Build 0.2.7 release
🦈Shurko here. Happy new year! ːsteamhappyː Thank you all for helping me develop The Last Crypt this year. A lot of you detected bugs and gave a lot of ideas. Didn't expect this game to grow so much in just one year, but here we are. So, here's the update for those who wants to test the game during holidays.
Also, a side note. I managed to write some bug, that took me 1.5 WEEKS to fix. The bug was caused by a single line of code and the lack of "{ }" there. So, lesson learned. Don't try to write the code as compact as possible, because this turned me very very mad.
Balance
Alright, time to balance things with Skill cards. I went over a lot of Skill and Weapon cards, and changed modifiers here and there. Turns out most of the "Stacking" effects didn't have any limit, so they were stacking forever. This cause some leaking in the damage. All of them now have limits. Also, went over Skill - Weapon connected cards. Damage modifiers between these were adjusted, and now are in much better state. There is still a lot of work needed to be done, but I say It's a good step.
Expect a lot of things to be listed here, as I was fixing small stuff all over the game:
