Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.40. An update that's been cooking behind the scenes for over a month now, Optimisation is here! This means people should be able to play on their PCs as long as they are somewhat modern. You'll no longer need the world's strongest 2080TI's to play a card game.

Reminder: FREE DEMO

All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.



Loading Optimisation
The Infinity Engine has undergone a sweeping change in how assets, especially spritesheets and animations are loaded and unloaded
This takes advantage of the powerful Addressables system in new versions of Unity to dynamically load and unload assets in a way that doesn't consume huge amounts of RAM that made the game very unstable on lower end machines and long long load times even on newer hardware
In addition to this new system that has improved RAM usage by up to 80% this also provides much smaller build sizes and update sizes in the future.
Finally during profiling of our low end systems we have found a number of inefficient pieces of code that has now been rewritten to also reduce CPU usage


Tooltip Improvements
Tooltips have undergone a significant improvement in its backend systems (and we hope to have prettier tooltips soon)
These new systems will better showcase keywords that have been added to a card after creation, will better handle larger numbers of tooltips, and allow for custom card specific tooltips such as on cards that place counters on themselves or have specific status effects like if they are currently Piloted.
Not all cards that meet this criteria have had the system hooked up yet, and we look forward to hearing the community's ideas on what existing cards could take advantage of these systems to better improve clarity.

Engine Changes for upcoming features
We have been hard at work on two of the most requested features, multi targetting and optimization
While neither of these changes are in this build, many behind the scene systems had undergone minor changes to allow us to roll these out soon.

Infinity Heroes Stability improvements:
The last couple of patches due to a number of system changes for Infinity Wars classic have negatively effected Infinity Heroes, we have added new testing processes in place to make sure this doesn't happen again and have done some major bugfixes to IH.


Gif/Mp4 Animated Card Generator
We now have new tools to allow us to generate animated versions of all cards in the game quickly.
We will be sharing these resources soon, and even look into a discord bot or other similar resource in the future to help the community.

Dev Gamemode Modifiers
Those with special access can now add game modifier relics to multiplayer matches to be used in special events or streams
Can you beat an endlessly spawning horde of zombies? or regenerating health that means some sort of combo is required?

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.37. We've been talking with the community and designing away for the past month or so, and after a few teases, we're finally showing off the redesign of the Exiles faction!

Also, as a side note, we released the "Our Progress So Far" video with the previous patch, and it's been received amazingly, with a lot of people getting hype for IWC, and enjoying an infotainment style video. Honestly, we appreciate the love and support, and you could end up seeing more new video content in the coming weeks as a result.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.36. A lot of stuff that happened recently has been boring technical behind the scenes stuff and bug fixes, but we've also had a pretty large sweeping balance change list coming out for the first time, based on community feedback and playtesting. We've also got a new video at the bottom of this article that is TOTALLY worth the watch, so check it out!

Major Stability Improvements
We have been seeing some major stability issues with games freezing up. This has been in part due to our recent large overhauls of the Resolution, Deck, and internal systems.
We have found the cause of many of these issues and fixed them. As well as updated our internal Unity version to make use of some of its powerful testing tools, optimisation, and resource alocation to improve stability.

Exile Mechanic
I think it's very fair to say that of all the factions, Exiles nearly always received the short end of the stick. However one of their unique traits has been its titular mechanic and discard themes.
We have finally implimented this mechanic, allowing you to open up the graveyard scroll view and drag cards directly from their into play.

Exile Rework Sneak Peek
Exiles themselves are also in the process of getting a variety of redesigns, buffs, and tweaks to over half of their cards to help reduce the pure amount of randomness in the faction, make them not have more cross-synergy with other factions, and improve their cost curves so they have a better variety of early, mid, and lategame options.
These changes are currently still in progress and are scheduled to be complete next patch, in the meantime enjoy getting an early look at some of the changes and give us your feedback.


Dynamic Banlist
We have added a network enabled banlist that will allow us to disable certain cards from multiplayer matches without requiring a new patch. This means that if game-breaking bugs are found we can make sure it doesn't ruin people's experience.


