Dokimon: Quest news & patch notes

Hi! So... I couldn't help myself, lol. I did a cool thing recently and, just had to add it to Dokimon''

Let's get right into this new update !!!

Battle Moves and Movement Rework

So the way that Dokimon move whilst in battles has been touched up, most noticeable in double battles. For example, when selecting a move, the Dokimon you're choosing a move for will now be still, to make it more obvious who you're picking a move for. Additionally, when hovering over a Dokimon (to pick who you will attack), that monster will be stilled too, and not moving, to make THAT more obvious as well. We also reworked how the moves are positioned. Before, the moves animations could go mis-positioned after a Dokimon death, making it animate off-centered, or occasionally animating in the middle of two Dokimon, which was confusing, and could make it look like your move hit the wrong monster. This has been fixed, so even if you suddenly go from a 2v2 to a 2v1, there will be no move animation positioning issues any longer.

Visual Feedback

So the movement rework kind of goes hand in hand with the battle movement rework. Now, when damaging an enemy (or when you take damage), your monster will blink a few times. This further clarifies WHO is taking damage, WHO is dealing damage, and all-in-all provides for a much better battle experience.

Small Changes

One "small but kind of goes a long way" addition is enemy hover memory. Now, when double battling, your monsters will remember which slot they last attacked in. For example, if you first monster attacked the right spot and your second monster attacked the left spot, on the start of the next turn, these two choices will be remembered. This makes it so you can slug through the battles much easier. As long as no one dies, you can just spam A or Enter (whatever) to use the same move and attack the same opponents, only needing to adjust (potentially) when changes on the field happen (i.e. if you or your opponent suffers a monster defeat)

I wasn't really expecting to update this game again tbh, and most certainly not this soon after releasing a "Final" update but ... I was experimenting with battle stuff recently, and this actually came out REALLY well so ... I put in the time to bring it to you guys ♡ Hope you enjoy!

I'll be working on Dokimon Quest 2 in the meantime, please give Dokimon a review or try out the DLC if you want !!!

That's all for now~ Cheers!

Hi guys! We've gotten a lot of complaints of "clunkiness" regarding the game. Now, while a lot of these things are more or less unavoidable (or even intentional) with the game having heavy GBC inspiration, some of the clunkiness did come from hindsights.

I did my best to fix as much of those as possible without taking away from GBC essence of the game, so let's get right in to what changed recently and in this update.

The Main Thing: Movement Rework

Movement has been completely reworked to allow new inputs to push you towards that direction, even if you're still holding the previous direction key. For example: holding right and moving right, and then, whilst still holding right key, holding up for 2-3 grid spaces, before letting go of up (and continuing right).

It's a bit hard to explain but ... you'll find it's probably more what you're used to from other games if you jump in and give it a try! Along with the movement rework, we also added a new nifty little option ...

Buttery Smooth Movement

Movement prediction has been added, which you can disable from the options menu if you don't like it, which essentially lets you "glide" around corners instead of just running into them and coming to a halt. It can be a little weird in a couple of tighter areas, but adds for a less intrusive movement system for a majority of the experience.

An example of this feature in action would be: walking UP towards a house and running into the corner makes your character immediately move to the right (or left) to continue walking up, instead of stopping.

This feature is enabled by default but it can be disabled at any time from the options menu:

Other Improvements

• Added cursor wrapping in some areas that was missing it (i.e. the options screens)

• Fixed a bug that returned to 1st party mon when pressing BACK on a monster info screen

• Added in several missing sound effects (language selector, party screen, and several others)

• Greatly reduced the time the player stands still in between room transfers (entering/leaving homes)

• Adjusted the battle speedup system slightly (including speeding up move animations to match battle speed)

• Adjusted move animation and monster death timing so that death "animations" aren't played before HP hits 0

• Possibly fixed a minor graphical error when inside homes (white line on top/bottom screen)

• Fixed an issue where some items/objects would be invisible at night time (Ai cutscene, eggs)

• Fixed an issue where the meteorite collector (final town) needed to be talked to twice before getting your item

• Fixed an issue that let you enter the alt region early (was tracking "seen" all monsters instead of caught...)

