Here we are again!
So this week's patch, I’ll admit, might be a little lackluster. I had grand plans to push ahead with the first card expansion - however I got tied up clearing out a number of bugs - both old and new. As time went on, it felt like a good way to spend the week - crushing out as much of these little issues as I could!
Huge thank you to all who have been reporting these on Discord/Steam Forums, makes it so much easier for me to swoop in and sort things out!
On top of the Bug Fixes however, I managed to rewrite the Music engine, which allowed me to get the Voids very own music track in there! Plus there's over 20 new card artworks, plus a few new nice QoL things - like coloured borders on the Enemies buff/debuff/passive (shoutout to DukeOfLight for the idea!)
I’ve also gone ahead and buffed the amount that most Minions grant to the Progress Bar in fights. Seeing some people attempt Guardian fights, it occurred to me that some prefer to play in a way that clears out minions, rather than rushing the Boss directly. I’ve ensured this is much more viable now!
Next week, I have some pretty big plans. Guided mode for Impossible+ is on the horizon, all the details are done, it's just a matter of implementation now. This will act as more of your standard “progression” system, in an effort to not overwhelm players with all the options. You just set your Instability level - and all the modifiers will be prefilled!
There's also a big Card and Artifact update coming, firstly for the Enlightened but then the other two classes will be getting some love as well the following weeks. Around 20+ cards and new items etc - very keen to get that going!
For now though - I’ll keep working through stuff, expect another Dev Diary video hopefully next week as well! Thanks all for the lovely comments and flurry of new reviews last week - ya’ll make me smile with joy everyday!
Hope everyone has a great weekend - more to come next week!
All for now!
