Hello There,

Todays build has only a few small changes.

- Rats and Attack Bats now have more hit points
- Skullbats (boss bats) will drop ammo or hearts (previously coin)
- Level Up has HUD/VFX/SFX event now to feel more impactful (still poorly communicates rewards)
- Additional Minor Tuning and Bug Fixes throughout

I will be tuning some of the weapons, especially the mace and dual-sword which are quite limited and feel crude. The shield will probably employ a timing mechanic. It is pointed out to be very OP.

Coming up, I want to further tune the NPCs to attempt to make combat more interesting.

I may be introducing a few smarter/challenging enemy types and/or extending content soon. As requested.

I am lagging on the camera work still but I think it will really help out with issues facing the boss battle.

Thanks for the feedback! It really helps, I hope you can feel the impact you are having, I definitely do!

-Brandon

Hello to all the train enthusiasts! (◕‿◕)

First of all, we want to say: "¡Gracias, México!" Your incredible enthusiasm has truly impressed us, and we are immensely grateful! We also noticed how much easier it became for many of you to play in your native language, so we will continue translating the game into more languages!

The next patch will be all about new content, bringing exciting new acts and even more adventures. The wait is almost over, but in the meantime, here is our second major patch to keep you entertained!

What's New:
● Added three new localizations: French, Korean, and Japanese! If you come across any errors — feel free to let us know, and we'll fix them!
● Some endings have been adjusted to make them easier to achieve. We understand that some randomness was a bit frustrating, so... here you go ^_^.

Bug Fixes:
● Fixed some strange repetition issues to make the game more enjoyable.
● Updated the interface to ensure all languages display correctly.
● Some objects wandered off to incorrect layers, but we've put them back in place.
● Added a bit of optimization to prevent sudden performance drops!

Don’t forget to log out and log back into Steam to get the update!

Thank you for your support.

Who likes leaderboards? We do! Since gazing mesmerised at the Commando high score table in a pub in Malvern and listening to that music that just says "enter your name please" - leaderboards have been an integral part of how we see the form and function of videogames.

3DDMR lends itself to leaderboards so easily because of its endurance based numerical score nature. But not every leaderboard is score!

With this update every game mode, every coin collected - chances are they have their own leaderboard.

Enjoy!

• Fixed a bug where the total time of the campaign wasn't being stored correctly.

UI/UX:

Garage and ship selection are now quickly accessible during gameplay
Improved controller support for better navigation, including button icons
Fixed and updated several translation texts, including mission names
Various other minor improvements

With Kira Seine moving out of beta, we wanted to briefly talk about her history and design. Crown is a game about constantly changing your build. To encourage that, each enemy is designed to be a unique threat that incentivizes certain types of deckbuilding.

Amaya Everill was formerly responsible for the entirety of the block manipulation theme. However, this didn't really encourage you to build your deck in a specific way. Cards like Assassinate would punish you for blocking, while Shuriken Barrage would punish you for not blocking. We decided to split this theme into two separate characters. Amaya still uses the various piercing attacks, while Kira now has cards with additional effects when fully unblocked. This means that a deck that's effective against Amaya is unlikely to perform well against Kira.

Based on testing of last week's beta patch, Kira is effectively fulfilling her new role in Restless Parish. As a result, we are implementing her directly with no changes to her deck.

Version 0.62.1, the updated version of the previous beta build, is now live on all branches.

---

Version v0.62.1
-Tweaked the order that end-of-turn effects trigger in. (Regeneration now triggers before Burn, for example.)
-Updated the appearance of all buff/debuff icons.
-Updated checkbox aesthetics.
-Added hover and click SFX to the equipment menu.
-Fixed a bug where Decapitate counted as non-Attack damage for the Dragoon's Comet achievement.

Oops I broke it and I fixed it.