Ao Shun, Incognito
Cost:1 Morale:8 (DoDx1)

Herald of Dawn - now targets a single character card in your hand, rather than applying to the next Character card you cast next turn. At this time it isn't feasible to add a buffer system that modifies the next card cast on a time delay for 1-2 cards. This change keeps the majority of the functionality of the card.
Decimator - now gains extra attacks from any damage dealt, not just combat damage. This will allow for some additional strategy and deckbuilding opputunities with the card to be used either with or against damage based ability cards.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.34. The patch landed last week, however the patch notes never got posted up due to a team member being sick. We absolutely do not blame anyone specifically for the delays, especially not Jason. Yeah. Anyway, here's what's new in Patch 0.34

Reminder: FREE DEMO

All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.



Cards in the graveyards can now be targeted when appropriate, cards that only target graveyards will automatically open the graveyard layout. The UI now allows for zooming and easier navigation control within this graveyard layout.
This has allowed us to implement a number of graveyard themed cards from IW1.

Added Access to 9 new premium stages from Infinity Wars, these can be accessed via the profiles tab.
These Battlefield are:

• Altar of Madness
  
• Cathedral of Flames
  
• Cathedral of Solace
  
• Eden Manufacturing
  
• Nature's Sanctuary
  
• Palace of the Dynasties
  
• Western Front
  
• Corrupted Lab
  
• Hydra Den

Added new UI background elements to blend the backgrounds of IW1 into our currrent UI and prevent visual errors from some widescreen users



Apothena, The Collector Cost:7 Morale:12 (SoA x2)

Unique Character - Undead
Infect
At the end of turn, if Apothena is deployed, all enemy Characters on the battlefield become Poisoned, taking 2 damage at the end of turn. (This poison stacks and is infectious.)

Shrine to the Heavens
Inevitable Dead

Grandmaster Rome | +1 Resource Cost, Angel stats changed to 6/2 and 2/6 (from 8/2 and 2/8)
Rome was overtuned for a number of reasons, adding too much stats to the board at his cost.
Kali, Reluctant Leader | activated ability now exhausts for 2 turns.
We are looking forward to seeing Aspirant based decks be an alternative gameplan for Flame Dawn, but the activated ability had low cost of opputunity from either combat or the command zone, and thus has been adjusted to require more thoughtful timing.
United Front | now activates each Sage automatically when played and spawns the sages in the support zone.
United Front was released without sufficient internal testing and was far far too weak, it has been given a significant boost in initial impact and no longer can cause you to lose huge amounts of morale due to the sages going directly into the defense zone.
Tygris, Politically Inclined | Artificial Token Buff changed to a +1/+1 buff to all tokens you control.
Tygris's previous design was too narrow, and artificial decks have had sufficient support. This new design will allow for different styles of decks to emerge while still working well with GI's internal synergies.
Black Bind Witch | Overcharge is now optional and any card that kills her is sacrificed to prevent infinite loops
While Black Bind Witch is already a powerful CoV option, we ran into several technical implimentation issues that indirectly causes the following buffs:
because Overcharge now happens on resolution, it can't predict if there will be cards in hand to overcharge. This means Black Bind Witch can be played as a vanilla 3/3 with no abilities.
The 2nd change is because her trigger is something that then can reapply the same effect as what causes the trigger, meaning that if two black bind witches hit and kill each other it would cause an infinite loop with our current systems. sacrifice is more powerful (lack of morale loss aside.) but prevents these loops.
Genetic Splicing | now adds all of the following types:
Human, Beast, Demon, Artifical, Angel and Insectoid
This card was very weak but comes with the dream of using tribal effects outside their usual context, so we did not have UI available to choose a single type to add, so it instead adds all the options, as well as Artificial to help support that tribal theme.
Champion's Attendant | now buffs a target champion
Due to us removing the mechanical downside of Champion, Attendant can now choose between any champions rather than it autoselecting for you.



Lots of major bugfixes for the resolution phase after our large changes last patch.

• Fixed End turn ordering and behaviour to have more consistent behaviour between modifiers and triggers.
  
• Fixed lots of VFX and dissolve errors that caused cards to either get stuck in the middle of the screen or not appear in the resolution phase.
  
