Hello, Heroes!
I just wanted to share with you a sneak peek at some of the work that we’ve been doing behind the scenes since the last update. Alongside general balancing and bug-fixing, we have some awesome new features in the pipeline that I think you’ll all be really excited about. Some of these changes are a direct result of feedback from all of you, so please keep your feedback coming so that we can continue working together to make Fable Fortune the best game that it can be.
I can’t tell you yet when these updates will make it live, but we’re all working crazy hard to get them to you as soon as we can. The features below are just a sample of the many improvements we are looking to make to the game in the coming weeks and months. Look out for future sneak peeks which will contain some more info on some of the features below, as well as some of the other exciting changes that we’re working on.
Card Collection Revamp
We want to make building decks and flicking through your collection as fun and accessible as the rest of the game, so we have a few big changes planned for the card collection.
First up, you’ll be able to use our brand new search bar to search your collection to find the cards you need. Just start typing to search for any part of a card’s name, rules text, Gold cost, Strength, Health, Rarity, Race, type, and more! You can even use logical operators (>, =, etc) to help narrow down your search to units that cost more than 3 Gold, or have more Strength than Health, for example.
You’ll also be able to search for ‘New’ to find cards that have been recently added to your collection, which will be handily highlighted in green. No more trying to remember what new hotness you got out of your card packs.
We have a pretty huge change planned to the way that we display cards in your deck so that it’s easier to see more of your deck at a glance. We’re really excited about this change, but we’ll expand on this more in a future sneak peek.
Last up: something that I know you guys have been asking for. Mousing over a Morality card will show you that card’s Good and Evil transformations, so that you can better build your decks around these exciting and powerful cards.
Steam Friend Invites
We’ve heard and agree with your feedback around needing a better way to play together with your friends, so we’re working really hard right now on getting Steam Friend invites into the game. This will allow you to play friendly PvP matches against each other or team up with/hilariously betray each other in Co-op.
Battle UI Polish
One thing that we’d like to improve about battles is the general readability of some of the key elements, such as the Gold chest and the Hero Power button. We’re currently working on some new animations, VFX and 3D art improvements which will help to highlight when you gain and spend Gold, as well as when you use your Hero Power. These improved Hero Power animations will also better highlight when you go Good or Evil. Hype!
Card Pack Opening Revamp
Finally, I don’t want to spoil too much here, but we’re making some big improvements to the speed and wow factor of busting open your card packs, including highlighting any new cards that you’ve earned. I can’t wait to see what you guys think.
That’s all for now. If that’s left you hungry for more then be sure to tune into the next sneak peek when I should be able to share some brand spanking new info with you all.
Happy chicken chasing!
