Monkeys & Dragons Windows game

I spent the last days with improving the current beta test version of Monkeys & Dragons. I want to thank all beta testers who sent me e-mails in the last days. The feedback was very positive and I thank you for all the ideas you sent me. Many suggestions are already part of this update.

If you want to get a free copy of Monkeys & Dragons to beta test it, your next chance is here on IndieDB!

Chapter 2 is going to be published next week.

New features

Atmosphere

• When advancing to a new chapter, the unlocked scenes are displayed.
• The map in the Souvenir Shop now has the same Pixel Art style as the shop.
• After using certain one-use objects in the world, they can now longer be examined or used.

Settings

• Movement animations for the Beautiful Woman and the Monkey were wrong for certain fullscreen resolutions.
