Hey everyone, thanks for your patience with our patch! In this update, we’ve introduced game balances, a revamped collection system, new voiceovers and performance optimizations.
Game rebalance
Base mechanics
- If the card is frozen, its frames on the reel are considered "broken" (i.e. won't count for BBQ Bill)
- Performance interruption always steals 1 story point.
Leads
- BBQ Bill: +1 story arc, shattered action frames on reel are not counted for his ability, performance detection for his ability is now genre based.
- Insult Comic Frog: Gains 1 NP in the end of scene, and an extra NP for a successful performance.
- The Godfish: +1 story arc,
- Qaal: now have 2 attack and 6 HP, -1 story arc.

The Great Collection Schism
By popular demand, we've revamped the way you view your Collection! Now, Decks and Cards are separate entities with their own screens.
- New Collection Screen: Easily view your Collection on a dedicated screen.
- Updated Deck Selection Screen: The decklist now exclusively serves as a decklist, with all deck actions performed at the center of the screen.
- Color Indication for Missing Cards: Cards not in your Collection are now clearly indicated with color.
- Improved Crafting Access: The crafting window now appears automatically when you add a card not in your Collection. More convenient ways to mass craft cards are on the way!

- Smoother Visuals: Experience a smoother and more polished gameplay experience.
While we’re not claiming perfection just yet, these enhancements provide a solid foundation for future optimizations. Thank you for your continued support as we work to make the game even better!
