Friend Referrals

We've added a new way to earn Gold and Seasonal Achivement Points. Players now have a unique referral code that can be given to new players to enter when creating an account. This links the two accounts, and when the new player earns at least 50,000 XP or purchases our Premium Mastery Track, both players will earn rewards. The new player will earn 2,500 Gold, and the referring player player will earn 500 Gold and 500 Seasonal Achievement Points for their first 10 referrals, and 1000 Gold and 1000 Seasonal Achievement Points for each referral thereafter. View the "Friends" menu in-game to track your referred friends, claim rewards, and get more information.

Trigger Visual Updates

We are continuing to update and improved SolForge Fusion visuals game gameplay. We heard your feedback about our last visual update and have reduced the amount of screen shaking when playing cards. As a next step in improving the game, we've overhauled the way that triggers appear during gameplay. Triggers will now appear above the creature or player that created them. Triggers from destroyed creatures will now appear from the banish pile. Once you'fve selected a trigger to resolve, all other triggers should disappear so that you can view the full board for the selected trigger. We believe this will help clarify where triggers are originating and better communicate what's happening during gameplay.

Bug Fixes

• Rumblespark Energy transforming into Embodiment on Spirit Golem Conclave should now trigger the
  attack buff.
  
• Pipwick Level 3 now steals Electronet and gives the appropriate targets.
  
• Creature being reanimated after being webbed should no longer have the webbed and defender icon.
  
• Updated new hand animations, reduced the shake of playing cards.
  
• Changed the red lettered Done on turn button to be white lettered Skip.
  
• Fixed betrayer icons that weren’t showing properly on some cards.
  
• Fixed an issue allowing forgeborn to be switched mid campaign.
  
• Attempted a fix for cards disappearing when action is undone.
  
• Attempted fix for Badges window covering up the game timer in multiplayer.

Commanders, we just updated our roadmap outlining the next update(s) for Survivor Mercs:



We will be highlighting some of these upcoming features in more detail soon, especially the main content of the next major update, "Strike Force".

We are well-aware that there are still some rough edges in the current gameplay & meta. In order to tackle that, we call for your support! So please read on and help us make a better game by leaving your feedback:

We had this planned for quite some time and are happy to finally share that you will be able to squad-up with friends & family soon!

Other players will be able to join your squad and take control of any Merc to fight M.E.G.A. Corps' robot goons alongside with you. It is going to be a "hotseat"-like mode, so others can just join and leave your session on your local machine with an additional controller at any time.

Apart from playing locally, the game will support Steam Remote Play Together. So you can enjoy some looting & shooting even when your support is not sitting on the couch next to you.

We always wanted to feature the Mercs more prominently and at the same time improve the meta progression by tying new unlocks more tightly to certain achievements and milestones in the game.

With the upcoming Mission system, we're looking to reduce the grind and provide a smoother unlock progression while sprinkling in a bit more narrative flavor throughout the game.

The Story Missions will be tied into your Operations and impact your tactical choices when progressing through the map stages. Alongside your mission rewards, we want to adjust unlocks and potentially introduce some new items like Gear & Weapons.

[color=orange]Here's where your feedback comes into play:[/color]

• We want to learn more about how you're playing the game and why you make certain choices.
  
• Which Mercs do you enjoy and why?
  
• What Gear and Weapons are you using regularly?
  
• Do you mainly play with random Commanders or prefer custom Trait configurations?
  
• Which meta upgrades and Rooms do you prefer?
  
• Where did you struggle with the meta progression and why?

We have a good idea where WE think things should be adjusted. But we want to understand better what YOU want. So please join our Discord server to share your ideas and feedback, or hop over to the Steam forums.



Ever wondered how Silverback would look like if he was a real gorilla?



Soon you'll be able to change and share much of the game's content. It's technically not a full modding support (yet), but we think you'll have as much fun with it as we do.

We're also looking to expand the Settings, specifically with Input Remapping and a few other options to adjust the game more to your liking. This will go hand-in-hand with some general input improvements and UI polishing. [color=orange]What settings do you want to see in the game?[/color]

Overall, we're looking to polish the game experience as we're preparing for a v1.0 launch. That's the reason why we're also looking to offer a new demo for the game and recruit more Commanders for the fight against M.E.G.A. Corp. Some of the top items on our polishing list are:

• improving the meta progression & player experience
  
• crafting better VFX, sound and overall nicer visuals
  
• adjusting the map stages to offer variety and a nice balance between longer and shorter challenges
  
• tweaking or creating new Mercs, Gear, Weapons, Enemies, and Traits to foster fun synergies
  
• and, of course, fixing any remaining bugs.

[color=orange]If you want us to focus on specific issues[/color] that you have with the game, join our Discord or post to the Steam forums to help us make a better game.

Lock, load, and loot, Commanders!

Hi all! Thank you all for your support, and thank you for playing Skin Deep. Here are further fixes in this Hotfix02 update:

---

The wiregrenade weapon had a bug in its save-load system.

The wiregrenade had a typo in its save-load logic, that was accidentally saving-loading an incorrect piece of information. This is now fixed!

There was a bug where the render system would behave strangely when alt+tabbing out of the game while using a fullscreen GUI (such as the email screen or level selector).

This was due to some logic that made the game render the 3D environment and 3D elements in the GUI at the same time, which made the graphics renderer unhappy. This is now fixed!

There was a bug where opening the memorypalace in outer space put the player into a strange state.

This happened because we have some logic where we close the memorypalace when the player jumps (goes airborne). However, when the player was floating around in outer space, the player was being considered always airborne. This is now fixed!

This was a bug where loading the game sometime resulted in the game audio becoming very quiet/muted.

The game does "audio ducking", where in order to make dialogue more audible, we temporarily lower the volume of ambient/environmental sounds. The save-load system wasn't fully cooperating with this. This is now fixed!

We had a crash in certain levels when the language was set to Brazilian Portuguese.

Passwords in the game are randomized. In text notes, special characters are used to represent them. For example, in a text note: "Hello, the password is %s%s%s%s", the '%s' characters are replaced with the password letters you see in the game. The bug here is that one extra '%s' was accidentally added, resulting in a crash. This is now fixed!

We added some missing credits in the opening credits sequence.

Some people were experiencing render issues with specific video cards. This is now fixed!

Thanks for reading. Enjoy Skin Deep!
