

• Fixed some sprites/areas that had conflicts with the night system/palette

• Added some new SFX and added SFX to several locations that didn't have them

• Added scroll wrapping to a few menus that got requested to have this added

• Added an end-game 'alt-region' nudge notification

• Added an updated 'trap-door' sprite to Xelos City to make a hidden area more obvious

• Fixed countless grammatical issues in the English script

• Fixed several areas where the English script referred to you as a boy regardless of your character

• Reworded text in several areas in the English script to improve clarity and understanding

• Fixed several layering issues recently reported by players (and a couple collision issues)

Lastly, we're really excited to announce the release date for another 'MonTamer Maker' game, which many of you may already know: Yami Kids!

Yami Kids ー Releases September 22nd, 2026https://store.steampowered.com/app/3807690/Yami_Kids/I've been working on this closely, together with one of my friends GameDevTosh, and the game will be published by us at Yanako RPGs!

This is the first game of ours to release following Dokimon, and is already in a much more polished state, and has a lot of excitement in store!

Since this releases in less than one month, please consider checking out the trailer and giving the game a wishlist if you're interested!

Dokimon's DLC is currently 25% off for a limited time

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3314520/Dokimon_The_Great_Fairy_Island/

That's all for this update! For now, I'll be busy working on Yami Kids, and then moving full steam ahead on expending the Dokimon universe following that release :)

If you've been enjoying Dokimon or it's updates, you might enjoy the sequel to get a few extra hours out of the game, and some neat new features and interactions!

Regardless, thank you all for supporting me and my work, and hope to see you in future projects!!!

Cheers!
