The first major content update for Necronator: Dead Wrong lands on the 5th of March: the Infinity Update!


Hey Necromancers! The Chubat says hi, by the way.

We've been taking your feedback on board and putting it into action: we've made 4 updates to Necronator: Dead Wrong in the week it's been available. We've tweaked balance, added enemies and cards, and more. But that has been relatively small potatoes next to what's coming! Now it's time to get ready for the first major update we promised in our Early Access roadmap.

The Infinity Update will add:

• Endless Conquest: So you've assembled a formidable deck and smashed Lord Balderdash... can you do it again? Take a deck back into a harder New Game+ run and see how long you can last. We think Endless Conquest will make Necronator: Dead Wrong even more fun while we await the Second Campaign, coming soon.
  
• Revamped Enemy Reinforcement system: We've heard you loud and clear: some folks think Enemy Reinforcements aren't fun right now. We're tackling that head-on and we'll have a new spin on long-running battles on March 5th.

PLUS!

• More Maps
  
• More Balance Tweaks
  
• New Cards
  
• New Relics
  
• More UI Improvements
  
• A necromantic secret (?)

All that and more in the FREE Infinity Update!

We're gearing up to wow you with the Infinity Update on March 5th, but that doesn't mean that there won't be smaller updates between now and then: expect a smaller update early next week with a new post-run reward screen, some balance tweaks, and a couple of new cards!

If you're going to be at PAX East, come on down to the Modern Wolf booth! You can play Necronator: Dead Wrong there, but also the newly-announced Kosmokrats and the soon-to-be-released Ostranauts!

Be sure to follow Modern Wolf and Toge Productions on Twitter for all the latest.

Cheers, from Toge Productions and Modern Wolf!

Fixed minor misprints in Russian and English versions.

Last few months have been pretty crazy for us at the office. Not only have we added some new features to the game but we've also got cross-platform support up and running. You can head over here to see what new platforms we've expanded to.


Furthermore No Time to Relax has been selected to the PAX East Indie Showcase. We'll be there with a booth so drop by, say hello and pick up some schwag if you are attending PAX!

Now let's get to the updated and changes!

• Cross-Platform: Game is now running on a new and different network than before. We made this migration to offer and support cross-platform play between PC and consoles. Head on over here to our web page to see what platforms we expanded into.
  
• Japanese: Game is now enjoyable in Japanese! We recommend you try it out, even if you don’t speak the language!
  
• Transport: Tired of walking everywhere you go? Visit VexCorp™ and purchase one of their patented transportation technologies. You can get lifetime access to the town’s Vexportation networks, a lifestyle VexScooter™ or the Nikola™ Electric Vehicle. Spend less time getting around and spend your time on things that matter.
  
• Weekend Cards: Added new transport themed weekend cards.
  
• VexPhone: VexCorp made history this year when they introduced the VexPhone, the world’s first “smart” phone. It comes equipped with an intuitive touch screen and the most powerful antenna ever put on a phone. This phone allows you pay with items using the money in your bank account. Being in constant contact with your broker is also a sure way to increase any profits you get from your investments.
  
• Investments: Investments have been buffed to make them more appealing. When you make money off investments you now multiply your profit (but not losses). If you own a VexPhone your multiplier is increased even further!

• Resolution fixes: Fixed how screen resolution is handled in game. We’ve fixed it so the game in now playable in Fullscreen, Windowed and Windowed Fullscreen. Support for all kinds of weird and exotic screen ratios now included. Also fixed bug where wrong items were selected in the graphics menu.
  
• Code Invites: Added the ability to invite people to online games using a four-letter code. This is especially useful when playing cross platform private matches. (not available in all regions)
  
• Zombie bug: Zombie muggers can no longer steal the money you get from your aunt.
  
• Retina Support: Added retina support for Mac.
