Hello Realmers,

In this week’s public testing, you will have the opportunity to see a glimpse of our new feature - Dungeon Difficulties.

We have already explained briefly, but for those who missed it - This is a new system we will be introducing to stretch the lifetime of dungeons in a player’s journey. It will offer veteran players a chance to push their limits and seek out greater rewards, such as engravings.
Difficulty 10 Steamworks

We will introduce the new difficulty dungeons gradually and Steamworks will be the first dungeon to get a more difficult version.

For simplicity, we will call the harder version of Steamworks - Difficulty 10 Steamworks. The goal is to be of a similar level to the Shatters once the work on it is completed.

Difficulty 10 Steamworks consists of a 15 % increase in the HP of all enemies and a 25 % increase in the damage of projectiles. On top of this, you will see various changes to the behaviors of enemies, obstacles and a new survival phase at the end of the Boss fight.

This will be the first of a few Public Testing and it’s important to understand that this is still a work in progress so your feedback will be appreciated and help to shape the feature!

Some of our next dungeons on the list for getting new harder versions are Nest, Lost Halls, and Fungal Cavern.

We anticipate launching this system prior to the Realm Rework, but it should truly shine once the Realm Rework is in effect. Until then, we plan for encounters to drop both Normal and Harder versions for the newly revised dungeons with higher difficulty tiers. A new key will also be introduced for the Difficulty 10 versions of these dungeons.

When the system is fully developed, a lot of the dungeons can have more than just the base difficulty. Some of them can have an easier or harder setting, or perhaps both. The system will be complimentary to Realm Rework and you will be able to find different difficulty-level dungeons in different parts of the realm. This way, you can choose the level of challenge that suits your skill and mood!

As part of this Public Testing, we invite you to explore the following portals in Nexus: the Difficulty 10 Steamworks and the Difficulty 10 Steamworks Boss Room. Enjoy and let us know your thoughts!

For those of you that took part in our recent demo or that have watched our trailers this location will be familiar. But it didn't always look like this...



Way back when we first started development on Luna Abyss, way back in 2019, this area started out as just a concept sketch.



Then as we started building out the levels it got a very basic starting structure.





That we built on.



And built on.



Until we get to the version that you see today. Personally, I think our art team did a fantastic job. What do you think?

A new Skirmish event is live now until May 21st!

Here’s everything you need to know.

Skirmish is a special game mode in KARDS where you play with alternate rules. These rules vary; you’ll face something different at every Skirmish event. Read more about Skirmishes in our announcement blog New game mode: Skirmish.

In this Skirmish, you choose your own deck to battle with, but your selected deck cannot contain any Order cards. Damage dealt to a HQ is reduced by the number of units friendly to the HQ on the battlefield, and HQs start with a defense of 8.

The prize for your first victory in this Skirmish is a random card pack!

Access the Skirmish event from the game's main screen to get an overview of the game mode, rules and prize.

This Skirmish is accessible from May 19th at 12:00 GMT until Sunday, May 21st at 18:00 GMT.

Join this special event - win your Skirmish to claim victory and the spoils!

Please let us know what you think of the event in the comments below or on the KARDS Discord.

See you in the Skirmish this weekend!

🌊 For The Old Man and His Cat, we decided to set the game in a charming town near the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.



🌞 Our inspiration comes from the captivating beauty of the Mediterranean coastline, where most of our team is located or grew up. Imagine narrow cobblestone streets lined with vibrant houses adorned with plants while the scent of salty sea air fills the atmosphere.






🏘️ As players navigate through the town, they will encounter various locations, each with its own distinct charm. From the small town's cove to the interior of the local houses, every corner of the town holds its own secrets and surprises.




🧡 The main pillar of the game is a heartwarming story that follows the journey of a stray cat and an old man and the town serves as a backdrop for their adventures, creating a warm and immersive experience for players to enjoy.




🆕 We are excited to share more about this upcoming video game as its development progresses. Follow our social media channels and website for the latest news, concept art reveals, and behind-the-scenes insights.

🐈 Join us as we embark on this journey together, exploring the beauty of the Mediterranean and the heartwarming connection between a cat and an old man. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this town to life. We can't wait to share this unforgettable experience with you all! -
