Hello there,
I'm really excited to FINALLY add a new boss to the game! It was really fun to design and I hope it will be as much fun to fight.
Spider Queen
Meet Spider Queen who is able to use charming looks to command other spiders and even entangle hogs in her web. She's most complex Card Hog enemy so far and likely will need some behavior and balance tweaks in the future. Could use a better name too. Any suggestions?
Economy Crash
I decided to pull the plug on coins and from now on classic Dungeon Crawl mode also uses new economy system (unspent coins don't pass on between runs). Some of you will have thousands of useless coins now until I'll figure out a decent way to turn them into something else. XP maybe?
That said, from now on new characters will only require reaching in-game scores or getting achievements to be unlocked.
I will focus on balancing coin drop values as well as card purchase/removal prices in the near future. Eventually there will be an option to modify these mechanics in case you'd prefer to not think about your spending too much.
Sorry for the mess. It was not a great idea from the start and these changes should be good in the long run!
Community Call
Recently I've been giving away quite a few copies of Card Hog to keep things more lively while sales are low and would like to mention that I'll gladly provide a key or few to:
- Content creators who would like to play the game and/or do a giveaway to their community
- Community owners and managers (Steam groups, Discord servers, etc) who would like to do a giveaway
