Greetings, the inhabitants of our little forest!
This update brings minor improvements and fixes.
The merchant’s store will become more useful and attractive to players. This should give more value to cards giving gold.
The hero will level up more often during the game. This will give players more opportunities to change their starting deck.
Changes in the growth of the opponents difficulty. Now the difficulty of the battles should create a better experience for the players, but at the same time remain interesting enough.
Changes in version 1.05:

Performance improvement
The number of cards in the merchant's store has been increased to 6.
Now in the merchant's store you can refresh his stocks 1 time.
The experience curve has changed. Now at the beginning of the game the level increase will occur a little less often. But the difference between the required amount of experience for the next level is significantly reduced. Thus, the level increase during the game will occur more often. For comparison, now the player will be able to reach level 20 when starting a new campaign 3 times faster.
Increasing the level gives less bonus health points and restores 5% less health.
Corrections in the growth curve of the foes difficulty. Due to a bug, foes used to get too strong too fast. This created a negative experience for the players.
What's next?

In the next update I want to completely review the combos and synergies of cards. It will be a big update.
We also plan to make a number of visual improvements to cards and indicators of the abilities of foes.

We're finally releasing the game! Almost a year we worked hard making this game. It was a very difficult year.

Greetings, the inhabitants of our little forest!
This update focuses on the bugfix and balance of the game.
The balance of progression of complexity has undergone very strong changes. It is highly recommended that you start a new campaign.

Bugfix:

Fixed a bug of the effect of stunning or causing damage by combo ability to an already defeated enemy.
Fixed a bug due to which the player sometimes could get 2 times more cards at the beginning of the turn.
Fixed a bug due to which the player’s turn automatically ended ahead of time when drawing new cards with an empty hand.
Fixed a bug leading to the crash of the game when playing several cards in a row very fast.
Fixed a bug of items affecting the maximum value of health points. Previously, they were allowed to restore health or completely lose it to 0.

Fixed a bug of the missing avatar of the baron of the west in the dialogue after defeating him.
Fixed a bug of the trait of foes to cause damage, depending on the remaining health of the foe. Previously, it caused damage depending on lost health, which led to unpleasant situations for players. Like sudden defeat.
Fixed layout for one of the routes in the western region.
Fixed a bug leading to blurry phrases of foes in battles.
Character development:

Reduced penalty for rerolling a pool of cards for replacement on lvlup. Penalty reduced from 2 to 1. This increases the overall selection of cards from 6 to 10.
The amount of experience required to increase the level is increased. But the difference between the required amount of experience between levels is significantly reduced. In general, the level increase should occur less often at the beginning of the game, but more often in the middle and end game compared to the previous settings.
Removed the level cap of the hero.
Changed the number of bonus max HP for each level of the hero. Each new level gives a fixed value - 2 max. HP. In general, players will receive significantly less growth of max Hp from leveling up.
The battle:

The distribution of foes in battles has been changed. In difficult battles, there are always 3 opponents. There are always 2 opponents in normal battles.
For casual game mode, the number of foes in battles will be 1 less than in normal mode.
The health gain of opponents, depending on the level of threat, is reduced by 30%.

The “Legacy” card has been greatly reworked. Received gold reduced from 500 to 100. When played, you no longer get rid of the card, but convert it to energy. Energy cost increased from 0 to 1.
The cards "Exhaustion" and "Wound" have changed their effects. Now the “Wound” card can be played to get rid of it. “Wound” card energy cost increased from 0 to 1.
The number of initially unlocked cards is significantly increased.

Corrections for the icons of some foes abilities.
Fixed a bug due to which the help of the Baron of the East did not work correctly in the battle with the Mad King.

Greetings, the inhabitants of our little forest!
In this update, we focused on improvements related to foes and cards. Reworking traits of foes should give more personality to regions and foes. Players can now play more cards per turn without fear of being on the next turn without cards. Improved readability of cards.
Changes in version 0.532.
Cards:

Minimum draw of cards increased from 2 to 4. This change will allow players to play more cards during the turn.
Updated the cards draw tutorial.
Added color indication for numbers on cards. Each type of number has its own color. This should facilitate readability of cards.
Improved the presentation of cards and tooltips. This has led to increased readability of text on cards and tooltips. Text now is more crisp.
Fixed cases when the text of the cards went beyond the edges of the text area.
Foes:

Reworked traits of foes. Again. Now traits are determined by regions. In the western region, the enemy uses traits with time delay. In the northern region, traits are activated when dealing damage, but have a chance of failure. In the eastern region, all traits are built on the principle of reactions to player actions. In the central region, a mix of different types of traits.
Almost all the names of the traits were renamed to improve the player's associative memorization.
Traits have been redesigned to support the modular structure. Now they have the effect and type of activation indicated. The effect can be used in different regions, while the type of activation is strictly linked to the region.
Updated icons for traits. Icons indicate the effect. If the effect has different types of activation within the same region, then the icons of such effect will differ, but indicated with the same color.
Added new types of reactions. Reaction to the healing of a player and to the defeat of another foe.
Campaign:

Difficulty levels renamed.
What to expect in the following weekly updates:

Keywords for cards. Already in the work. This will reduce the amount of text and make it easier to remember cards and effects.
New cards. Art is ready, it's up to me now to add them to the game.
New items.
Improving the visual style of items.