• Fixed an issue that killed music when switching to Piano/8bit until you moved

• Adjusted shop UI to account for greater space to remove run-off text

• Fixed countless translation errors, mix-ups, or missing translations

• Slightly improved the typechart screen in monster info

• Fixed several typo's and a few run over messages

• Removed cliff sound effect when using vehicles

• Fixed a couple items that had identical pricing

That's all^^ p.s. the Steam Summer Sale is now officially over~ If you want to check out the game's recently released DLC, it has been quite well received by everyone who's played it!

But before any of that, I just want to thank everyone that has enjoyed this game, and to all the new people that picked it up over the Steam Summer Sale :) I'm a solo developer and this is my first big game I've released by myself, and here I am updating it almost 2 years later !!! (omg... lol)

To all the new people that may or may not know, we are working on a new game called Yami Kids, which is a new IP, new art style, and will have all the updated QOL and other misc. fixes on launch day. Please look forward to that !

I'll put all the links below here~ Please give the game a review if you've enjoyed it or been happy with the upkeep !!! Thank you ♡

Dokimon DLC (just released!)

Yami Kids － Coming in 2026

Dokimon: Quest (this game) just in case you want to give it a review!

Any and all feedback is welcome as always! Either on this thread, or in our Discord. We'll see you in the next one... Cheers!

Coming soon:

Hi guys! We have gotten a plethora of new players with the Steam Summer Sale this year, and with this some bug reports. We just went in and fixed a few things with this patch and will likely push out a couple more over the span of this week.

Thankfully there hasn't been anything major, so we're just patching small things. If you find anything that feels weird or gets you stuck, please report it here or on our Discord and I will fix it or try to improve it if possible.

Now to the Question...

Should we add little tutorial cards throughout the game? Originally, because I wanted the game to play and feel like games from my childhood, these "tutorials" were mostly intentionally put in text, to influence exploration.

Meaning, game systems, secrets, tips, and tricks are found on signposts, by talking to NPCs, and just playing and exploring the game as you would.

However, because this type of system is outdated by modern day standards, a high number of players get lost, end up with unanswered questions, and have a poor experience. This is especially the case for people that haven't played a game like this before, or, didn't grow up with GB, GBC, GBA era games.

Thus I have been considered adding some kind of simple tutorial: For example, after you first battle, maybe a little 2-3 page tutorial window thing pops up explaining battles slightly more, teaching players about the shiny mechanic in this game, and tells you how to capture monsters before letting you walk again.

I for one absolutely hate tutorials, as they are almost always non-skippable, however I think we could get away with just a few instances of this in Dokimon, and keep them rather short so that the annoyances of viewing them is much less than not having them and never knowing...

Anyway, let me know what you guys think! I didn't plan on updating Dokimon anymore but, with such a high volume of new players as of recent, and the assumingly high volumes of new players that would come with any new games releases in this series, I feel like a tutorial and possibly a couple other small improvements could go a long way.

If you've been enjoying the game or happy with the maintannence on it I'd really appreciate it if you leave a review! I do my best to update the game in between working on the sequel and my other responsibilities to ensure for the best possible experience for all my players. You can review the game from the main Steam page if you want: p.s. the game's new DLC that just released last month is still on sale! It's currently 20% off, and adds a lot of new fun into the game including the wrapping up of some story bits. You can pick it up here:

That's all for today guys! Let me know what you think about the tutorial question, and also any bugs or issues you run into (if any). You can respond here or tell me on Discord, thank you so much!!!

Hi guys! Firstly, I just wanted to let everyone know that the game released to Xbox this week, whoohoo!