• Fixed OnReplaceDeath and OnRemove to now correctly handle VFX nodes
  
• Fixed Yobo's Who Nobody Likes OnReplaceDeath trigger
  
• Fixed Mass Death and other kill noodes not kill anything
  
• Fixed the Trading post Shuffle option causing the game to desync if you target or swap the left-most card first

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.33. Our biggest focuses for this patch have been the new Demo mode that just went live earlier today, as well as the reworked resolution phase, which has been several months in development.




Demo Mode
We have added a Demo Mode for players to get a preview of Infinity Wars classic for those that are not subscribed to our Patreon campaign, this gives only single-player preset decks that you can try out a small fragment of the game against AI opponents. We'll be looking at a full free to play launch once the game is further along in it's development, but for now this should make a nice hit of nostalgia to old players, or a good way to try it before you buy it as someone considering becoming a Patron subscriber. Regardless, it's now sitting on the main branch of Infinity Wars 1, so you should be able to get in super easy. Enjoy!

Trading Post and Mulligan Changes
The Trading Post has undergone a massive rework, restored to it's former IW1 functionality, cards are now drawn instantly for the trading post and Mulligans now work the same as in IW1 and you can mulligan any number of times on the first turn. Do note that Trading Post actions cannot be undone.
Trading post actions now happen before any other triggers or effects in resolution.

Resolution Rework
The resolution phase has undergone a large rewrite of it's codebase, allowing us to support more gamemodes and projects in the Infinity Engine, as well as bring the order of resolution in IWC into line with IW1, without disrupting IH.
Triggers can now also interrupt the resolution phase at any time, allowing us to add more VFX and feedback to different triggers such as "On Enters Combat" or "On Attack" triggers.

Trigger Rework
In conjunction with the resolution rework, we also have done a large rework of the trigger system, allowing us to grant temporary or permanent triggers via our modifier system, this allows us to make many new types of cards and many old cards that were previously difficult to implement.

Click To Continue Resolution Option
To help assist players in complex board states or those newer to the game, we have added multiple "Click to Continue" resolution options that will pause the resolution phase during triggers and effects until you wish to continue. This can be enabled for just your opponent's cards, all cards, or disabled. See the Options Menu dropdown.

• Turn Timer Syncing - Multiplayer turn timers will now synchronize much more accurately as well as work with both the "click to continue" resolution and fast forward options.

• Xac's Demon Form changed from 15/15 Consume 2 and "If Xac kills a character as a Lord of the Pit, that Character's controller must sacrifice a Character next turn. This effect can only happen once per turn." to 16/16 Consume 6 and Plunder 1.

Cost:2 Morale:4 (WPx1 & FDx1)
Unique Character - Human
As long as Cathleen is Deployed, whenever another character you control is deployed, it gains +2/+2 until end of turn.

Welcome everyone to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.31. This also comes with some news on our focus being renewed from community feedback, and the end result of that feedback already coming through.

So, let's dive right into what's new!


We've been working on the Infinity Card Engine to support new and old gameplay options while also creating a new set of cards in Intrigue, giving fans a huge chunk of nostalgia, while also giving them something new and exciting. However, our approach to designing this new set was a little experimental, as the strength of a digital, in-production product is we can make changes, and nothing is set in stone. However, many of our active players have been clear that they're much more excited for old content returning, and the game having increased functionality. So, we're making some changes.

Going forward, you should be seeing somewhat less brand new content in the game, and more old content imported and remastered. And, as a way to speak with our actions over our words, a lot of focus has been placed on the Wish system the past month, which was required for a number of cards to be imported into IWC. The result? Over 50 IW1 cards are making it into the game this week!



Wish Card System
We have expanded the Infinity Heroes Upgrade system to support a far far larger range of cards that require multiple choices or modes. This means we can begin adding activated abilities with multiple modes, Wish cards, and much much more. We are really excited about how many cards this now allows us to impliment as well as new design place in the future.
While only a handful of cards use the system in this update, many more are on the way.

More Battlefields
28 IWC Battlefields Are Now Available by Default for all players.
The following are not included, either due to their assets requiring further cleanup or us wanting to make them available on a more limited scale:

• Practice Fortress (IW1 Alpha)
  
• Dragon Factory (IW1 Beta)
  
• Corrupted Forest
  
• Dimensional Rift
  
• Hellmouth

All location cards available will change your selected battlefield ingame as well to copy their original Infinity Wars behaviour.

