Hi folks!
I was hoping to be able to publish our next patch with battle animations and achievements sometime this week but I'm afraid we've run out of week and the patch isn't quite ready yet.
Sorry :(
We've coded up all our achievements now and are just going to spend an extra day testing them. Battle animations are 99% done, but we're still syncing sound effects to animations, which should take about another day too. I will say the new battle animations + sounds really add a lot of life to battles.
So basically we should be ready with this patch live on Tuesday August 4th.
Really looking forward to sharing this update with you & sorry for the delays. Full patch notes are below and our roadmap for future work is here.
Thanks!
Colm
Achievements
- We've added 49 fun achievements. Very few of them are of the 'do X normal things' variety. I hope you like them. There are even two special hidden achievements for you to figure out. You can see the full list of achievements here. NOTE: YOU CAN'T GET THESE ACHIEVEMENTS UNTIL V1.02 IS LIVE
Battle screen animations + sounds
- This is to both spruce up battles so they are a bit more fun AND to help explain some mechanics better, like quick, unblockable, magical vs phsyical attacks, blocking, etc! This includes the much-missed Fury trait!
- We've also added an option to disable this new battle animation system if you don't want to see it
Bugfixes
- the graveyard is now properly infinite! Finally room for all your failures \o/
- write save file to temp file first, then if successful copy over existing save data. Should prevent rare case of blanked save games.
- fixed issue when in windowed mode the hover target area was wrong in the trophy room / graveyard
- PROPERLY fixed the spooky ghost card that remained on screen when you clicked the 'you died' popup too quickly (we hope! maybe this bug will haunt us forever)
- fixed issue with wrong alignment on really-big-resolution widescreen monitors
- windowed mode now also allows you maximise the window to have a full-screen-with-chrome window
- fix a couple of crashes around leaving the tutorial too early
- added missing tier 1/2/3 labels in unlock screen
