Look - I know it sucks. It sucks for you, it sucked for me because I had to do away with my pretty coding so I can boringly tell them they've got x amount of SRP from the evolution.

But it's good for the game. (not to pick on you, but) Bey has end-game stats right now. I don't mean end campaign 1, I don't mean end campaign 2, I mean, when I project MonBre to be finished - he's that strong. This is a product of being an older player: gaining lots of stats from working, having ridiculous splice rates (from some time ago) (and from about 2 weeks ago) and especially evolution. I didn't realize how bad it was until I did some math!

Before, old system. A "balanced type", evil teen, would gain NINE stats in EACH category. That's equivalent to FORTY-FIVE level ups, and I only gave them +20 levels to compensate. When your stats are in the 300s, it takes a whole lot of SRP to raise it up even one point (again, 300 stats are fine since SRP gains raise as mobs get tougher; we just haven't gotten there yet) and here I am giving out 45 stat points worth!

So the new system is ultimately worse for your monsters, but best for the game. I'm only one guy, and MonBre was my first game I ever developed. I was a senior in high school, over two years ago, when I first made the evolution script. I've become a better coder in the past year and through my horrible mistakes, I've learned how to design a game.

I do sympathize with the higher levels because they're high-leveled for a reason - they like monbre. I hope this doesn't deter you from loving the game, and I swear this is the last major change you guys will get, because evolution was the final piece in the stat balance puzzle.

Edit: Right! And don't forget, those SRP gains are still just for one evolution. So even if you get crappy SRP as a baby, not only will toddler be higher, but it'll still be even more SRP in addition to what you had before.

But they won't go up, either, and that's probably for the best... If you feel the need to level like crazy, freeze your super monster and get a new one, I guess.

I think I hate it at the moment. My worker monster says it'll get enough SRP to raise one stat for going from child to teen. It's not even a second generation monster.

It appears to be toddler to child, not child to teen. :o Which monster is it? I cannot see your frozen ones.

Ginga, and as soon as I saw the low SRP rate I decided to wait until I had more info on what made the SRP/evolution ratio tick. Maybe there was something I could do to up the SRP rate? Anyway, it's child to teen. I didn't go through with the evolution.

Oh, chimera types get no SRP at all.. Awesome...


They... never received stats. :o That is part of the agreement you take when you get a chimera. In fact, in terms of RELATIVITY, they've now gotten a buff since they're not hurt by the nerf.

Lexca: I did some math and it seems child-> was a bit low for non-evil monsters so I changed the math just a bit. You should see like 50-75 more SRP?

What?! Why? Oh why did I get a chimera? *CJ pulls out the shotgun "Time to die bitch!"
What chimera? I have no chimera

Well anyways I can barely get any stats up now, 4 up in stamina and 1 up in the rest for a cute teen, that sucks!

The good news is, you'll be able to change your chimeras back

So, where did those Chimeras come from? Are they a leftover from previous versions of the game or are they still obtainable?

They are a secret!

Which really just means I don't know. They are obtainable, as far as I know, but I'm not sure what you need to splice and stuff.

It involves splicing a lot. I wouldn't let a whole monster type, with art and everything, go unused. O.o