Updates and Additions

In this update, we made some slight improvements to general systems, including reworking the typechart page in the monster info screen, addressing some recent complaints, and also added the French language to the game!

Big Shoutout to Discord User "phey26" or "Phey" for translating the entire game for us!!

Game DLC Now On Sale for 20% Off

p.s. If you didn't see it yet, we released a new DLC last month, and that DLC is already on it's first sale for 20% off, making it just a few dollars! This DLC adds some new areas, story elements including several new cutscenes, new vehicles, and more. You can also pick it up even cheaper if you buy it through collector's edition bundle! I'll link it below for anyone that wants to check it out:

If you've been enjoying Dokimon: Quest or happy with the frequent or recent updates, please consider giving the game a review! It's been nearly two years since launch and I've really been doing my absolute best to perform maintenance, implement improvements, and do whatever I can for the game in-between my daily life and other multiple projects I'm working on... so leaving a quick review would really mean a lot! If you want to review the game, you can do so from the main store page of the game:

That's all for now! We also updated our website a bit recently if anyone is curious... Until next time! Official Website: https://www.yanakorpgs.com/ Official Community Discord: https://discord.com/invite/4YUaYNvVHD

Hiyo! I'm here with some bug fixes and improvements for the demo, as well as some things I think a lot of people have really been looking forward to.

Monster Evolutions Rework

The way monsters evolve has been completely reworked, to allow party monsters not currently battling to evolve right in the battles. Because it's the full evolution sequence, you can even cancel their evolutions, for the people that want to have living dexes and the such. We don't currently have a way to permanently prevent monsters from evolving, however, if you bind them with an item, they won't evolve so... That's one method! Additionally, in the evolution rework, we added a queue, so you can evolve multiple monsters in a row. In the past, there was also a bug where sometimes the showing monster was incorrect. This has been fixed.

Piano BGM Fixes

Until now, the Piano BGM had some areas where the music would overlap with other songs. We have remedied this and have been unable to replicate previous issues after some hours of testing. That said, if anyone experiences it again, please let us know where (which cutscene, area, in or before/after a battle, etc).

Complete Options Menu Rework

The options menu has been more or less completely remade from scratch, ditching the old, confusing, clunky menu. We've also added a plethora of new options, including toggles for your partner collision, and adjuster for the movement delay that allows players to turn to face a direction without moving, and settings that let you disable stuff like permanent monster death or limited monster rosters, as we found some people enabled them on accident.

Movement Improvements

I'd like to re-iterate on this, because it's important. Many people have complained about clunky movement, or a clunky partner collision. Whilst, these were added as, for some people, devices, and controllers, turning to face a direction (i.e. to face your partner) without actually taking a step in that direction could prove to be very difficult.

For those players, I recommend normal or slower movement delay, and/or having the partner block on. For players that want a speedy movement experience, try setting movement delay to Instant, or Fastest, and removing partner block.

New Save Icons for Difficulty Settings

This said, there has also been some new icons that have been added to your save files, so if you're playing in hardmode, with monster deaths, or the limit to 6 monsters cap rule, this will be displayed on your save file as proof for bragging to your friends ;)

*If you're playing in hardmode, because battle difficulty has been added as an in-game option, make sure you don't dip into normal or easy mode, otherwise your hardmore difficulty icon will disappear forever!

*New Dokimon DLC

For those that are not aware, there is a new DLC for Dokimon which adds some new content. Thankfully, we didn't have any major issues with the release of this DLC, and have only had to push through some very minor bug fixes and improvements for clarity of the new story elements.

If you haven't checked it out yet, the DLC is relatively cheap, and can be picked up at a discount at any time if you get it through the "Dokimon Collector's Edition" bundle:

Thank you for your support

This is probably going to be the last Dokimon update, as I want to start focusing fully on the sequel, and a spin-off game I've been playing with in my free time^^

I want to thank everyone for their support, feedback, and play hours in this game, and also just for simply loving this game that I spent quite literally +10k hours on at this point.

