I made a poll on Twitter and another in Discord for which monster's true form I should reveal next. My plan was to make the winner's event next, but Dot won on Twitter and Chionotoh won in Discord. To make it worse (for me), when I added all the votes together they tied exactly, with the last vote coming in with less than 1 minute left! So, I'm revealing both of them! Dot got her event, and Chionotoh shows up somewhere else for now.

The other major change is that I've increased the medal goals for Altered Story mode. It was brought to my attention that they haven't been updated since before several rebalances that have made the old goals easier to reach. The big 8.0 Towers update increased the average score from most common bosses. It also added Bounty gifts that were designed to increase score. (Although Bounties replaced an old mechanic where all special monsters gave out 25% more score by default.) Many of the new events can give out tetrid bonus gifts which also add to your score.

I don't see any new mechanics being added to change scores anymore, so hopefully this is the last time goals need to be adjusted. But as I always try to do, if you already had a radiant medal, then your score will be updated to match the new goal and you will keep your radiant medal.

Early Access updated game version to v8.18a

• 1 new event to discover (Total: 58)
  
• 3 new dreams to fulfill (Total: 733)

• Increased the score goals for medals in Altered Story. You will keep all your radiant medals, but other medals may have shifted.
  
• Dreams for story events are divided into a few more sub categories
  
• The 3 dreams for clearing story paths on Heavy Rain can now also unlock on Torrent Rain
  
• The game will always remember the last Tower you've selected during the session

• Alter Glacia's story dream did not increment at all since the previous update

Before I got to write out these patch notes for 8.18, another bug was reported and fixed

• Bug Fix: Split Veyeral's event would soft lock when a specific minigame was chosen
  
• Bonding time events will now end with an error message instead of soft locking if a similar type of bug is found later

6 more bosses coming up in this order

• Shamble Tower Boss
  
• Guardian Tower Boss
  
• Glyph Tower Boss
  
• Zaramech Tower Boss
  
• Glass Flora Tower Boss
  
• Veyeral Tower Boss

13 events (not in order)

• Sandrome
  
• Voladrome
  
• Shanx
  
• Dendrohai
  
• Lavalin
  
• Chionotoh
  
• Ventra
  
• Storm Veyeral
  
• Molten Veyeral
  
• Blizzard Veyeral
  
• Towers: event similar to free gift event
  
• Towers: event where you can choose to remove a burden
  
• Endless Stress: shiny battle event

I'm still in events mode right now so expect another one in the next update. I am aiming for January 10th for the next one.

Thank you for playing!
