Greetings, Movie Directors!
We’re thrilled to announce the Pre-Winter Premiere—a new patch packed with updates and improvements. It took us a bit longer to get this version out, but we believe it’ll be worth the wait!
Improved Tutorial Experience
As a new game, we want to ensure that all players can easily dive in and enjoy. We’ve reworked the tutorial based on tons of feedback to make it more accessible. You’ll find better pacing, voiced lines, and a softer, more digestible presentation of mechanics. These enhancements aim to make learning the game clearer and more enjoyable—perfect for newcomers and those still deciding.
Introducing PvE Story Campaign
Instead of jumping straight from the tutorial to practice or multiplayer, you can now test your skills in our new PvE story campaign. Play against improved bots and enjoy a narrative-driven experience with generous rewards. The campaign provides enough resources to craft at least two additional leads beyond the starter deck, which offers even more ways to experiment with team combinations. We’ve also added guides for deckbuilding, crafting, and missions to support your journey as a budding movie director in ScreenPlay.
Daily Missions UI Overhaul
You spoke, and we listened! We’ve redesigned the daily missions UI based on player feedback, making it easier to track and claim rewards. We hope this change makes your daily quests more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Enhanced Rank Badges
Our previous rank badges were placeholders, but this update brings a visual upgrade. We want you to feel proud of your rank and enjoy showcasing your directorial prowess. While they may see further refinement, we hope you enjoy the new look.
Match Reconnection Feature
We’re introducing a match reconnection feature, allowing you to resume matches in case of crashes, disconnections, or desyncs. This ensures a smoother and more reliable gameplay experience, so you can stay focused on directing your masterpiece.
Bot Improvements
The bots have been improved to provide a fun experience, especially for new players. They now offer a good challenge up to the first 2-3 ranks, helping players sharpen their skills.
Early Match Emotes
Players can now send default emote messages during matches. This is an early version of the feature, with more exciting emotes and customization options coming in future patches.
Other Improvements
New vfx for Noir Thinking
This patch also includes upgrades to card art, VFX, and sound FX, with more enhancements planned for future updates. We’ve also addressed numerous bugs, with special thanks to our community for their helpful reports.
What’s Next?
In the coming patches, you can expect further bot improvements, new cards, a draft mode, in-game tournaments and one more special mode. Plus, we’re working on additional VFX, animations, and new card art to keep enhancing your experience.
We hope you enjoy this update! Spread the word, and let us know what you’d like to see in future patches. Thank you for being a part of ScreenPlay—we’re excited to have you with us on this journey!
