It's been sometime since my last update here on Steam so decided to make sure those who aren't in the Discord are still informed!
There's been a lot going on ! A few big additions have come through recently, one of the biggest being the inclusion of the Daily Draft!
The Daily Draft
The Daily Draft is great for those who don't want to commit to a full Vault of the Void run, but would rather a quick 30 min, "straight-into-the-action", experience.
The DD is based off a worldwide seed (so everyone experiences the same thing!), which will give you a random collection of Spells, Artifacts, Void Stones, and of course, Cards! Your opening Booster will contain 22 cards, which everyone in the world will receive the same cards from. You'll then be thrown into a much smaller, single floor Map which only contains fights - no rewards, no events, nothing! Just Vaults fast paced combat system, with nothing to slow you down.
Your goal is to use the cards, Void Stones and Spells given to make your way through the floor in the shortest amount of Battlerounds possible. A Leaderboard everyday will track who has the best run. Compete against friends and strangers to see who can craft the most optimised deck and strategy from the same resources as everyone else.
There have been a bunch more changes and tweaks as well, I'll try to list as much as I can down below! Some of the awesome new inclusions: Unlockable Battlefield Backgrounds, new Deck Backs, new Items, and a very experimental new calls - The Enlightened!
I'm excited to see everyone experience the Daily Draft, and as always, would love to hear feedback on how to make things better. You can always find me on the Discord if you ever want to chat!
All for now!
