These are the patch notes for the 3rd update since Early Access launch!
I apologise for any of you who got your save data corrupted! There are some situations when the game profile will fail to load, and be replaced with a brand new profile. This update adds some protections to prevent save corruption!
Feel free to use the in-game shop code "Lelo" (without quotes) to quickly recover your collection! (Requires internet access to redeem)
Slow Updates
I also apologise for taking so long with updates. This has become a huge update that improves or fixes a lot of things, but I think I'm taking too long, so I will be posting devlogs and smaller updates from now on instead.
I will do my best to do better. Thank you for your patience!
I will be posting a roadmap post soon so you can have an idea of what will be coming to the game!
Main Changes
- Updated card art for Sul Quillcroft (Hero) and Raphael, the Wayfinder. Both cards will have their old art unlockable as card styles or other cosmetics they already had.