As always, we really appreciate reviews on the game (and DLC), as we've always tried super hard to remedy requests and any issues players have found as quickly as possible.

If you'd like to see more from us, please consider checking out Yami Kids and giving it a wishlist, as this game is scheduled to release within this year.

As for Dokimon Quest: II, we have some really, really exciting things planned, and can't wait to continue the adventure of this series in this new title. Please look forward to it!

Cheers! - Yano

Yami Kids: Built on the Dokimon engine, coming in 2026

Coming Soon

Hi guys! Our new DLC is currently live and available to play. This is our first time ever doing a DLC and, man, was a lot packed into this one!

We have a huge new areas to explore, a new shrine, several new cutscenes with new (and familiar) characters, new biomes, vehicles, and overworld encounters!

This DLC is immediately available after completing the game's main story line. You'll get a call from Professor Rei while you're outside, and can start this new quest line from her lab in your hometown.

Since this is our first DLC ever, we are expecting a little bit of turbulence, but have already pushed through a couple small patches fixing some minor bugs that players found after release.

If you find yourself enjoying the DLC we'd appreciate it so much if you could give it a quick review from the DLC page as this is the best way to help it perform well and support us developers so that we can bring new games, DLC, and more to this series^^

The DLC does have a launch discount of 20% off, AND it's in a "complete your collection" bundle for the new "Dokimon Collectors Edition" bundle, so definitely get it now while it's nice and cheap ~

If you find any bugs, or have feedback or suggestions, please feel free to leave them in this forum post! We are also working on a Dokimon update that will come to all users to essentially completely rework the settings menu from scratch to bring several improvements and new options to that, so please look forward to it, and if you have any suggestions for that let us know here too!

That's all for now^^ Cheers!

Hi guys! Some simple fixes here while also preparing for the recently announced Story DLC, that will be taking place on the all new, Great Fairy Island.

This DLC will add a few hours of extra story content, new places to discover and explore, vehicles to unlock and enjoy, as well as cool new overworld encounters for some of the special monsters in the Dokimon roster.

You can Wishlist, or read more about the DLC here:

We're really super excited for this, as it's our first time ever doing a DLC for one of our games, and we hope you all enjoy the new content!

What's been Changed

Anyway, moving back to this update. We fixed some minor issues that came with the last couple of updates, and applied some feedback we saw recently in the last update announcement thread, in the Discord, and in the Steam community hub, to improve the game for current and future players.

As always, we really appreciate everyone's feedback!

In-Battle Evolutions Temporarily Disabled Another thing to note, we have temporarily disabled the in-battle evolutions for party monsters, as we noticed this created a new issue on it's own. Since the way these evolutions happen, there's no way to cancel them, which has it's own inconveniences.

We'd like to re-enable this feature soon, and currently considering the best ways to do so. Some ways we've thought up are as follows:

• Re-enable it as is, but allow evolution canceling (similar to normal evolutions)

• Adding an option to the settings that lets you toggle this feature on/off (off by default)

• Adding an item that you unlock part-way through the game, which you can use to enable or disable party monster evolutions in-battle

If you have any suggestions, or want to cast a vote on one of the options we thought up, please let us know in this thread or on Discord, thank you so much!

Don't forget to give the DLC a Wishlist by opening up the link at the top of this update! It really helps with the algorithm, so we appreciate it in advance, thank you!

Hi guys, we've gotten a lot of feedback in recent reviews, so I decided to take the time to address the most important / most requested items. Here's the full changelog:

• Drastically improved the "Battle Toggle" menu option. It just stays on permanently now

• Added in-battle Evolutions for non-battling monsters in your party

• Added "leveled up!" messages for non-battling monsters in your party

• Made "currently hovering" monster cursor more visible for Party Monsters menu screen

• Drastically reduced input delay on character movement and instead added short collision to your follower

• Removed some logs to now make unlocking "log removal" 100% completely optional (do it after beating the game if you want)

• Nerfed some moves that people were complaining were too OP / made the game too easy

• Removed a keyboard shortcut which mutes the game that people seemed to often accidentally press which resulted in them thinking the game's sound was broken

• Fixed some broken battle messages and NPC messages (or made clarifications to avoid confusion)

• Made it so that "NO" is ALWAYS the default yes/no option (now even when fishing ...)

