Well, February came and went, I got quite a bit of work done, so that's good! So let's begin.

First thing's first, shops are in the game!

Lolbit and Mendo are here and are ready to sell to you!

Like the original game They'll sell you Bytes and armor respectively.

However, there's something else,

Each shop will sell 4 items, instead of the usual three.

the 4th byte of each type will cost a lot extra, and have a few special attributes,

for example, the Neon Hornet will shoot up to two stingers rather than one, dealing extra damage!.

Mendo will sell an extra weaker piece of armor, for a cheap price. You will also be able to change your armor, if that's something you're interested in doing!

Minigames

There will be a few minigames you can find across Animatronica, the first being DeeDee's fishing game!

Aim for the pearl and cast your rod!

This works like the original, but I'm thinking of adding something new to change things up a bit.

(more minigames will be added later!)

Side Quests

Rather than party members being a random grind, you'll be able to find them all over the overworld, with either a quest or a battle to complete, complete them, and you'll get that character to join your team!

General development update

The original 40 characters are finished, I'll begin to work on the update 2 characters soon, and then the newcomers!

The first area of the game is also finished, and I'm working on the second and third areas now! I'm not sure how many areas will be in the game in total, but expect the the original game's areas plus a few more!

It's been a lot of fun working on the game, I'm really excited to show you all more!

Speaking of which, I will be showing off a special reveal around 12 AM MST! So please look forward to that!!

See you all on the flipside!
