Calling our UK pals: The Star Trucker's demo will be playable at EGX London, from October 12th to 15th.



If you plan to attend, you'll find us at the Rezzed area (stand RZ14B). Come play the demo, take home some merch and maybe have a chat with the devs, if you come across them.

This one is another small bugfix patch, fixing a few bug reports that have accumulated over time.

- Endless: Since a few versions, retired endless runs would not save properly into the statistics tab. This should no longer be the case.
- Campaign: A mission completed with exactly 0 score would not count as complete for the purposes of progression. The game should now properly let you through with no additional gatekeeping.
- Seed selection: If you went into ranked mode, then back to main menu, then into standard, and if the sector type for that week's ranked was not unlocked for standard play, you'd *sometimes* get in a weird state where the game would auto-select a locked sector type for you, which would result in a confusing UI experience. Possibly even more confusing than this bug description.

This patch brings the version numbers up to "v1.3 (b1109)" on Windows and "v1.3 (b1110)" on Mac.

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for playing and enjoying Isle of Swaps so far. The reception has been great to hear.
Before all the feedback, I want to ask if you noticed the new images around Steam for Isle of Swaps? These have been drawn by Juan Zambrano who has illustrated a load of cards for the game. Noticeably one of Dina's starters: Aguatto. (Did you pick Aguatto as your starter btw?) I love Juan's art style and with his work on the cards it was an easy choice to ask him to draw the cover art too. Even after the cards and cover art, he's still up for more cards!

So now for the main bulk of this update: I've listened to feedback and watched people play the demo and I've been working on some changes to make the game even better!
It really boils down into 2 main categories, the first is:



What were the problems with deckbuilding?

• Critters added 3 skills to the battle deck which meant less room for the player to customise the deck
  
• Players only used the 3 skills that came with the Critters and didn't add other cards or only added stickers
  
• The above lent itself to the strategy of having a small deck to repeatedly use the same cards
  
• Players wanted to use rare critters but found their available deck shrinking limited that
  
• Cards you wanted to use were hard to come across and required you to give up a lot to swap for them

Those are some serious issues for a deckbuilder game, huh?
Here's what I've changed and you can play with right now

• Critters no longer add skills to your deck
  
• For every Critter added to your battle team, at least 6 Skill Cards need to be added too
  
• Skill Cards and Sticker Cards have separate slots
  
• You start with 10 Sticker slots but the rarity of, and how many, Critters you use reduces that
  
• Trainers you swap with will always have at least 1 Skill Card of every type
  
• The value of cards has decreased so you give up less to swap
  
• Trainers will now ask for a specific type of card (fire critters/water skills) and your swap will be more valuable if you offer those cards
  
• The starter deck now has extra copies of basic Energy and Attack cards for more swap fodder
  
• There's a second booster pack that's cheaper and filled with basic Energy and Attack cards

So basically, all 18 slots can be used for skills, with 10 separate slots for stickers. Stickers are still reduced based on how rare your Critters are as they're more powerful. And with the changes to swapping, it should be way easier to find cards you can use and then feel less punishing to get them.


But that's not all! There have also been some changes to:


This is really just 1 big change and that is that Defence now benefits Status Effects. This stemmed from defensive Critters not needing any Skill Cards to do well. They essentially worked as punching bags and due to (usually) low Power, they didnt need to attack. And conversely, every Critter could use Status Effects equally well, so a high Power Critter is good at damage and Status Effects.

Exactly how attack cards use Critters Power + a damage value on the card, Skill Cards that inflict status effects now add the Critters Defence to that. Defence now boosts Heals and stacks of Burn, Soak, Shock and Poison. If you look at the header, Prinleaf has 5 Defence (and 2 Power), and the Healing Petals card now Heals [Defence+3], so a Prinleaf using this heals 8 damage to her team!

Now high Defence Critters are usable as Status Effect appliers which I hope adds more variety to team building.

Another impactful update is how Power and Defence are changed throughout the battle. Before Power and Defence either went up by 2 or down by 2 and that buff lasted X amount of turns. But now it's a sliding scale between -3 and +3 for 3 turns. This means if you gain +1 Power from a card it'll last for 3 turns. Use the card again and you'll have +2 Power with the effect refreshing back to 3 turn duration.