• Lots of new trigger types and modifications to the resolution window.

• Reverted Bombard's change now that the engine allows original functionality.

Cost: 3 Morale: 8 (Factionless)
Unique Character - Human
When you deploy Merlin, Master Tactician, choose a faction in your deck's purity or factionless and gain that effect.
6/6

The rest of the effects do get a little complicated, and it's too much to fit on the text of the card, but here's what each of those choices does.

FD: +2/+0 and is moved to the assault zone.
DoD: +0/+4 and is moved to the defense zone.
GI: Merlin becomes Artificial and gives another target Artificial Character +3/+3
SoA: Merlin or target Undead Character you control gains infect.
OoS: Merlin gains flying. Restore 6 HP to your fortress.
CoV: Deal 4 damage to target deployed Character.
Ex: Target Character gets -2/-2.
WP: Merlin becomes a Beast and gives all Beasts you control +1/+1.
Factionless: Shuffle the left-most card in your hand into your deck, draw a card.

• Avatar of Lingbao and Spirit of the Serpent no longer deals morale damage at incorrect timing.
  
• Tygris no longer causes infinite attack and health loop. External passive not setup correcty.
  
• Targeting a card with an ability then, undoing then trying to target the same card no longer throws an assertion error, the card becomes unable to be targeted by that ability card.
  
• Re-targeting or undoing a targeted On-Field ablity no longer seems to break the game.
  
• Transforming functionality now performs properly if it has modifiers on it that are controlled by an external passive.
  
• Fixed Disarm targeting effect and incorrect purity labels.

in April, we held a Card Design Competition on our Discord server, and it received a lot of attention, with over 90 entries! And while a lot of designs definitely have sparked our curiosity for the future, only one had the honor of being selected as the winner. So, congratulations to Xeyron, for their suggested design of Duct-Tape Enthusiast. The card will be making it's way into the game in the coming months, once we have the art created.

Going from this, we also get to announce that the new card design competition is now live! The premise is a little more restrictive, as you're given design limitations to work within. You need to make a non-unique Flamedawn unit. Cost, style, effects and such are completely up to you, but that's the core idea. So, get in there and good luck!

So, if we see an influx of players before this weekend, prizing amounts may increase beyond their currently published level.

WHEN: 24th of April, 11AM (AEST / GMT+10)
WHERE: Discord, sign-ups already open, with check-ins half an hour before the event.
PRIZEPOOL:
4+ Players - $30 First place.
8+ Players - $35 First Place, $10 Second Place.
16+ Players - $40 First place, $10 Second place, $5 Third place


You can find all the information, including rules, countdown timers and signing up to compete either on Discord, or in the post below.

Multi Selection and Dragging

Holding Shift will now allow you to box select cards, moving them much faster.
Hold Shift and drag selected cards to move them about as a group.
Hold Shift and single click to add to remove cards from the selection.
This works with our new sliding zone system to make it as easy as possible to move the cards you want and rearrange them for the perfect resolution step.
We'd love to hear your feedback on this new feature we are very excited about.




We've set up our system to handle double exp limited time modes, and our first one will be happening this weekend during the IWC Summit! More events like this are slated to happen at some point in the future, and being active on Discord is the best way to hear more.

New IH Hero: Hinekri, the Chaotic

An additional update to Infinity Heroes, send the battlefield and your opponent into ruin with this unpredictable exiles deck.
Will you risk everything on the chance to gamble, or will you bend luck to your will?

Locations & Artifacts reworked

The original system from 0.01 of IWC allowed for a singular artifact OR location to be deployed, and playing another simply destroyed the previous, which isn't how it worked in IW1. We've now got it set up correctly to allow a singular location, and as many artifacts as you can handle, replicating the IW1 gameplay style.

Decking Out

We've changed decking out to work similarly to how it did in IWC, with each card drawn after reaching zero in deck resulting in 10 morale damage to the player.

• Using Agent Coyle's hero power in the mirror match no longer causes an error
