It has been a long sprint to the finish line for the first playable iteration of Monster Express, but here we are! The game runs from start to end, with a current run time of approximately 15 minutes. It only has one ending so far, and a few minor bugs, but the point of this initial release is to commemorate this milestone and learn more about public opinion on the potential of the game so far.

Please feel free to comment on what you like about the game, as well as what you would like to see in future updates! Current changes planned: - Edits to the "Dragon Ending": bug fixes for the sandwich and sleepy boar
- Completion of the "Giant Ending" and the "Super Slime" ending: the dialogue has already been written for both! - Minor UI fixes: splitting the inventory and character profile bars for visual appeal and space
- Convenience fixes: fixing the skip feature, which has been disabled for 0.9, and improving the pause menu
These are the main focuses for the next period of work, however there are plenty more new features that I would love to add once the important fixes are out of the way, including achievements and extra character dialogue when items (or perhaps character profiles themselves) are used on certain monsters!
Thank you so much for your support, and stay tuned!
