1.0 Patch Notes
Hello to all you Mori Cartians out there, new and old! Welcome to the 1.0 release patch notes! Over the past five years, the team at Nevergreen Games has created a truly new “handless” roguelike deckbuilder. Some of you are very familiar with what Mori Carta has to offer, but many of you have yet to embark on your journey with the Fool, Hau, the Embertree, and all the other characters you’ve yet to meet. We are super excited for you to play Mori Carta!
For the first time ever, players will be able to play the fifth and final class of Mori Carta:
The Possessed!
The Possessed is a tragic figure embodying the vibrant dance between life and death. Their journey is one of sorrow and resilience, marked by the inexorable march towards destiny. They come with a dramatic new special ability, Martyrdom! They can cast cards by taking damage, drawing strength from the sacrifice of both friend and foe.
To unlock the possessed players will need to beat the "Beast of Change" enemy with each of the other 4 classes.
Huge changes to the Trickster!
Playing at 7 energy is the Trickster's character ability but it was not a huge part of play as getting to 7 and staying there was challenging. We've reworked the Trickster, buffing their starting energy to 5 from 3 and many of their cards now give half their energy cost back. If you're at 7 this half refund becomes a full refund, allowing you to stay at 7! To balance this out, and maintain the Trickster's identity as a daredevil, we are returning to having their doubling ability apply to all cards, not just friendly ones.
Future Support Beyond Launch!
Mori Carta isn’t going up on the shelf just yet. We have a couple features in mind that our small team of 4 couldn’t get in for the 1.0 launch, such as controller support and localization. Support for Mori Carta will continue alongside other projects as we stride into the future of game development.
Besides this we will continue to keep an eye out for bugs and problems in the community and support the game in that way as well.
Tune in to the stream over at https://www.twitch.tv/singingswordsman today and all through this week! SingingSwordsman also plans to continue to stream Mori Carta on Tuesday evenings, so tune in for your weekly fix of Mori Carta.
Thank You!
To all those who supported us, our playtesters, friends, family, and collaborators. It has been an honor to get to share development with you.
