Public 0.1.3: Bunnies, Wolves, and QoL

This new public update contains a bunch of quality of life changes. Additionally, there are two more monstergirl types and some other miscellaneous stuff. Enjoy!

Quality of Life

There have been a bunch of quality of life changes based on your feedback. The main ones are filters, a simpler way to select your party (including presets), and equipment loadouts. But there's a bunch of extra stuff as well.

For more information, see https://erodungeons.itch.io/ero-hunters/devlog/890545/version-013-quality-of-lif...

Bunnies

Bunny enemies, hopping around with repositioning moves and powerful kicks.

For more information, see https://erodungeons.itch.io/ero-hunters/devlog/881665/version-011-bunnies-and-cl...

Wolves

Wolfgirl enemies, that can wildshape during combat, restoring a chunk of HP and making them more vicious.

Persistence:

It was always a bit of a shame that you would lose any thrown equipment once you defeated an enemy.  It meant that attaching gear only really made sense for enemies you wanted to capture. However, now enemies can reoccur, keeping their gear/name/colors etc... This also means that enemies now have names, instead of being generic <RACE> <ROLE>.

Cleanup

Roles: All levels for all roles now give a bonus, additionally, they grant a permanent move at 28.

Dungeons: Dungeons now have unique overworld textures and different layouts and backgrounds.

For more information, see https://erodungeons.itch.io/ero-hunters/devlog/881665/version-011-bunnies-and-cl...

Moves: All moves have been reworked such that higher tier moves are always better in every way (including secondary effects). Higher tier moves will often give you multiple tokens at the same time.

Version 0.1.4 (Patreon/Subscribestar)

As always, weekly versions are released on PATREON/SUBSCRIBESTAR, support me there for early access.

More QoL

The UI struggle never ends.

Autocraft: You can now set workshops to autocraft, they will keep making items until all production targets are fulfilled, this way you no longer need to make a workshop per item.

Indicators: There are now warning flags on top of the screen if anything needs your attention, such as rewards being available, breeding being completed, or a building being overrun.

Teleports: You can now build Ports on every landing site, and can freely teleport between them.

Fatigue: While I originally intended fatigue to encourage you to swap out parties regularly, and make dungeons more difficulty over time, any implementation only became annoying. So I scrapped it completely.

Enchanting

Similar to Palworlds condensing system, you can now use three monstergirls to enchant a monstergirl of the same race. Enchanting grants the target a multiplicative production boost, vastly increasing production speed (and going further into the "playing tall" idea).

The three monstergirls used in the ritual get to retire to a farm upstate (no you don't get to visit them) and you get three small dolls in exchange. In the same way, you can use enchanted girls to further enchant all the way up to Legendary.

Limits

As mentioned in the previous devlog, the game starts to struggle around 200 girls in your roster. As such, there's now a soft cap around 100, forcing you to play somewhat tall, and upgrade your monstergirls rather than just getting more. In order to get up to this soft cap, you need to build houses. Once you're over the softcap you get a malus to breeding speed and capture chance.

Additionally, there's now also a level limit, depending on the highest shrine upgrade you've researched. This is mostly to prevent you from overlevelling a single group to 50 end clearing everything.

Training

It was already teased by piercings requiring your monstergirls to be pierced, but now "training" is finally in the game. Training just means employing your monstergirl in a training center, selecting a recipe, and getting a result once the training is completed.

This result varies. It can be a new perk, or just extra levels. The system is extremely flexible and uses the same scripting as moves/curios/everything.

You can also set up a training regime for your girls and they will automatically train, saving you a lot of clicking.,

Improved Wolves

Wildshaped wolves now look furrier. The main thing here was to allow the change to work smoothly in combat (and without breaking anything).

Next

Trading: The mainland requests girls that comply with certain specifications. Fulfill these requests to get a permanent trickle of resources. This is a late game way to use monstergirls, and offers some nice challenges.

Further improved wolves: Wolf pets still need to kneel.

Dungeons: We've now covered combat and the overworld, so the next target is dungeons. This means new curios, but mostly an internal system to handle the creation of dungeon rooms while also being moddable.