• Slightly improved the graphics or UIX of some menu's

• Fixed some typo's in the English script

The biggest changes here are the drastic improvements to the Battle Speed Toggle, and the addition of in-battle evolutions for monsters that aren't currently in-battle (there is no animation for them).

*Lots of people have seemed to miss an item needed to clear logs. To combat this, I made clearing logs completely 100% optional, so if you like, you can now beat the game without unlocking this, and just never do it, or perhaps do it after unlocking Flight for example.

Lots of people seemed to really dislike the slight movement delay. Without the delay, it would be impossible to turn your character without actually moving in that direction, which is needed for talking to your follower. In this update, I drastically reduced that "turn but don't move window", however, added a short collision when trying to collide with your follower, making it so you instead face them, so that it's still possible to talk to them (your monster or a following human character).

I also added "blabla leveled up" for your party monsters (I intentionally didn't add it originally, as I thought it would crowd the battle messages too much, drag battles out more, and become annoying, but too many people complained about this, so I put it in ~).

There was a ton of other small changes too that I'm probably forgetting, but the bullet list above includes the majority of the changes.

If I was able to fix any of the things that annoyed you, please consider updating your review, or giving the game a review if you haven't already !!!

If you've been enjoying the game, or want to see more games in the Dokimon series, leaving a review is the best way to help us get seen by other gamers and support us to help make new Dokimon games more possible! ♡

As always, please continue to leave your feedback, or report anything you wish to. We will considering your requests, either for updates, or future titles :)

Hi guys! It's my birthday tomorrow, and all I want is for more people to experience and enjoy my game, so I scheduled the by-far steepest sale yet, a whopping 90% off! Additionally, the game just launched to iOS for $3.99, and is coming soon to Android also! If you have any family, children, etc, that are into games, but don't have something like a Switch or PC, please consider showing them the game on iOS! Android is expected within 2 weeks of this post.

For this update, we added some minor improvements, to help with new, and returning players. One thing to mention is tooltips on the new difficulty settings to provide some clarity, some balancing adjustments, and other various improvements.

We're very happy to announce that we have had a smooth transition into development on the sequel, Dokimon Quest II, and have so many excited new characters and features that we can't wait to share with everyone later this year!

Lastly, our first game Nuumonsters has been fully remade in our MonTamer Maker engine, and is currently undergoing testing and QA for it's re-release, which was recently announced to come out on February 18th, which is the 5 year anniversary for the game!

The game is currently on a sale alongside Dokimon, so if you're interested in seeing our first game and how we evolved as a development team, as well as play the new "made-from-scratch" version releasing soon, check it out on Steam! (both versions of the game will be available following the re-release of this title)

That's all for now~ If you're interested in checking out the game on iOS, Switch, MonTamer Maker or other projects, you can find links to everything on our website: https://www.yanakorpgs.com/

Cheers!

Hi guys! This is the last of the stuff I wanted to add in that I didn't have time to last time :D Here's the patch notes: - Added: 2 Bunny Girl Outfits for Purchase. Find them at your local casino! - Added: All 9 Playable Character "Outfits". Find them in the alt region in the post story!

We also added a new map to the alt region, so it should be a bit easier to navigate now, check it out!

Along with this also enabled a setting that lets you toggle the XP Orbs on and off. To turn them off (or back on) simply hover over them in your quest items in inventory and "select" them. If they're off, a big X will draw over the item sprite, so it's pretty hard to miss if you have them off!

