Hey everyone, it's patch day again!

This patch brings a lot of back end changes for stability and future content.
While not too exciting on the content side, this is necessary to ensure quality and flexibility.

Slay the Spire is getting more and more popular! For all you new players, welcome! For all of you previous players, we would sincerely like to thank you for spreading the word. Thank you! It means a lot that you enjoy our game and spread the agony of defeat accomplished feeling of victory!

Yes, lots of exciting things are happening behind the scenes. Progress continues for the enigmatic 3rd character and leaderboards are coming soon(tm). Those in the beta branch have been a great help and we hope that we can feed your competitive needs in the next week.

When you run this week's build, your save data will be copied from the original directory (.prefs) to the new directory found in the game directory in a new "preferences" folder (betaPreferences for beta). Yes, this will diverge beta and non-beta save data.

This solves anti-virus false positives, full disk errors, and allows us to utilize Steam Auto-Cloud.

Your saves are now synced between computers! Please be careful not to overwrite your main save. If this occurs, the data is recoverable- there will be extra steps posted in the Bugs & Crashes FAQ in the Steam Discussions.

This weekly patch brings BETA-level localization for Korean.
Here's a quick refresher on how to change your language!



We're still looking for community translators! Any and all help for translations are greatly appreciated. Just stop by the official Slay the Spire Discord's localization channel.

Hey, we hope everyone has had a good restful break. But it's time to get back to work, and that means back to weekly patches!

This weekly patch brings BETA-level localization for:

• Chinese (Traditional)
  
• French
  
• German
  
• Japanese
  
• Russian

We're lacking in community translators! If you're willing to give us a hand (see the image above), stop by the official Slay the Spire Discord's localization channel. Thank you all in advance!

Our open beta testers have probably noticed that we have begun work on leaderboards as well! We hope to get that shiny and stable soon.

• New green card, Nightmare. Description withheld for spoiler reasons.

• Book of Stabbing elite nerf. Has 8 less HP and a new move that deals 21 damage. While doing this move, the multi-stab doesn't increase in stab count.

• The Mystic gets new animations.
  
• Wheel of Change event now has art.
  
• Actions such as shuffling your deck should now be faster as it no longer waits for the cards to fly into the deck.
  
• Calling Bell's relic reward screen must now be closed before proceeding. This prevents accidentally skipping them- also mimics Tiny House and Orrery's UI.
  
• Cards that create Wounds and others into your deck/discard now take considerably less time.
  
• Cards within Bottles should now show up if they appear on a grid-based select screen (such as upgrade screen)

• Cleaning up some of the Neow reward language to be more consistent.
  
• Draw Pile is now Sorted by Rarity and card name when viewing (rather than randomized)
  
• Hotkey for Discard Pile added. Press S during combat.

• Eviscerate's cost now correctly decreases when it is discarded.
  
• Fixed bug where Achievements say they are hidden even when they are unlocked.
  
• Fixed crash when attempting to upgrade at an event when you have no cards that can upgrade.
  
• Fixed odd crash when loading into a boss room if it's your 3rd boss fight ever.
  
• Fixed typo for Cleric event. Wandering -> Wondering.
  
• Little gremlins no longer yell about escaping if they're dead. Corpses don't yell.
  
• Loading a save during combat should now show consistent HP, AI, and starting deck.
  
• Looter + Mugger fight no longer allows you to steal back extra gold if you ran out of gold.
  
• Potential fix for fast drag and drop card play not triggering card effects sometimes.
  
• Reaper now heals as part of the attack now, not after (you heal before thorns hit you).
  
• Runic Cube now triggers off of Thorns as intended.
  
• slime like -> slime-like.
  
• Thievery Power now has correct name being applied to the Power.
  
• View Upgrade toggle now line breaks (as some languages the text goes off screen).
  
• When abandoning a run from the Main Menu, fixed an issue where Neow wouldn't bless even if you reached the boss.
  
• When abandoning a run from the Main Menu, it now counts as a loss in your statistics.

Hello, it's that time of the week again.

Firstly, we'd like to address that we're working hard on getting localization into the game! We're getting community translations soon, and shortly after that - official translations! The languages that will be coming in this first pass are:

• Chinese (Simplified)
