Ponpai Update 9 - Murder Mystery!


Hello! Hope you're doing well. The last update was vaguely Halloween themed, so this update is vaguely Christmas themed. And you know what that means: Murder! And fast food.

  • The game now has a tutorial! When talking to the Pendle in your apartment, you can either select the tutorial, or a basic fight per usual!
  • A brand new sidequest is available in the coast! Head to the library and help the world class detective Keylock solve a murder!
  • New ponpai!
    • Meltrode, living microwaves that cook their own meals!
    • Snowfloat, tiny fellas that fly with their snowflake-like propellers!
    • Temple Naxa, vine creatures that construct large fortresses to protect themselves!
    • Censeargull, prudish birds who don't want you to see that FILTHY imagery!
    • Litereen, beings from another planet sent to collect all manners of literature!
    • Finally, Holideer, here to bring in the holiday spirit!
  • The McShwimbles Medium and Large Meals are available! As well as some Tomato Sus, which increases your evasion! Go get them from the newly-built McShwimbles restaurant!
  • There's now a paint tool in the 00000000 art creator! Using it will automatically draw underneath the outlines! Note that the eraser will delete both layers at the same time. Also, each art tool has its own sprite!
  • A few more NPCs are scattered about! Go talk to them if you don't recognise them!
  • Fixed an issue where clicking an item in battle that's physically above a ponpai would feed it to them immediately. Also, once you've chosen an item, it will follow your cursor until you use it!
  • I changed how the areas are loaded in, to prevent the game from lagging. The load times are increased, but there should be no more stuttering! c:

I hope you enjoy! Happy holidays!