That's all for now! Hope you guys had some happy holidays and enjoy the last few days of your year :D

p.s. We're just 8 reviews away from breaking 250 :o if you enjoyed Dokimon: Quest (or enjoyed the free updates), like for example this one that added bunny girl costumes ;) I'd really love it if you reviewed the game! You can review the game from the main store page if you're interested ♡ Don't forget to tell your friends the game is currently 75% off !!! Cheers, - Yano

Hey guys! This will be super short since I'm kind of sick and technically shouldn't even be working now D: (oh no!), but I have a pretty exciting update for you guys today! Lets get into it: First of all, the game is on a super steep sale @ 75% off. Please help spread the word by telling your friends and family!

We also added these new game modes, which you can select on new save creation:

• Monsters perma-death: Monsters die permanently when fainting in battle.

• 6 Monsters cap: You can only have 6 monsters + 1 extra slot in your PC

• Difficulty slider: Now, when creating a save you can choose between easy, normal, hard

Quick explanation on each of these new updates:

• Perma-death: it's as it sounds. But if the last monster you own dies, your save is toast, and your house will forever be haunted by crows... make sure to stock up on lots of monsters!

• 6 Monsters cap: You can only have 6 monsters (technically 7). All monsters you retrieve WILL go into your PC, however, upon closing your PC, every monster in the X'd out slots will be deleted.

• Difficulty slider: All Dokimon saves are currently based on "Easy". Start a new save to give Normal or Hard a try! You'll find that normal has more baseline level curves and smarter enemy Ai, while Hard is similar, but slightly more grindy, difficult, and... fun!

Along with these additions, we also added scale-able income (by badge count) to assist with the late game expensive items, as well as several other minor improvements that were asked for extensively from the community. Considering my current condition, the only of these I can remember now is that full odds "unique" palette monsters get a super special star, whereas morph toxic'd monsters get a separate star~

Unfortunately there was a solid few more things I wanted to add to this update which I wasn't able to fit in due to getting sick, which I will add in after I'm feeling better (hopefully before Christmas!) That's all for this time around guys~ Let me know if you're happy with these new additions and if you have any more requests! p.s. did you know? This game released to Switch recently... whoohoo!! Hey! Yano here. I'm a solo dev and do my best to fix any issues you guys run into and give this game lots of new life via free content updates, alongside other improvements and additions. If you enjoyed this game, please give it a review! We're suuuuuper close to 250 reviews, and I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts! Cheers ♡

Hi~ Small update today that address some minor issues and requested improvements:

• 日本語のスクリプトは最初から作り直しました。それに、HDフォントが使えるようになりました。

• Fixed an issue with switching monsters that occurred when using the new "battle speed toggle" setting

• Fixed an issue that (rarely) happened to some players, causing them to get stuck in Gad'riel's Peak

• Applied some potential fixes to Steamdeck Crashes when playing in Gaming Mode (no known issues when playing in Desktop Mode and Fullscreen option enabled)

• WIP Setting that enables an HD font for scenes and dialogue (hasn't been thoroughly tested, use at your own risk)

• Added a window resizer slider that lets you cycle through and confirm a new window size for the game

• Other light bug fixes not worth mentioning

If you're one of the few people that got stuck in Gad'riel's Peak, just load into your save, it will fix itself. You may need to defeat Faye again.

That's all for this update^^ We are working on a bigger update that will be hitting main later this week, as well as working on, testing, and improving the new Japanese script, and HD Font system.

But for now, please enjoy these light fixes and improvements! If you find any issues with this build, or want to make some suggestions, let me know in this thread or on our Discord. Cheers! - Yano Discord Link: https://discord.com/invite/4YUaYNvVHD

Hey guys! We recently surpassed 1 year of Dokimon on Steam, whoohoo! With that, I'd like to talk about some announcements, as well as the future of Dokimon: Quest and the series as a whole.

