PAX Aus Indie Showcase
Absolutely stoked to be one of the 6 winning indie developers for this years PAX Aus Indie Showcase.
If you're going to PAX, come and say hi, we are located at Booth AIS6, right next to Ninetendo!
We have some really exciting things going on including free Steam key giveaways and collectable pins!
And most importantly, the new demo will be available to try exclusively at the PAX Aus Indie Showcase, and then released on Steam shortly after.
The New Demo
Introducing the wizard and an upgraded shop
We welcome the wizard to Trivia Deal who can be found in the upgrade shops at the end of each round. The shop also includes a range of balancing improvements, and clear lifeline slots so you can plan your run accordingly.
Chill / Streamer mode
This highly requested mode disables question timers, allowing a more chilled play experience, local co-op fun (or disagreements), and streamers to interact with their audience. Currently this is experimental, as timer lifelines now become relatively useless (more to come soon!).
Reward Chest Cards
These handy reward chests are mixed into the deck in each round, adding more strategic options to how you tackle a board. Rewards include randomly selected lifelines and swap cards to choose from.
Level Rewards
After successfully winning a round, you will now have a bonus level reward. The initial level rewards are to +10 intelligence, + 5 max intellgience or +20 gold. There will be many other options added in future.
Swap Card Deck
The first version of the swap card deck allows you to see what's hidden in your deck, helping you to make better decisions on shuffling, and purchases in the shop.
More Control
Settings has had a lot of updates and improvements, see the full changelog below.
