Essentials

. Added the following characters: 

  - SpaceGodzilla
 - Monsterverse Ghidorah
 - Monsterverse Godzilla
 - Monsterverse Mothra
 - Titanosaur
 - Mechagodzilla II
 - Mechani-Kong
 - Methuselah
 - Scylla
 - Warbat

. Revamped team system - Arcade mode: 

 - the "solo team" and "solo joint" Arcade modes have been removed. Instead, ally monsters can be recruited into your team, either in the primary pool or the secondary pool. How many you can recruit is determined by the difference in power between the selected player character and the selected opponent monster. You can recruit any monster up to 1 rank point above your selected character's rank, but not higher. Rank 5.2 and above cannot be recruited.

 - a challenge mode is included if there is a preference to fight multiple enemy monsters in any given match.

. Added progression system:

 - game will initially start off with four selectable monsters and a couple enemy monsters available to fight against. All other monsters must be unlocked as playables or opponents using in-game currency that you earn after winning matches and completing an Arcade run.

 - added a rank system where the higher level enemy monsters and a few Arcade mode options only become available as you level up. 

 - fair warning: the file used for saving progress is called "user_shp_dsk_dat" and can be found in the "C:\Users\[USER NAME]\AppData\Local\_Gom" folder. You are advised to create a backup of this file from time to time to avoid any instance of losing game progress.

. Added auto-saving in Arcade mode to save progress, and option to continue where you left off.

. Added Spectate mode.

Gameplay

. Added Guard points that limit all characters' ability to guard. Guard points are used when taking damage while blocking. Once the     guard meter is depleted, the character cannot block. The meter regenerates somewhat quickly but freezes if depleted, picking up only after a couple of seconds. Characters with the "armored skin" attribute can still block with relative impunity.

. Refined strength-resistance indicators to convey player monster's overall strength against target monster's resistance more effectively during in-match gameplay.

. High-resistance monsters no longer get stun-locked by a relatively lower-strength monster's knock-down attacks.

. Classic Moguera can now perform a full range of crouching behaviors.

. Added performance optimizations for a few characters.

. AI can now perform shielding action (MG I/II, Biollante, SpaceGodzilla etc.).

Moving forward

Certain items to keep in mind with respect to development moving forward:

. There won't be anymore in-between progress updates as has been happening throughout the game's development up to this point, unless a specific decision has been made to post one. All updates will typically only be posted once there is something tangible (patches in particular).

. Some characters will only be available as DLC content that must be bought separately, while others may be added to the base game for free. What the split will look like is undetermined at this time. What characters will be added in a subsequent update will not be disclosed right now. 

. Priority right now is on updating the Android port on Google Playstore, and moving to an iOS port on the Appstore after that.

As this is a beta version, there will likely be a couple of bugs  and/or crashes - these will be addressed as they are discovered, so be sure to report any odd behaviors if you find them, and if you want to help speed up the debugging process for subsequent patches.

As always, anything is subject to change at anytime.
