Is it me or do my clothes suddenly look shinier? -Monika

IMPORTANT: Persistent files from this and subsequent versions will not be compatible with older versions of MAS.

Gameplay Changes

  • Leaning pose has been redesigned so Monika's hand doesn't look weird.

  • Jawline has been smoothed out in both upright and leaning poses.

  • Blazer (Uniform) sprites have been cleaned up and redone.

  • Hair sprites have been cleaned up and partially redone.

  • Facial expression sprites for upright poses have been cleaned up.

  • Arm sprites that were not used in game have been removed.

  • Arms are now rendered after facial expressions.

  • Text speed is now controllable. Monika will bring up the specific topic to enable it.

  • Random chatter wait time has been changed and includes more options. Changing random chatter frequency will take affect sooner. NOTE: We are testing the random chatter timing and will be revising them next release. We have a poll on our discord server about this.

  • There is no longer a limit on the number of random topics Monika will say each day.

  • Because of file generation issues, the "Take You Somewhere" farewell has been disabled on Macs. We are testing a fix for this and will likely have it out next release.

  • Added 4 new horror stories

  • Added the often requested BRB topic, as well as an "I'm playing a game" topic. These are the first topics to use the idle framework.

API Changes

Data Migration

  • Data migrations are reversible within reason, but zz_dm is a required file for anything to work.

Events

Changes

  • Short stories can now use the pool property to determine if it should be selectable or not.

Sprites

  • mas_disableTextSpeed - disables text speed
  • mas_resetTextSpeed - enables/disables text speed based on environmental factors

New Globals (mas_globals)

  • in_idle_mode - replaces mas_in_idle_mode
  • text_speed_enabled - True if text speed enabled, False if not

Other