To start this off, we are thrilled to announce that the game has released to Nintendo Switch!

This is our first big RPG Made with MonTamer Maker to release to console, and so far the reception has been great! You can find a link to the game on Switch below, as well as a link to the engine that Dokimon: Quest was made in, which is soon releasing to Steam!

Doki Monsters: Quest ー Nintendo eShop Link: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/doki-monsters-quest-switch/

MonTamer Maker ー Coming to Steam in 2025

With that said, we have some more announcements regarding Dokimon: Quest, including a 1 year anniversary update coming this December!

About the Content Update

For this content update, we're going to be improving some story bits in the base game as you know it now, adding some new challenges to the final areas and the alt-region, lightly improving some systems, adding some new clothes and accessories, improving the script and localization system for Japanese, and also adding in some new NPCs. We are also considering adding in an optional tutorial that explains some of the more hidden systems of the game (like AP / EPs, Movepools, etc), but this is still in the cards. Let me know what you think!

Other planned updates In other news, stuff that's not necessarily coming to or because of the content update, but still coming. We're going to be addressing a "Switch Monster" issue that came with the new "toggle battle speed" setting, adding some new settings including a window size slider along with other resolution related optimizations, attempting to address some issues that occur only when playing on Steamdeck in Gaming Mode (no known issues in Desktop Mode), and there's also the possibility of adding a difficulty slider for battles and level curve.

We're not quite sure about this one yet, but we are also considering adding "participation reward" for battlers that were in a battle, but just didn't land the final hit, as well as allowing monsters to evolve in-battle even if they are not actively in use.

Labor of Love Hey, did you know? Dokimon: Quest is elligible for the labor of love reward in the Steam Rewards, we would be so happy if you could nominate us for this event if you enjoyed the game!

(Here's the link to do that: https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations/2025)

Accepting Feedback As Always! If any of these features sound fun, let me know in the comments, and please feel free to suggest any other tweaks or additions that you think could improve the game! You can also provide feedback in our Discord channel: https://discord.com/invite/4YUaYNvVHD

That concludes the 1 year anniversary update! Or wait... I almost forgot the most important announcement of them all!

p.s. ー pls consider giving Dokimon: Quest a review!

That's all folks, cheers! - Yano

Hi guys! Just wanted to touch in very quickly and note that Dokimon: Quest is currently 75% off, which is it's steepest sale yet! Additionally, we have decreased the price recently (in several currencies), but the USD price has dropped from $19.99 to just $17.99. This brings the current price down to just $4.49, which is a steal at less than $5. Tell your friends!

If you haven't seen it yet, we also updated the game a couple of times recently, adding and enhancing some features. Please check out the community hub to read more about that!

What's next for Dokimon?

At current, we are working on our next game, Yami Kids, which is built on the Dokimon engine. Additionally, we have already started playing around with some new art, characters, and mechanics for a Dokimon sequel, as well as some other really neat stuff that we can't share about yet.

I hope you look forward to future Dokimon news, and I want to thank everyone that's supported and played and loved my game I made! ♡

Yami Kids

If you have any interest in it, Yami Kids is our next project, which is currently live on Kickstarter with less than 48 hours remaining to back it.

Did you know? Dokimon: Quest was a Kickstarter project too, that launched about 3 years ago! In fact, 7 out of the 9 playable characters were designed by gamers just like you^^ Additionally, around 10 monsters were also designed by players, can you guess which ones?~ If you're interested in checking out our next game, I'll leave a link below. But if not, that's ok too. Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/56605700/yami-kids

As always, we're open to your feedback, and if you run into any issues with Dokimon, please feel free to make a community hub post, or let us know in our SNS channels. Discord: https://discord.com/invite/4YUaYNvVHD We're working on our new game, as well as slowly branching out ideas for new Dokimon games, so this may (or may not) be the last update for a little while. Until then, see you Discord, X, and so on! Cheers, - Yano

Hi guys. Small update today fixing a bug in the recently added "PC Info" feature, that lets you view monster info right from your PC. There was an issue when trying to search and empty spot that has been fixed.