Greetings, the inhabitants of our little forest!
We are happy to finally introduce you a new region. Now you can go to the eastern region. A new baron will be waiting for you there, very different from others in both story and behavior.
We also decided to remove the southern region. Initially, we planned that the game would be ... simpler. But now there is a lot of everything in it and, as you may have noticed, adding a new region turned out to be a very time consuming task. In addition, it increases the amount of maintenance work with new new features added and changes to old.
Generally I don’t think adding another region will make the game better. Bigger, for sure. But instead, we would like to focus on improving the depth and quality of existing content.
Changes in version 0.501.
Campaign:

New region. Noble samurais, cunning ninjas and many others are waiting for you there =)
Changed the internal logic for generating and storing missions for regions. After the update, the progress of the current player’s mission will be lost. But the global progress of the campaign will remain.
Regions:

Special background for missions in the eastern region.
6 unique routes for the eastern region.
Foes:

11 new foes. Each with its own story and personality.
64 new character lines for opponents from the eastern region.
The new baron, ruling the eastern region - Asako-san. She has her own dialogue when a player wins. And special behavior if she comes to the aid of the player in the battle with the king.
A special card for the execution of the baron of the east is the Baron’s shadow. A new mechanic was added - copying the effect of the last played card in battle. It is a unique mechanic added specially for this card.
A new trait for the foes: shadow master. So far, only the baron of the east possesses it. The shadow master can summon shadow clones to confuse the player and avoid damage. Shadow clones disappear upon taking any damage.
Fixed a bug that did not allow to interrupt the reaction traits.
A new type of reaction for foes is a reaction to playing several cards in a row.
Changed the logic for interrupting phrases of foes. The first press of any key completes the phrase completely. Pressing any key again closes it.
The design of the baron of the western region has been updated. Now he looks more stylish.
Traits for the foes are regrouped.
Preparations have begun for a global change for the traits of foes. In the future, they will be built on the basis of “if-then” blocks. This will simplify the creation of new traits and increase variability.
Updated baron icons in dialogs after a player wins.
Cards:

Updated art for existing cards for the barons and the king.
Updated campaign map. Removed the southern region. Changed icons of bosses for regions.
Battle:

Updated scale for battle backgrounds in the northern region.
Adaptation of the placement of foes in the battle with the king. There may be an unusually large number of foes.
What to expect in the following weekly updates:

Next week I plan to fundamentally redo the traits of foes. Again =) This should give each existing region more personality.
New cards with new mechanics. Already in the work.

Greetings, the inhabitants of our little forest!
This update focuses on the consequences of victories over the barons and the behavior of the king. Now, the decision to execute or spare the baron has tangible consequences. You either get a unique baron card or he comes to your aid in the battle with the king. The king, in turn, has become much more dangerous. But if you managed to restore order in the regions then the battle with the king should become much easier.
Unfortunately, I have not had time to add a dialogue of victory over the king and plot endings in this update. But I think next week it should definitely be completed.
Changes in version 0.315.
The battle:

When the baron is executed, you get a special card in your deck that you can add to the main deck of the campaign if you wish. The baron’s card is unique - it cannot be obtained in any other way in the game. The baron’s card should be useful in normal battles and extremely useful in battle with the king.
If you spared the baron, then he comes to the rescue in the battle with the king. Each baron helps in his own way, but does not participate directly in the battle.
Added a window of phrases for barons and special phrases when they enter the battle with the king. Added phrases for the king to reply to barons.
The king learned to call his guards to help. The call for the guards occurs at some intervals. The call for the guards is NOT endless and can be prevented.
The king learned to summon undefeated barons to his aid.
In the battle with the king, the escalation of the battle is disabled.
Added display of extracting cards from the player’s deck in battle. This is mostly for the situation when the cards in the deck are disposed, for example, negative effects.
Cards:

Added mechanics for disposing all temporary effect cards from the deck and discard.
Added mechanics for getting wound cards during a play. This mechanic will be an alternative to energy, payment with a gold or loss of health as a mandatory part of a card effect activation.
Interface:

Fixed display of the game for different aspects of the screens.
What to expect in the following weekly updates:

Eastern region. Already in the work.
Different options for the game ending. The dialogue with the king after the victory.
New cards with new mechanics.
New items with new features.

In this update, we again focused on the plot of the game. Now you can talk with the defeated barons and find out a little more about them... before deciding their fate.
We are also actively working on adding the last two regions to the game. Unlike the previous regions that we formed gradually, we want to release these ready at once. Because of this, the amount of changes in weekly updates for players may seem small.
Changes in version 0.301.
Campaign Map:

In each region, the icon of the corresponding boss is displayed.
Opponents:

Regulation of the duration of phrases of opponents in the game settings window.
Reworked counting the duration of phrases of opponents.
The plot:

Many corrections in the texts.
New music theme for intro. We replaced the old music theme with a more suitable one in terms of dynamics.
The dialog window after victory over the barons. After winning, you can talk with the baron before making a decision. Decisions became more plotted, as did their consequences. Unfortunately, the mechanism of the consequences of these decisions has not yet been implemented. It will be in the next update. A similar mechanism will be added after the victory over the king. But only after all 4 barons appear in the game and their storylines are finally presented.

