KotM: Imitation Game

2D city stomping!
This is a personal game l've worked on for years based on King of the Monsters 2, but with a greater focus on the destruction of the city. lt started out simple, and in a way it still is, but has since gained a wide array of over three dozen monsters, two full cities, a Starbound randomizer of the tiny village sub-biome, and a sandbox recreation of the Yoshi's Island final boss. After adding all that l've added, l figured it must be worthwhile for at least a few other people. I hope this fits someone's niche interests in 2D giant monsters.Public release r304:
-Added more prey to the Rampage-inspired area, as well as added a category system.
-I forgot everything else I did, lol.
Not really accepting bug reports, as most everything is done intentionally and what's unintentional l find sooner or later. That being said…
Known issues:
-No audio. The engine l use will crash if too many sounds are played at once if it's not running on XP, and l sure ain't porting this giant mess somewhere else!
-UI doesn't scale when zooming out. I learned how to fix this, l just need to implement it to every single piece of text.
-Helicopter collision with buildings is kinda funky. lt's a result of the implementation, it only collides with the nearest building. Kinda too far in to think of a better method, and l can't really be bothered to care to think of a better method because the focus is giant monsters.
-Starbound village randomizer isn't fully complete. l plan on adding the rest of the buildings and making the randomness more organic later.
-Nothing happens when Y.I. Bowser reaches his goal other than a silent stat increase. I need to think of a way to remove backgrounds nicely.
-There are four versions of Bowser and three of them are from Mario & Luigi games. l just really like Bowser, those sprites in particular.

This fangame hides a certain pair of buildings from KotM2 by default. lf you dislike censorship, remove the NY=1 from the main INI file.
System requirement info:
Tested on an AMD A8-6500 of 3.5GHz. Seems to be just enough to get a consistent full speed with minor background processes, considering my previous slightly-weaker computer would drop frames when the game engine does its random CPU-spike.
Uses around 400MB of RAM.
Uses at most 200MB of VRAM.
lt's just a sprite game, but it does use about 900 graphics (some of which are huge), plus the cities contain over 2,000-3,500 destroyable objects. Good thing l added some instance optimization!
Monster sprite credits are in the in-game monster select menu (End key). The rest of the credits can be found in either the readme or F1 menu.
