Version Number: 0.8.11
This is a huge week! A ton of great stuff that I am really excited to talk about!
But before we get down into things. I have a huge favor for players who have not left a review on Steam and who are willing to. We would love to hear from you, and this also can help the game grow. As a small team who wants to make games our primary jobs and not just our job on top of our current day jobs. This would be of amazing help, to not only promote the game but hopefully show we are capable of creating something fun and engaging.
But now to the real patch talk.
This week we have added 5 new trials!
- Energy Challenge - Suffer damage every card played once you have more than 3 energy
- Bard - Fights no longer give gold but instead gain 1500 gold the first time you enter a city
- Cursed Child - Gain a curse at the end of every fight
- Blind Run - Can no longer see your current health or enemies current health
- Survival - Create a character and defeat The Lost
The one thing with these is that our normal Survival mode has been temporarily removed while it is being reworked into something hopefully better.
New intent System
The new intent system is now fully implemented. For those who are unaware of the changes we made here is a TL;DR
Enemies will now either say or "do" something at the start of your turn. This will indicate what card they are going to play on their turn and its possible effects. This system is more in line with how we originally wanted intent to work. This system is also enabled for Hero difficulty.
But we will continue to refine this system as time goes.
This does not mean the old intent system is out, but we are looking to phase it out at some point. But we want to hear from you. What are your thoughts on the new intent system?
Balance tweaks
Some balance tweaks were made to enemies to be easier on normal play (initiate, adventurer, hero). We want Odyssey mode to be where players challenge themselves and where they go to play a harder game. So if you want a good challenge go try and complete Odyssey.
Let us know your thoughts about these changes or the new content. And let us know what kind of things you have been enjoying or would like to see added or changed.
