Hello Steve,

Here we are again with a minor update.

Bike wheel will now give 20 points instead of 50 points per combine.

Comment from Steve: The Bike Wheel is at a sweet point size-wise, but it gave the road a bit too easy a point-wise. While keeping this aspect alive, this should prevent "Bike Wheel only runs".

Removing from the deck now costs 99 only in the round before the boss and not on round 12.

Comment from Steve: The intention remains the same, but the last objective being difficult, allowing the player to remove it if they have not reached the objective, will block players less.

An alternative eyeball skin can now be enabled in the settings.

• The "Create a deck" button has been added to the endgame screen

• Malus sound will only be played once if multiple malus are created at once.

• Donut tooltip detection zone is now a circle and not a donut.

• Controller cursor is now above everything else, no matter what.

• The ship and the next object are above UI, except for object tooltips

• Pigeon eating heart will no longer keep the shop reduction active

• Losing during the 5-second timer will no longer count as a win and no longer trigger achievement, stats and challenge win.

• Playing a challenge and changing mode will no longer allow you to purchase a passive you already own or duplicate a passive

• Demo has also been updated and should no longer have the "game crash" if you win your first game.

• Music will now be played even if you restart the game quickly

• Arena Rotation will be correctly reset if you restart the game with F5

• Fonts will now be correctly changed if you switch saves.

Most of the minor bugs should now have been fixed.

Have a great day,

Steve

- Added sound effect for seekers quitting. (Reminder: if you are alt-tabbed doing something else, seeker logic doesn't check for quitting until you come back.)

- Fixed bug with starting final two vending ascensions.

- Fixed bug in final bank ascension mechanics.

- Fixed bug in final coin pusher ascension rewards.

- In general, I tried to do a better job prohibiting impossible ascension combinations from being started.

Hello, comrades!

While we’re hard at work on the next entry in the series — BOT.VINNIK Chess Masters Academy — we’ve brought a slice of that new personality over to Prodigies. This update adds a big batch of brand-new BOT.VINNIK reactions (both praise and sarcasm) pulled straight from the upcoming game, giving your training sessions more variety, timing polish, and fewer repeated lines.

What’s in this update

• Dozens of new reaction lines for correct and incorrect moves

• Snappier delivery and less repetition during sessions

• Minor text polish

• I just created an unlock system. Now you’ll be able to obtain new content through achievements.

• I made a card for each boss. To obtain them, you’ll have to defeat them.

• There are now 30 new cards.

• I CREATED THE FORBIDDEN SYSTEM. Forbidden cards will appear under specific conditions where a lot of luck is required. 1 in 1000 chances. Runs where you get this lucky will be truly epic.

• There’s also a new notification system. When you unlock something new, a pop-up will appear in the top right corner (where the money is).

There are several things I still have to work on. Specifically, I don’t recommend using the consumable “Masquerade” because it’s still quite buggy. Soon I’ll focus on fixing it 100%, and then I’ll let you know it’s safe to use without worries.

• I had to make a big nerf to the spawn rate of mods, consumables, and cards. I hadn’t realized it before, but after playing so many matches my conclusion is that I had set the percentages incorrectly.

• I fixed some Codex issues. It will now correctly display the cards that are locked, and the user will also be able to see what’s needed to unlock them.

• I fixed the packs exploit. Previously, it was possible to obtain infinite cards by opening a specific pack.

• I fixed the annoying bug where you couldn’t acquire new cards even if there were available slots.

• I fixed a very unfair bug that took away mana after fighting certain bosses.

• Apparently, I fixed the “efficiency” system of the cookies tray. I’ll keep an eye on it in case anything goes wrong.

• I corrected several poorly written card descriptions where terms were being confused.

These last few days were pretty tough for me. However, I didn’t expect to be able to work this much. In the end, I made it. I take advantage of every free minute I have to do something for my game. I AM FULLY DETERMINED TO CREATE A GREAT DECKBUILDER ROGUELIKE.

I’ll keep going like this. Thanks for the support. Remember that I’m always on Discord answering questions and reading feedback. I also welcome interesting ideas. I’m active; if I’m absent, it’s because I’m working too much or I had problems.
