Main menu done. Well, kinda? For now? I guess? Until I get dissatisfied with it again?
Added Chat, Autodox, very minor player customization, fullscreen settings and reworked match creation so you can dick around in main menu while waiting for players

Increased player limit to 16 for science
Look at this huge ass map! There are even duplicate gyms, because it spawns 1 per player + 1 more but there are only 10 types
Dare I keep doubling until it crashes? Are 1024 player matches the future of gaming?

Adding that thingamajig I was talking about - the game will only show relevant types by default, but you can see all types for reference if you wish. There will be a button to lock this view as well, if you prefer it

UI rework, clearly WIP. Major changes here: choosing Automons now looks cooler on both sides, and the type table doesn't show up unless you have an active bonus. There will be a way to expand it to always show all types, in case you want to preview bonuses you don't have

MASSIVE changes to the Automon Arena experience: buttons are now pretty and clicky AND there's a quit button instead of pressing R like you're debugging your first project. If that doesn't get you to wishlist, I don't know what will

Added map scrolling through mouse dragging, which pushes Automon Arena into Game of the Year territory.
Oh also added more holes to the map, it's a bit more patchy with players having more room to dick around before getting kicked out to harder areas

Messing around with world generation, here's a few examples.
It's quite chaotic and absolutely not even in terms of accessible areas and gyms around each player, but that's ok. As a wise man once said, "balance is for wieners"

Spent some time redoing the map generation to be less... circular. Here's the outcome and old map example for comparison.
Looks less neat, but more natural

Got the attention span of a child with ADHD using TikTok after drinking 5 coffees and snorting cocaine? You can speed up the battles and spend more time staring at the map screen instead! Or just press skip and miss the whole thing if you like

Though items are not yet implemented in Automon Arena, I added Stranglie and Boulken anyway, with temporary replacement abilities. Swole type just wasn't the same without them
(No idea what I'll do with Adyel & Nodyel though)