• Dina's ability is different: Any card she offers for a swap has increased value. Swapmaster!
  
• When one of your Critters is defeated all cards of its element are removed from your deck (if you dont have another Critter of the same type). No more dud hands.
  
• Losing battles only takes 1 Critter off you, instead of your whole team
  
• Skill Cards now replace the [Power +3]/[Defence +1] etc on the card with the correct number when you hover the card over a Critter
  
• Spot Effects now stack if the card is played again
  
• The Battle Deck can be edited in the Shop and during Swaps
  
• The Battle Deck orders your cards by type
  
• Each type is weak to 2 other types. It's now easier to know what the enemy is potentially weak to
  
• Status Effect tooltips show up wherever the cards do
  
• All the buttons have text on them to help playing

It's a huge list and there's still more! If you want to see all the changes that have gone into the demo then you can see the patch notes here

It's been just over a month since the demo launched and I've been beavering away in that time improving the game based on what you've been saying. To see the broad strokes, click here to see the main changes to this update.

Here's the full list in the detailed bullet point format

• -Each Critter adds no skill cards to the deck
  
• -Winning a Wild Critter fight gives both the Critter and a Skill Card (a skill card that wouldve been attached to them)
  
• -NPCs now offer more cards for swapping
  
• -NPCs now have at least 1 skill card of each type so they'll always have something you may want
  
• -NPCs will always offer a common/uncommon of each type with a chance of an additional rare
  
• -The Battle deck now requires you to add 6 skill cards for each Critter you add (1=6 deck cards total/ 2=12 deck cards total/ 3=18 deck cards total)
  
• -Stickers are now given their own slots starting at 8 stickers and reducing based upon the rarity of critters you're using
  
• -The player now starts with 3 copies of each energy and attack card. Assuming 2 is the most a player would usually need, this frees up more swapping fodder
  
• -The Enerttack Pak has been added to Booster Machines which contain energy cards and the basic attack cards
  
• -With the addition of the Enerttack Pak, energy and basic attack cards have been removed from the regular booster pack

• -Heal, Burn, Poison, Shock, Soak are now affected by the Critters Defence
  
• -Except on common cards where it remains a static value
  
• -Status effects based on turns like power/defence up/down, taunt, stun/dodge/immunity etc are unaffected
  
• -The aim of this is to make defensive Critters more useful in battle as they become more proficient at healing and using status effects
  
• -Power and Defence changes are now on a sliding scale of -3 to +3 and all those buffs/debuffs last 3 turns
  
• -Instead of the length of power/defence up/down, the cards now change in intensity
  
• -Cards from your hand update their text when hovering them over a Critter to show how much damage or status effect will be done
  
• -Cards that the enemy will use will always show these updated numbers
  
• -Burn damage no longer spreads on reaching 5 burn
  
• -Reduced Soak damage from 2 to 1
  
• -Additional description of Stickers on the Stickers page of the battle deck
  
• -Removed the Swap buttons on the overworld. Pointless
  
• -The wild Critters you find are now properly based on the progress through act. No more wild Rares in act 1.

• -The starter deck now has an additional skill card that generates energy+does an effect in it.
  
• -Each element type now only has 2 weaknesses to make it easier to counterpick trainers
  
• -Opponents now have a certain type of card they want and your swap value will be boosted if you offer those to them
  
• -Dina's ability now works. She gains +1 Swap value on every card swapped. Wow!
  
• -Enemies now use more skill cards in Act 2 and 3 so the game should be a bit tougher
  
• -Having a critter get defeated now removes all skill cards of its element from the battle (if its the only one left of that type)
  
• -This can lead to a very specific situation where all skill cards are removed, and the player just loses in this scenario
  
• -Losing a battle now only takes 1 critter card and a life from you instead of all critters.
  
• -The binder contents buttons now skip to the first card you own from that category (if you own a card in that category)
  
• -The battle deck can now be viewed and edited whilst swapping
