Hello everyone! ːsteamhappyː
It's been a while, so we want to provide you with some updates! 🌟
Updates:
- Metaprogression Revamp to create more impact! 🌟
- Second Character Cards are complete, including all upgraded versions. 🎮
- Localization System/Looking for Translators!
- We are in Chinajoy x Game Connection Event! 🎉
Metaprogression Revamp
Based on feedback, we’ve decided to remove the upgrade tree. Players didn't find it engaging, and we couldn't agree more. Our new progression system will focus on impactful progression rather than getting access to discounts and gem slots. The new system will feature character upgrades that provide new sets of cards rather than just one, and more town-impact strategy, enhancing the "one more run" vibe. 🔄
Second Character and Hazard Level
The second character cards are complete, including all upgraded Smelted card versions.
New monsters will appear in late ascension games as part of our hazard progression. More handicaps will also be introduced to increase the difficulty levels for those pro players out there! 👹
Balancing and bug fixing are currently our main focus. Once we have a stable version, we’ll need your input! Expect this around September. 🛠️
Localization System / Looking for Translators!
We invite players who are interested in helping out with translation. Currently, we are working on our demo translation to start. Languages we are interested in include Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, Russian, Japanese, and Korean. If you speak another language or would like to let us know, or wish for it to be translated, please let us know! 🌏
