Hello adventurers!

Sorry for long radio silence, but I had to pause the project and postpone releases for a little bit, because of personal problems.

This is one of the biggest updates for the game so far, which is why we jumped ahead a few versions (0.27->0.33).
It will be last major update before full release - however we will still release bugfixes in the meantime.

We plan to exit EA and fully release the game somewhere this year - along with the final dungeon, final boss, some new content and some in-game story (if time will allow).

If any of you who will read this likes the game and would like to see more - please help us reach people who could enjoy the game :)

Now without further ado, here is the changelog:

Changelog 0.33:

Mechanics:

• Grimoire presets - now you can have many grimoire presets - so you no longer have to re-do your grimoire each time in order to min-max - just load a preset or create new one!
• Sanity mechanic - each card costs 1 sanity, sanity regenerates 1 per turn. No more infinite combo cheesing (you can still cheese, but its a diet cheese ;) ).
• Added very slight bias towards enemies spawning in groups, rather than completely randomly.
• Enemies revealed by enemy abilities, and not by the player, will not attack the player right away.

UX:

• Many new VFXs - for cards, units, tiles and more!
• Dungeon goal & effect - now can be seen during the run!
• Enemies which have dodge/immunity show “DODGED!” or “IMMUNE!” when they are damaged.
• Hovering over card name in game log now shows up this card.
• Fixed some enemies descriptions.
• Karma store no longer shows up if you have 0 karma.
• Added a warning when picking a card that costs more than your max of given resource.
