We've been tirelessly working for the past few months to release patch 1.1.0, our biggest update yet.

There are tons of new features that are mentioned in the patch notes such as:

• The Introduction of the new Area, with the King of Vengeance as its leader. A new mini bosses and multiple new encounters and what we're also very much excited about, the first Elite enemy of the game: The Dunestalker. A very interesting, tough fight but totally optional for extra rewards.
  
• New and fun cards.
  
• A much more robust tutorial.
  
• The Introduction of a post-defeat Hub where the player will get to choose between multiple different fun perks for the next run. This massively changed the way we are playing the game!
  
• Massive UI improvement.
  
• Enhanced performance and a massive reduction in loading times.
  
• Reskin of a lot of NPC and enemies, and most importantly, reskin of the main characters.
  
• Complete card rework, we made sure to make them look better and much easier to read on smaller monitors.
  
• Support for 2k and 4k resolution.
  
• General bug fixes.

There are also many smaller features that you will probably notice. Our two highest priorities were to stick to our roadmap that we have previously established and to answer a lot of player feedback and concerns.

We will keep on working to always make the game better and your feedback was our number one motivator!

The next step would be to keep following the roadmap and post regular rolling updates.

Enjoy the game!

Happy new year everyone!

Hello!

A last, small update for 2022:

0.858 -> 0.859
- Screen space reflections deprecated. (high performance cost, for little visual improvement)
- Changed trade volume effect on resource demand. This should make prices less affected by large trade volumes, especially in large cities.
- Rewired controller customization asset updated. This could possibly address issues with control customization.
- Upper class 3x3 third density residential buildings added.

I've removed the screen space reflections option, as it is both costly in terms of performance, but offers little in the way of visual fidelity. It was also not functional on all OS:es.





I've updated the rewired controller mapper to ensure it is up to date and bug free.

The last remaining 3x3 buildings have been added in. This is the third density upper class buildings.





Lastly, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year!

There were some small bugfixes. I also added a new achievement.

To round out the end of 2022, we've decided to get a small hotfix out with some client side improvements. We've taken a small break from the balance changes for the fall, but we will be resuming that later in January.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support, and we hope to see you all in 2023!

• Added a display popup that shows what spell, relic, champion, or equipment the opponent has played. This can be turned off in the Options menu if so desired

• Added some more flair to the login screen

• Fixed a number of missing messages that would appear as things like "ability.stone_barrage.activate" in the combat log. Please report these as you see them in the #bugs channel of the discord.
  
• Updated various text to reflect changes made in recent updates

This patch should cover a few major bugs and crashes, as well as take care of some smaller issues that were easy enough to tackle:

• Various audio bugs fixed
  
• M24 sniper rifle: implemented reload sounds and updated suppressed and unsuppressed sounds
  
• Screen-Space Global Illumination (SSGI) turned off for "Low" and "Medium" post-process settings
  
• Loadout apocalypse: all loadouts kit version numbers increased, so all old loadouts will no longer be visible or loadable in V1033. This will hopefully fix some kit-related crashes and issues with cloud saves; more fixing to come!

🔵 Role calls for character voice actors: I will most definitely be opening casting roles for character voice actors so stay tuned!

🟣Addition of translations: most of you requested that translation to be added and that's exactly what i will work on! I will also be casting role calls for that

🔵More giveaways or contests

🟣Extra content: such as artbooks, extra comics, or story books. They will most likely be paid content! ... and may be included as the giveaway or contest prizes👀...

🔵Role calls for colorists: to speed up my production process and to avoid being burnt out, I will ask for help regarding coloring, so stay tuned for that
