Dear fellow card warriors,

Since the launch of Cardaclysm last month, I’ve been working a lot to vastly improve the game. Your forum posts and Discord comments helped a great deal in doing that! Today’s update marks the 3rd post-launch update for Cardaclysm and I’d like to talk about the more significant changes that were introduced in these updates.

ADAPTIVE DIFFICULTY
Forget being stuck once and for all: from now on, the game monitors your progress and adapts its difficulty to make sure that you always face enemies that match your power.

REALM REWARD
After today’s update, once you successfully defeat all six opponents and complete a realm, the game offers you three cards and you can choose one to keep. The three offered cards are always from the current tier. Together with the adaptive difficulty, this means you’ll never get stuck and you’ll always get relevant cards that can help you build that Perfect Deck™ ːsteamhappyː

TOKEN PRICES
Prices at the Token Trader, chest pages and artifact inventory have been significantly reduced (cards can now be acquired for 25-45-65 instead of 50-75-100 for example!!). Also, the only source of income for Tokens was discarding your hard-earned cards – well, that is no longer the case! You can now collect tokens on the world map as well.



BALANCE
Numerous balance issues and inconsistencies have been resolved since launch, including the way paralyze behaved against Rage creatures (enemy creatures with Rage do not get either of their attacks now if they are paralyzed) and creatures with Thorns abilities have been weakened as well. All changes have been implemented to hopefully solve the problem of sudden difficulty spikes and provide a smoother experience.

...and I do not plan to stop here either! The world of Cardaclysm is important to me and I want to keep working on it to make it as fantastic an experience to play as possible! Thank you for all your feedback, you have truly helped shape the game into what it has become!

Stay safe in these troubling times!
Until next time,
Ede

Dear fellow card warriors,

It is finally time to put on your robes, shuffle up your deck and face the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in epic card battles - and also the very last opponent: Death himself!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9awW3Z8UOts
After 8 months Cardaclysm: Shards of the Four leaves early access TODAY with its full launch update that includes additional polish, balance changes and a bunch of endgame content:

NEW STUFF:

• Fixed a bug where Hunting Scalebreed and Red Scalebreed were not linked to the correct cards
  
• Fixed a bug where the Corrupted Helmet would do nothing if multiple creatures were already corrupted
  
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the green and red selection circles remained visible after battle
  
• Fixed a bug where ranged hits that should hit their target would sometimes miss the Naga Fighter
  
• Fixed a bug where shoes were not properly placed on the main character on the world map
  
• Swapped the 'Accept' and 'Decline' buttons where necessary for a more streamlined UI experience

The world of Cardaclysm: Shards of the Four is now complete and you can immerse yourself in a procedurally generated world full of challenging enemy encounters and even more powerful spells and artifacts for you to wield in battle! Are you ready to face the evil that you unleashed yourself to the world? We will see...

Dear fellow card warriors,

The sixth Early Access roadmap update for Cardaclysm is live - and to be honest it has been for quite some time! According to the roadmap, the update was released in December 2020, but we did not inform you about it with an update here on the Steam page. Sorry for that! Here is the complete list of new stuff and changes - I hope you enjoy it!

And please let me know your feedback on the Cardaclysm Discord channel or in the Steam Community. It's really appreciated! ːsteamhappyː

NEW STUFF:

• New boss: Infernal can now be unlocked by defeating War
  
• New cards: Corrupted Neophyte, Corrupted Blademaster, Tormented Weaponmaster, Ancient Wrath, Sand Golem, Winged Seeker, Winged Nightmare, Witchplant, Vicious Mouth, Hungry Behemoth, Hunting Scalebreed, Red Scalebreed, Fallen Angel, Twisted Angel, Dark Angel, Glacius Purifier, Glacius Prime, Azure Serpent, Dawn Serpent, Serpent Duke, Vinetalon Elder, Vinetalon Grandmaster, Frost Phantom, Elven Mediwitch
  
• New artifacts: Keeper of Blight, Infernal Greatboots, Signet of Decay, Hollow Feet of Twilight, Redwood Cane, Ring of Wealth
  
• Rebuilt the tooltip system from scratch, lots of tooltips have been reworded for clarity

CHANGES:

• Concoction and Elixir now have the [Cure] keyword which can remove [Poison], [Frostbite], [Corruption] and [Paralyze] from an allied creature
  
• Replaced the stock card art for Unexpected Strike, Arrow Strike, Arrow Blast, Whirlwind of Arrows, Tiny Rock and Tiny Crystal with our own, custom versions
  
• Added a new card art to the Fire Wraith spell so it can be more easily distinguished from the Fire Wraith creature
  
• Creatures upgraded on the fly will also receive all bonuses from artifacts now
  
• Balance: Arrow Strike and its levels now cost 6-10-14 gold instead of 9-14-19
  
• Balance: War now has the [Rage] ability
  
• Creatures that deal damage to all enemies and have the [Poison] keyword will now apply poison to all enemies
  
• Creatures with damage reflection (Highmore Sorceress, Highmore Golem) now reflect damage back even if killed
  
• Changed the tutorial to include the second Scorpid earlier as a reminder to keep upgrading creatures
  
• Fixed a bug where the camera was looking at the ground when opening a chest after victory
  
• Fixed a bug where damage reflection killing a retaliating creature triggered that creature's on-attack skill
  
• Fixed a bug where a creature could deal negative damage (thus, healing the opponent)
  
• Fixed a visual bug where inventory items may have appeared multiple times in a player's backpack
  
• Fixed a bug where hitting ESC while looking at an artifact with a card reference caused the card to stay visible
  
• Fixed a bug where the Insane mode option remained visible even if you couldn't leave the Pub
  
• Reduced the intro video volume to 70%
  
• Various localization fixes

So... what's next? Well, I'd like to talk about what happens in the full version of the game after you've defeated the Infernal.

• The golden rune cap is raised to 500
  
• "Death keys" appear on the world map
  
• A new indicator in your quest log shows that you need to collect a LOT of these keys
  
• The higher difficulty you beat (default, challenge mode, insane mode), the more keys you'll get

But most important of all, the Agents of Death appear everywhere. This is a brand new enemy type, a new card faction never shown before in Cardaclysm with its own keywords and their own very brutal creatures. These guys will make your life hell while you're trying to get all those keys.

During this time however, there are no more boss chases. Instead, what you need to do is collect enough Death keys. Once you have enough, you may enter the Realm of Death, which is a brand new realm in the game. Here, you can face the ultimate challenge Cardaclysm offers. And if you have what it takes, you may even defeat Death itself

Thank you all very much for your ongoing feedback and support! ❤️

Stay safe and see you all in the Realms of Cardaclysm!

Dear fellow card warriors,

I am really sorry this for this bad news, but I have to postpone the 6th and 7th (full launch) update of the Cardaclysm Early Access roadmap.

I wanna be honest with you: Since I have been infected with Covid-19, I have really not been able to continue working on Cardaclysm in the last few weeks. I'll try my best to cure up and feel better again, so I can finally continue working on the game! ːsteamhappyː

Here are the changes concerning the Early Access roadmap:

• The 6th (2nd major) update will now launch in December
  
• The 7th (full launch) update is postponed to early 2021

But hey, there are also some good news to share: The endgame content that's coming with the 7th update will be extended a bit and the 7th update will also add additional controller support to Cardaclysm.

Many thanks for your understanding and I further thank you all very, very much for your ongoing feedback and support! ❤️

Please folks, stay safe and see you all in the Realms of Cardaclysm!
