Hello fellow deckbuilders,

It’s been a turbulent start since releasing the demo, with fixes and adjustments needed all over the place. But I’m excited to finally focus on updating and improving the Card Chronicles experience.

I recently got lucky and could get Final Boss Editing to review Card Chronicles' story. As luck would have it, he’s a huge fan of deckbuilders and decided to give Card Chronicles: Devious Deck a try. You can watch his playthrough here:

I’ve been eagerly analyzing every step he took, every comment he made, and each bug he encountered. It’s incredibly valuable to receive such in-depth feedback on my game, and I hope to return the favor someday.

Now, back to Card Chronicles: Devious Deck. I want to address the term "War of Attrition" that’s been brought up. At some point, every choice the player makes seems to become meaningless in the grand scheme of the game, reducing gameplay to using any card as long as it deals damage.

I understand that this issue arises from several factors, and I aim to tackle one of them with the upcoming update. Previously, players couldn’t predict enemy turns, making it difficult to plan defenses or guards effectively.

I am currently implementing distinct enemy behavior, which can be predicted and therefore offers new ways to build your deck with more reason, making for a more interesting battle encounter and leveling up the game's base mechanics, hopefully weakening the "War of Attrition."

The update is likely to roll out on Friday, July 19th.

TLDR - Work has been started on 1.13 and I hope to have it released in the coming months, it will bring a new map and remove a lot of tech debt from the code base which will allow me to develop new features faster.

Hello!

This is the first development update I'm going to post about Wyoming Winter, I plan to do these semi regularly.

Work has started on version 1.13, my plan with this version is to remove a lot of tech debt that is currently stopping me from developing features that I think would help the game immensely and by doing so add a new map to acompany the current office map.

This update will take some time to finish I estimate around two months to develop, test and release but afterwards should lead the way to more frequent and higher quality updates.

I'll be fixing some issues in this update as well such as the jump movement tech that allows players to travel at immense speed around the map.

Player counts have been on the rise month after month with an increase in monthly Vivox (voice chat functionality) users by ~30% each month since January, this is very engouraging and I'm hopeful for the future growth of the playerbase.

If anyone has any suggestions please do reply or send a tweet to @ValleyHoundUK

Cheers,
ValleyHound
