Hello! How is it going, friends?

We are glad to introduce our newest update! Some really cool stuff is awaiting you there

NEW

• We've added a lot of new items to the museum! Listing them will take a lot of space, so we'll include pictures with some of them.
  
• Two new islands are now available: Silver Lake and Land of the Ghosts! Land of the Ghosts is inhabited by really powerful creatures, so make sure to come prepared. And Silver Lake is THE fishing island *wink wink*.
  
• New creatures: Ancient Golems. They are slow, but strong and resistant. There are 3 different types of them, so prepare for a tough fight.
  
• New vehicles: Scooter and Quadricycle! They are really fast and cool, so make sure to prepare a big garage for them.
  
• We've added new items to the Combat Bench: Boots, Shields, and Accessories! Shields will provide a passive defence bonus and accessories can do a variety of things, from increasing your HP to making you character more resistant to different deliberations.

CHNAGES

• Added some texts when you interact with Vacancy House and Staff House, just to show what they are;
  
• Quest log is now in the top-left corner of the screen.

- Steam Achievements for Chapter 2 and for the Prequel
- Preview of saved games
- Autosave (2 slots, saved in every 5 minutes)

- The game audio consumes less memory

- Fleet including welder cannot attack

Reduced the difficulty of the following missions (significant change in Story mod, slight change in Hard Mode):
- Chapter 1 Mission 5 "Convoy to Salvation"
- Chapter 2 Mission 12 "Death Blow"

Note: the changes above are applied to the demo version as well

1. Throwing a sphere now swaps positions with the player after a set amount of time, whether or not collided.
   
2. After teleporting, the player may enter a 'phase' state for a while and float in the air.
   
3. You can throw a blink card by pressing the trigger in the 'phase' state.
   
4. When a thrown card collides with the ground, it pulls the player to that spot.
   
5. Cards are lightweight and fly straight, but lose their effectiveness if they are more than 5m away from the player.
   
6. If you press the jump key in the 'phase' state, it will immediately cancel the phase state.

The structure of some sections that are not suitable for the changed game style has been remodeled.

Changed the key to call the menu drone to 'Right Controller - Stick (UP)'.

Hi everyone! Like (almost) every week here comes...

Dear Denizens of Issilith!

Do you know what is the second favourite card amongst Phageborn developers? It is no more and no less than our very own Father Nature, Sumac! The reasoning behind it? Well, let's see what our team members have to say about this...

Favourite card: Sumac
Even though Sumac is technically a Deadwood, he is under no circumstances useless. In his eyes, all those living things, both plants and creatures, are alike. Everything is connected to the Great Tree. We are merely spawns of its seeds. And as such, it is Sumac's fatherly duty to bring everyone back on the right path. His right path.

Sumac is a Vestige unit that costs 6 essence. With its stats at 4/4, it may not be the first choice you might make. But if you take into account his effect, which allows you to target a local friendly unit on play and make two 0/3 adjacent copies of it, it becomes much more clear why this is, in fact, a legendary card. Don't be afraid to experiment with it! Especially if you have some other cards with cool effects in your deck. The possibilities are almost limitless.



Team member: Danijel Dragičević (Lead Frontend Developer)
Why: „Sumac, while not very strong himself, allows many crazy strategies and combos. Creating copies of other (even legendary) cards that have strong effects instead of stats, breaks free of the copies per deck limit, and when pulled off correctly, can turn many games into your favour. It feels amazing to play since it fills an entire zone if there is a target, intimidating opponents. Lastly, it mixes well with many cards, making it a versatile tool for offence, defence, and utility. That's why Sumac is a cornerstone in my Vestige decks.“

Team member: Antonio Vujasinović (UI/UX Designer)
Why: Bringing both the visual and practical perks together, Sumac has it all. The card art looks AMAZING, and not just that, it also enables hilarious combos, making the game even more enjoyable!
