Hey,
For the past 2 months I been reworking the game and I am finally ready to share.

New Cards - all cards have been reworked. There will be base cards that are always in play does not matter which character you are using (~50 cards), and each character will bring additional cards to the play (30+ cards). In the current version there will only be base cards, but Butcher cards will be added soon.
New Relics - 31 total relics, only 8 are old, other are new. Changed that you can get some relics only in the market, or only after the fight.
Every level got visual upgrade, no more tiles flying in space.
UI visual changes, for better readability.
New card type Monuments - when placed card is not discarded, so each card can only build one Monument, which usually has passive ability, similar to relic.
New resources added and some removed.
New cards and relics are now locked with Packs, which can be unlocked with Stars. Each Pack contains 4-5 cards/relics.
Game is faster, now instead of 50 days, you will only have 40, but the enemy cost is lower.
Game has saving. You can resume game from where you left off.
Cloud saves work correctly.
Added Loading Screen.
Please try the game and share your thoughts either on Discord or F12 in game or here in the forums.
Have fun playing!

What's new:

New relic - Extra Grain - At the start of each fight gain 1 extra day for every 5 cards in your deck. Great way to get extra turns by having a bigger deck.
New relic - Knitting kit - Whenever you play 4 cards a turn draw an additional card next turn. Support for the lower costs cards and a great combo if you increased your max energy.
Added a feedback form in the end of each run, for you to share your thoughts.
Visual improvements and bug fixes.
I will be starting closed testing of the other two characters soon, so if you want to participate in it please join here: Email subscription

Hey,
Another update for the demo is here!
What's new:

New relic - Hunting tools - Each time a deck is shuffled produce either Labor or Weapons. Most difficult to get resources are given for free every few turns. And if your deck is small or you draw lots of cards this becomes very strong.
New relic - Sacred Bones - Get an Energy for every building of yours destroyed. This makes cards like Ruins and Scavengers Guild just amazing. It helps with the last turns when you try to survive for the last energy production bearable and move a lot faster.
New relic - Bottomless Horn - Every 3rd turn you get a free Gem. No downside to it, just more plays.
New card - Orchard - a 2 cost card producing food and wood most common resources so a great fit to any deck. But in addition produces Labor for each card drawn this turn. So if your deck has lost of "draw a card" cards this is a perfect fit.
Lucky Energy Relics got improved, now gives extra Energy not only for the exactly 7 but for 3 and 12 production too.
Cards got nerfed: Carpenter, Charcoal kiln and Quarry.
Cards got buffed: Manor, Pike Maker, Ruins and Weapon Recycler.
Card UI fixes, now rarer cards have visuals. Card description got bigger so text should be easier to read. Faster appearing resource conversions near the card.
Mountain Village and Snow Stronghold got easier, especially Snow Stronghold was too hard.
Visual improvements and bug fixes.
Again as always, thank you all who report the bugs and talk about improving the game.

Hey,
Seekers of Eclipse is now participating in the Tiny Teams Fest. Please Wishlist our game!
With it another update for the demo is here!
What's new:

New relic - Metals Delivery - Each turn gain stone, metal or weapon resource. This relic should help you out with buildings requiring these resource at the start and even if you haven't taken those buildings in a longer game it should help you out with energy production.
New card - Wheat Field - a 0 cost building that produces nothing at the start but each turn it plants a field if there are empty spaces around which produces food. So good placement is especially important.
New card - Sculptor - When placed creates a rock sculpture in an adjacent space, which acts as a rock for other building adjacency. This is a huge help for coal mine and quarry as it lets you create your own rocks.
Star unlocks got cheaper as not many people unlocked them.
Language fixes as not every letter was supported by the font we used.
Visual improvements and bug fixes.

Hey,
Another update for the demo is here!
What's new:

New relic - Luck Pendant - Upgrades random card in hand at the start of each turn. Great boost for longer fights and makes upgrading in camp and in market less needed, but randomness of it can sometimes not give the upgrade that you wanted.
All of card balance got reworked. Most of the cards still have the same purpose but values are different.
A new resource - Lumber - Mostly created from wood so now there is a way to convert wood to energy better.
10 new cards:
Library - Converts wood and food to labor. When played draw 2 cards.
Smithy - Converts iron to weapons. When played draw 1 cards.
Carpenter - Converts wood to lumber. When played get a random building card which costs 0 this turn.
Garden - Produces food. Increases max energy from food by 1.
Bakery - Produces cooked food. Increases max energy from cooked food by 1.
Sawmill - Converts wood to lumber. On turn whenever you play a card it produces an additional lumber.
Coopers - Converts wood and coal to lumber.
Woodcarvers - Converts wood and food to lumber.
Pike Maker - Converts lumber to Weapons. When played pick a card in discard to be placed on top of your deck.

Hey,

What's new:

New relic - Shiny Rocks - Clearing fog where are rocks costs 0 energy. This helps out in two ways: with cheaper exploration and shows you where you can find rock.
New level - Mountains village. Lots of rocks but not so many trees, so getting wood is harder, but mining is easier. This will appear instead of desert (current first level after tutorial). With this map all demo levels have 2 different options that you can encounter in each fight.
Desert (first level) main structure and towers got cheaper to destroy.
