Hi folks!
We are still wrestling with a problem with triggering achievements on the Mac version of the game but rather than delay this patch for everyone we've decided to go ahead with it for Windows now and we'll update it for the Mac as soon as we can.
Edit: 1.02 is now live for both Windows + Mac. We've also fixed a few bugs people have found in the new battle animation system (details at bottom of this announcement).
As always, thanks for your continued support and I hope you enjoy hunting for some of these achievements. Let me know if you figure out the two hidden ones!
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 achievements are not awarded retroactively, you need to trigger them once you have updated to v1.02
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!
- As part of adding these we've gone back and sped up a lot of the timings of things at the start and end of battles (like the cards being dealt, etc), so you should get into and out of battles quicker, even with the new animations.
- 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
Bugs fixed in Aug 8th hotfix
- Tough Fight and REALLY Tough Fight achievements were being triggered on loss as well as on win, now fixed
- Ferocious is now checked last to allow other extra damage to be totalled up first
- Stopped Ferocious applying to Magical attacks
- Ranged trait now only adds +1 to quick attacks that are physical, not quick magical attacks
- Dice (Blade II) no longer adding +1 dmg wrongly
- Fix issue with quick icon not always displaying
- Conceal should now only land when icon hits. Should also not be applied if blocked
- Stopped SpellSword icon from vanishing when using Arcane Swipe
- Damage-over-time oddities should now be fixed (e.g. Fury not triggering when card played at half health after Burn)
- Sped up large attacks
- Fixed Card Storm not discarding 4 cards
- Fixed Brain-Enhance Serum not drawing cards (also fixed its name)
