Hi guys!
Did you guys enjoy Thanksgiving spending time with your family? (to American fans only) I actually didn't know thanksgiving was today until I saw a special wallpaper for fans posted by other indie dev. Had I knew we probably would have prepared one but I missed it. (Sigh) Sorry about that guys.
Now let's talk about today's update. This update was supposed to take place on January 3rd, but we fast-forwarded it to today to see if this ends the Fatal Error issue... (EDIT: Right before we upload the build, we found another Fatal Error that crashes the game when you use a spell card in a certain situation. We haven't figured out why this happens and are currently investigating. This is separate issue from the Fatal Error message some of you have been getting. Looks like we can never have 100% clean build! =( )
Now le't move onto something fun. We now have a new class on board! His name is Giovanni. Is he Italian? We don't know. Only thing we know is he's Cleric Gnome. Here's his brief background.
"Clerics practice the religion of " Thorholic" and play the essential role of a supporter looking after the allies away from the battlefield. But now, they are taking things into their own hands entering the battlefield with a hammer just like the one that their God has.(!?) Their holy spells can strengthen as well as heal themselves and the friendly force, and they're not shy about using their hammer to punish the enemies when they need to. They carry many spell cards that can heal both themselves and friendly minions making them exceptionally advantageous in later rounds, which is why they are feared by many."
Sounds like he's a lot of fun and looks like there's a cult even in Middle Board. I actually tested him streaming it on Twitch today morning (Korea time), so head to our Twitch channel if want to check it out. (And don't forget to subscribe it! =): http://www.twitch.tv/fakedice Anyway so why don't you go to My Deck and say hello to Cleric? Here are other stuff we did in this update.
Optimization
- Optimized gameplay logic and animation.
- Expected to Lower the recommended PC spec.
Chages
- When you get into a battle, minion attacks first in any given situation.
- Every round two neutral minions are summoned on empty spaces.
- Enemy minions are already on the board in the first round.
Bug fixes/Improvements
- Finally found the cause of Fatal Error, and fixed it. - Found another crash bug but it rarely happens when a certain spell card is used.
- You can now play the game on 32bit-based Windows. - This was the cause of "The unknown error".
- Unresponsive mouse click fixed. - The cause of it was the loading screens, which we removed for now. - This is identified as a bug from Unreal Engine 4. - We've reported it to their technical support)
Alright guys, that's it for today's update. Enjoy your Friday and see you guys next week! (I will be back with more information on what we're doing to transform this game to be more PC and RPG-like.)
