Hi there,
There are a few reasons I decided to take the old version down. The main ones are:
- rules tweaks and changes are being made, so if new players got the old book they'd already be playing an outdated version of the game and have to switch once the new version is available
- some of the original illustrations could not be used in the newly published version, so are being replaced
I do apologise for the delay, but the new version should be dropping within a couple of weeks, so there's not long to wait
Hi there,
The Kickstarter is specifically to fund the physical printed copy of the game, so that's the main difference. There may also be various updates made to the game before it is printed, and any updates made will also be applied to the itch files. So wherever you buy, you'll always have the latest version of the game.
Hi there, yes ultimately Animon Story commits to one monster partner for the benefit of developing the kid-monster bond and how that ties into the narrative. If you wanted to introduce multiple monster companions in this game, I think the easiest way to do it would be still having one at a time, and switching that one around, rather than having a team of them.
Hi there, so glad you like the game! Yes indeed, plans for a physical version have moved forward, and it's now confirmed that a physical version will be kickstarted next year. You can check out a bit more on this news on the animon story blog here:

Cheers!
I would say the ideal group would be 1 GM and 3-5 players, but stretching a little beyond that in either direction wouldn't be a problem.
Even during Combat Encounters, the only part of the game broken down into 'turns,' things move quite quickly as the combat scenes are designed to be more narrative and less crunchy/tactical.
