New QoL feature I made for #MonsterTrain2!

I modded in a kill count indicator that displays on any Slay trigger. This makes it easier to track whether your units are actually getting kills, especially for Relentless combat where it is hard to calculate.

Wrapping up an MT1 custom event port in MT2! Showing off a ported card (w/ Animations & SFX) and triggering the follow-up.

Fun technical challenge — merging an Ink knot into a compiled Ink script ended up taking about ~100 LoC.

Also if you want to get into Monster Train 2 modding. I am one of the contributors of the new modding framework.

It doesn't require any programming knowledge to mod MT2, just a small setup. You will learn how the game organizes itself.

Modding is done using json.

More Modded Content!

I bought back Discipled Inquisitor everyone's favorite miniboss from MT1.

The animations had to be updated from MT1, but works for the most part.

I'd definitely be interested in bringing back all of the minibosses as champions for a mod.

Modding for Monster Train 2 underway!

I whipped up a new status effect, Smirk. Inspired by SMT IV

+5 attack per stack, and enables "bonus effects". Decreases when attacking.

Here I gave a Strike effect, If when attacking you have Smirk apply Dazed.

Ahh yes, the RPG equivalent of someone else adjusting the thermostat w/o permission.

Nothing pisses me off more than when a boss the ability to 100% remove your buffs or remove their debuffs.

You can heal. You can buff yourself. You can debuff me. Just don't clear them all at once you asshole! 🤬

Apple crisp I made last week served a la mode. Sorry for scooping skills. 😂

Apple crisp made with a brown sugar, cinnamon, pecan topping with oats.

Used Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and tossed in a single McIntosh.

If you liked the Titanite Sentry. Here's a new MONSTROUSITY I've created.

Reanimating Legion of Wax

It'd be OP if each Reanimate triggered Extinguish each time it dies.

I would think not, but for now I assume it does.

Man Rocko's Modern Life was soooo good, one of the best 90s cartoons. So relatable even with the CHOIP-ing birds.

Anyway Bluetooth Sleep Mask time

Man birds be chirping LOUD at 2:30 am. I don't remember having this issue this time of year.

I know y'all male birds trying to attract females or whatever but I assure they are sleeping they need their beauty rest.

😂

oh Professor Noname I'm sorry you missed the first Monster Train, but here you can have the first super express ride on the second Monster Train.

With all the new features I'll do an MT2 Clan version once the game releases / official modding support.
