Monkey doesn't work for me, unfortunately I installed it according to the guidelines and it still won't turn on. I have Windows 11 on another laptop and it works. Maybe I'm doing something wrong and I don't see it...
I am having the same issue. Will post here if Thora can help me.

Thora very graciously worked with me on this for the last couple of hours. What ended up working for me was to follow all the current instructions and then restart my PC.

Thank you Thora for your help and your patience!

The installation was essentially correct (on a separate drive). BepInEx was not loading and failing silently. This is an open source framework allowing Monkey to attach to the Unity process. Without it, nothing will work.

While a reboot 'fixed' it, we were unable to identify the root cause unfortunately.

The most common issues of 'Monkey doesn't work' have been:
- Incorrect versions
- Files in the wrong place
- Non-ascii characters in install or document path (breaks Bep)
- A/V or smart screen blocks
- Incompatible plugins
- Etc.

I'll update the documentation to include a 'reboot' step. In this process I did setup a test instance of Windows 11/pro just in case and found no issues in both native and sandbox.

100% of 'Monkey doesn't work' I've investigated last year were user side setup. So please before asking for help try to follow the install instructions to the letter. If stumped, post here or pm me, and I'll do my best to help out.

I'm trying to figure out how "grabbing" works. It seems that I can sometimes grab clothing and other times it just doesn't want to follow the command. How does grabbing work? I feel like I have to try 100 times before it works.

Any news on next update?
Or roadmap in general?
Nothing on Patreon yet. Does anyone have a link to the Discord? The one on Patreon is not working.

Updates have typically been monthly, but the last update took 2 months ~10 days. If the previous cadence is followed, we will have an update within two weeks.

Bump for my favorite game on this site.

While I still find the lack of public communication unacceptable, he does put in a lot of code each release.

I don't have any direct insight into the release date or content, but he told me a while back he was working on something 'big' and is aware he can't go too long without shipping something.

Based on his few Patreon posts, this could be anything from revamped gameplay to VR. Or we get a 'fall back' release with minor improvements because whatever things he tried didn't pan out. We can run a poll... your guesses are as good as mine.

I plan to release a new version of Monkey about a week after game release. This of course will depend on how many things broke. So far the release contains several bug fixes, improvement for custom scenes lighting and keys will no longer activate Monkey when you are in a modal popup (like save).
