Cyan Forge
Forge Enchanted Cards with the Cyan Forge. You will need to have at least appraised 1 Oracle Card to unlock this feature in the Safe Area. You will then need 3 of the same Type(Permanent, Veil, Instant) and Level of the Card you want to forge.
This is kind of a pity system as a lot of the Cards before are behind RNG. This will allow you to make most of the Cards you may need. Other Cards that cannot be forged are still behind actually obtaining them, and are usually guaranteed in some fashion anyway.
Winter-themed Cards
The Winter Warmth and Cold Crumble Cards are powerful Veil Cards you can only find in the deepest areas of the Dungeon and only when the Wrath is Angered. They will allow you to tank or pummel your way through enemies respectively. I really wanted to try to make a high-risk, high-reward type of Card with Cold Crumble, and I think I made it.
One other new Veil Card is the Enlightened Flames. This will spawn 4 flames around you, that revolve around you and attack enemies! This can only be forged via the Cyan Forge. I always wanted to add some type of Summoner kind of Card in the game, and this lets you become one. Couple this with Flameboyance, and you’ll be dealing a lot of Fire to the monstrosities in the Dungeon.
These seasonal Enchanted Cards won’t go away, so you can get it whenever you can.
Winter-themed Sword Skins
I’ve added 5 more Sword Skins to the game. No Android exclusives on this one so you can use it from anywhere.
- Frost and Frostbringer(animated) Swords
- Icicle
- Christmas Tree and Lit Christmas Tree(animated) Swords
Small Fixes
I’ve also done some small fixes and optimizations to the game. I removed some mechanics that really weren’t meant to be there and are unused. I’ve also boosted Card Inventory, from 500 to 750. This should give you a lot more space for the new Cards I’ve added these past few months.
The Tutorial was also revamped to be clearer and more concise. The tutorial updates don't change anything if you've already done that particular tutorial bit once.
Future? (again)
That’s really about it for Winter 2024. A lot of this new update is really remixing what Deep Dark Wrath already had and adding a little bit more. I will say this wasn’t what I planned for Winter. However, I really am not ready to take the deep dive into v3.0 and v4.0 yet, so I wanted to just add small bits of the update instead.
Enlightened Flames was actually a v3.0 Card. The Cyan Forge is a derivative of the main mechanic I wanted to add for v3.0, so it’s nice to get some practice for it and so I’ll have a better idea of how to make something similar.
Anyway, hope you all have a great Winter 2024, have fun with the game now that it's on a 35% Off Sale, and have fun getting those new Cards! This has been CraftedCircuitry, signing off for now.