This update adds to the game the long-awaited story entry at the start of a new campaign. A new type of traits for foes appeared - reaction. Reactions should make the battle more interactive. And we added 6 new routes for regions.
Also we posted our roadmap. Check it out.
Changes in version 0.281.
The plot:

Added story intro at the start of the campaign. So far, temporary music has been used during the intro.
Foe:

Foes have a new type of trait: reaction. Reaction triggers under certain conditions during the player’s turn.
Before activating the reaction, the foe will say something, indicating activation.
Added trait: Fast Reflexes. If the foe was damaged several times per turn (the number of times depends on the level of the trait), then the foe immediately makes a response attack without waiting for they turn.
Added trait: Alarmed. If the foe was damaged several times per turn (the number of times depends on the level of the trait), then the foe will completely ignore the next incoming damage.
Added trait: Agile. Reduces incoming damage 2 times until foe is dealt damage several times per turn (the number of times depends on the level of the trait).
Added trait: Spiky. Returns % of the first incoming damage during your turn (the number of depends on the trait level).
Reorganization of icons for traits. Now the icons display the type of trait, and are not tied to any particular trait.
The tooltip of a trait shows its level.

Region map

Greetings, the inhabitants of our little forest!
This update is fully focused on expanding content and adding new characters to the game. And as a result - the expansion of the story in the game.
In addition, the characters have new mechanics, and the player has new cards. However, it is unlikely that you will be delighted to find these cards in your deck =)
Changes in version 0.255.
Opponents:

Added 5 new characters for the North region.
Added 3 new characters for the West region.
Added 11 new characters for the Center region.
Now almost all the characters are strictly attached to their regions and are united by different plot lines within these regions. However, there remain several characters wandering around the regions. This is due to their plot lines.
Added 84 phrases for new characters. At the moment, 201 phrases are written in the game. Because the source of all troubles is in the royal castle, it is logical that some characters in the castle can shed light on many plot events in the game. Can you gather all the pieces of the puzzle?
Added a new trait - Warlock. Characters with this trait can add Exhaustion cards to a player discard if not stopped.
Added a new trait - Injuring. Characters with this trait can add ranged cards to a player's discard when dealing damage.
Reorganized character abilities. Now the number of abilities for each character is determined by its level of difficulty. Normal opponents have only 1 trait, hard ones have 2, Barons have more. How many traits have the Mad King - no one knows =) The traits are thematically combined to better match the character’s image.
Fixed description of the Eared trait.
Cards:

New card: Exhaustion - effect, temporary, cannot be converted into energy. To get rid of it you need to play this card.
New card: Wound - effect, temporary, cannot be converted into energy.
New mechanics of temporary cards. Temporary cards are in your deck only until the end of the battle. In the future, it is planned to use this mechanics for cards that also benefit the player.
Interface:

Added menu button for the region and battle screen.
What to expect in the following weekly updates:

Plot. The victory over the barons will become more ... significant =)
A smoother introduction to the game world at the beginning.
New traits for the opponents. Rework for some old ones.
New cards with new mechanics.
New items with new features.
New routes in the regions.

Greetings, the inhabitants of our little forest!
We are returning from a holiday vacation. This update is quite small, but it affects one of the fundamental systems - experience. I thoroughly redid the experience system, as I promised earlier. The goal is very simple - to make gaining experience more meaningful, directly correlating with the actions of the player. If everything works out as intended, then the speed of character development (i.e., character skills) will directly depend on the speed of development of your skills as a player =)
We added our first achievement - Early Bird. It will be available ONLY in early access and is intended for people who believed in us and supported the game while it was in early access. To get an achievement, just enter the game and join the battle.
Thus, you will officially become one of the first to oppose the Mad King =)

The fight:

Experience is now awarded only for playing cards. On each card is written how much experience it will give. If a card is played with an active combo effect, the experience gained for it increases.
When you gain experience, you will see a pop-up inscription above the portrait of the character indicating how much experience you just got.
At the end of the battle, you can study detailed information on how much experience you received from which source.
Fixed a bug when sometimes a card was flickering in the middle of the screen at the beginning of the battle. The bug was not regular and difficult to reproduce, so for a long time I could not understand what the problem was.
Added notification of the battle escalation .
A bug was fixed when the battle escalation began 2 rounds earlier than it should.
Upon entering the battle, you will receive the Early Bird achievement. This achievement can only be obtained while the game is in early access.
Character development:

The amount of experience required to increase the level is greatly reduced.
What to expect in the following weekly updates:

Plot. The victory over the barons will become more ... significant =)
A smoother introduction to the game setting and story at the beginning.
New characters for the northern and central regions. Lots of new characters.
New character abilities. Many new abilities. There is an idea to convey the personality of the enemy through their abilities. And also make ability sets specific only to specific regions.
