Features
🧾Story Nodes: Get a first glimpse into the world of the Nether with 6 decision events, each with a fullscreen artwork. This is just the beginning of the feature! In the future there will be NPCs, travel decisions & lore.
⛰️3D Environments: Added 5 more 3D environments and all existing environments have been polished more.
Improvements
🛜Network traffic usage reduced by 84.5% from on average 110 kbyte/s to 17 kbyte/s by sending single ECS components from server to client (similiar to delta compression)
🎯Optional Targets: You can now play cards that used to require 2 targets with only 1 target if it's a positive effect. Example: Great Roar II-B now let's you push up to 2 cards instead of exactly 2 cards.
🏃Option to Disable Animated Attacks. This allows you to have a more strategic overview with for example "Static" mode vs. a more cinematic feel with the "Enabled" mode. If you like things absolutely still, you can also choose the "Disabled" mode.
Enabled → Zoom-in + animated attacks
Static → No Zoom + static frames of attacks
Disabled → Static characters