Battle Speedup Toggle ON/OFF

We're also happy to announce that we've added a requested feature, battle speed toggle. When enabling this in options, it replaces the "hold to speed" feature when battling.

Instead, you only have to press the action key once, and the battle will be sped up until it's time to choose your next move. Of course, you can press it again to return to normal speed at any time. To use this new feature, simply toggle it on (as seen in screenshot above) and try it out! Accepting Feedback As always, we love to hear your feedback and requests. If you have anything you think could improve the gameplay, story, or world element, please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know!

Please leave a review!

If you've been enjoying the game or happy with our recent updates we'd be so happy if you could leave a review on the game! You can leave a review from the store page, right under the screenshots: That's all for today guys :D I guess as a final note, I'd love to bring up my current working projects. Currently, I'm working on a game called "Yami Kids" with my friend Tosh, as well as a Steam version for "MonTamer Maker", aka MonMae! Yami Kids This is a game similar to Dokimon: Quest, on the same engine, but with a new spin :D I am directly involved with the entire development, so please check it out if you enjoyed Dokimon! The game currently has an active Kickstarter campaign and just recently hit $10k! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/56605700/yami-kids

MonTamer Maker I'll also put a link to MonMae in case you're interested :D This is the engine that Dokimon was made in, and in the Steam version you will be able to make and upload games to play!

Cheers! - Yano

This is the next step in my journey as a game developer. I'm so excited to be working on Yami Kids following Dokimon: Quest. Please look forward to it on Steam and Kickstarter!

Heyo! Yano here. I'm here to announce Yami Kids, the next game after Dokimon: Quest to be released by me on the MonMae engine!

I'm super excited for Yami Kids, so I could talk about it all day... But instead, I'll let do the Steam page do the talking^^

If you enjoyed Dokimon, and wanna see a new game made on the same engine, please consider Wishlisting it!

I'm also very happy to announce that I have help this time, and won't be making Yami Kids completely alone! (unlike Dokimon...) Now, we have programming AND marketing help, new artists, and the beautiful community we got through Dokimon to get feedback, and properly test it before release :)

This is the next chapter in my life, and as a game developer. Please support it!

Hey guys~ First update in a little while :) Have you been enjoying you Dokimon experience? Aside from some small bug fixes, here's what this update brings: - Faster speed-up in battles. You should see a noticeable difference - Nearly doubled EXP from Yuujyou Orbs (Now, 1st orb gives 40%, up to 70% with all 4) - Additional Info is now available right from your PC, so you can view monsters stats, moves, etc - Slight changes/updates to story for clarity

Battle Speed-up Increase We've increased the speed-up in battles by more than 30%, so you should see a noticeable difference when holding down your action key in-battles.

Experience Orbs

We've gotten a lot of feedback about how the Yuujyou Orbs feel too weak. Therefore, we've increased them so that the very first orb gives you 40% experience to your party, up from about 25%. After collecting all 4 Yuujyou Orbs, which you can often find where there are many Xers, you can increase this to a max of 70%, up from about 50%.

in-PC Monster Info

Additionally, along with the "monster info" screen functionality being added to the PC, we improved the PC UI a bit to include monster portraits, I think it's a nice touch! Unfortunately not 100% of the monster info functions are available in the PC (i.e. nicknames, form changes), but you can still edit and view all of your monsters stats without having to put them in your party first.

Story Clarification

Lastly, some changes and additions to the story have been added. We've added some new NPCs with helpful tips and text, and changed some of the text to be less vague, and more straight-forward hints, so that the majority of players can have a smoother experience and play less guessing games.

All of these changes were to made directly to address things we've noticed people having a negative experience with, to hopefully try and ease their pain a bit (and to give new players a better time).
