Hi everybody,

After three years, the time has finally come for the full release. Thank you for your patience and the many great ideas you've supported me with. Of course, development will continue—I have quite a long list of ideas and content that can still fit into this game. Here's a brief summary of what changes compared to Early Access.

Graphic overhaul

The 3D graphics and 99% of the user interface have been replaced. The armor and weapon 3D models remained but received new textures. This is a one-person project with a minimal budget, though for some essential tasks, such as animations, I hired contractors.

Hybrid class

While in early access only creatures belonging to the same class could be crossbred, now it is possible to crossbreed any creatures without limitations. The learnable abilities from each class are also accessible to hybrids if any of their ancestors belonged to that class.

Expeditions

It is possible to launch expeditions to discover new species. Certain species and their associated abilities can only be acquired this way. Expeditions are costly and dangerous undertakings. The further you travel, the greater the expense and danger you must anticipate. It is advisable first to assemble a strong team and accumulate sufficient funds.

New species and abilities

New species and abilities have been added. Currently, there are 44 species in the game from which new creatures can be created. However, about half of these species are only accessible through completing quests or embarking on expeditions.

Monsters can attack by biting or by using their tusks, claws, or tail spines.

Bite attack
The damage inflicted depends on the monster's bite strength.

Advantage:

• Bites can inflict elemental damage and poisoning.
  
• The passive abilities Life Steal and Energy Steal activate only during biting.

Disadvantage:

• If the opponent has spiny skin, poison skin, shock skin, or fire skin, the attacker will take damage.

Charge, Claw, and Tail Attacks
The damage inflicted depends on the monster's strength.

Advantage:

• Immunity to the opponent’s spiny skin, poison skin, shock skin, or fire skin.

Disadvantage:

• Cannot inflict elemental damage or poisoning.

New abilities:

• Charge
  
• Tail attack
  
• Energy leech
  
• Selfless healer
  
• Ultimate fury
  
• Family bond
  
• Flying
  
• Bleeding wound

Crafting

The list of craftable equipment has been expanded. It is now possible to create shields, bows, and magic staffs. Eleven new alloys have been introduced, each adding a new bonus to weapons or armor. The raw materials have been replaced with four distinct types of steel, each with its advantages and disadvantages.

Alchemists and blacksmiths no longer receive special skills randomly. Instead, they gain skill points upon reaching skill levels 10, 20, 30, and so forth. Players can spend skill points on their preferred special skills.

New character bonuses

Warrior

• Special quests to find camps of bandits, deserters and runaway slaves
  
• Weapon and armor

Archer

• Special quests to find caves
  
• Hunting Beast

After a great run in Early Access, Bodyguard Task Force is officially launching with Version 1.0!

Thanks again for playing and supporting Bodyguard Task Force! We're proud to leave Early Access — but this isn’t the end. More content is coming soon. Stay tuned!

First, thank you to everyone who has played Card Summoner during its first week on Steam. This project has been a labor of love, inspired by YGO: Forbidden Memories, while creating our own unique experience.

What we've heard so far

• Bugs at launch: Like any complex release, we shipped with more issues than we'd hoped. Hotfixes have gone out daily, and stability is already much better. We're sorry to those who hit the rough edges first.
  
• Card balance & synergy: A few cards feel underpowered or useless to some people. Once the major bugs are behind us and we are in maintenance mode we'll look into improving cards over time as we play and just enjoy the game.

________________________________________

Why we built the game

Story-based, single player CCGs are a tiny niche, precisely why we dove in. No one else was making the game we wanted to play, so we did. While we don't expect to see many other single-player CCGs out there, we hope others will create some too. We're happy with the experience we created and hope it shows.

Roadmap:

1.0.x - Quick fixes until 1.1.0.

1.1.0: In testing
• Smarter NPC decks to match the improved AI
• Effect fixes
• More balancing.

Beyond 1.1:
Monthly Regular maintenance patches: bug fixes, balance tweaks, QoL improvements.

We have no plans for multiplayer or paid DLC. If inspiration strikes, we may add content, but we won't make any promises.

________________________________________

A note on VR

The other spark behind Card Summoner was VR. We'd love to duel on a giant battlefield like Season 1 YGO, so we'll keep experimenting with a VR port - just a small battle area, nothing huge. This would be more of a fun side project for our own enjoyment. If it works out, we'll share it for free since it's super niche and just a small slice of the full game experience.

Again, thanks to everyone—whether you praised, critiqued, or simply played.

See you in Greenhaven!

1️⃣ Added Laundry Price Customization 💸: You can now change laundry prices on the pricing board! Just remember – it can only be adjusted before opening time each day, not during business hours.
2️⃣ Improved cash register usability 🪙: Enlarged the coin models during change-giving, making them much easier to click.
3️⃣ Disabled the in-game browser temporarily 🚫 due to crash issues reported by some players.
4️⃣ Daily summary screen has been enhanced with detailed info 📈: It now shows separate earnings from "Laundry" and "Product Sales."
5️⃣ Various UI improvements and polish 🎨 for a smoother experience.
6️⃣ Fixed a bug where the washer employee could get stuck near the cash register 🤖🔧.

My dearest friends, after a short break (and after taking care of other aspects of the game not quite glamorous enough to discuss) i can finally show you some gameplay footage! A lot of the mechanics that involve more than two players at once haven't been properly worked on yet, but now that i'm (mostly) done with the basics, taking care of those things should be no huge undertaking or anything like that.



My next update will come with the creation of a Steam page, but if in the meantime you wanna stay up to date with the development of Trauma Football and aren't particularly active in this platform, you can also follow me in any of these socials: https://linktr.ee/nuskadamo

See you next time!

• Fixed an issue where the exit from the prologue cave to Brea Forest could not be interacted with directly.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Green Leaf Guild quest could not be accessed from the sewer in Golden Harbor.
  
• Fixed an issue where the delivery target was lost in the delivery quest, causing an error when loading the save file.
  
• Fixed an issue where the crafting window did not correctly display the time required for crafting.
  

Green Town:
Journey to the Roots: Fixed an issue where the performance would become abnormal after handing the materials to Rona.
Journey to the Roots: Fixed an issue where Avery's reward would not disappear after choosing to fight Rona.

Northerners' Arena:
Conflict at the River's End: Fixed an issue where the quest could not be completed at the Guildmaster after finishing Asbin's gladiatorial match.

We have just released Hotfix 4 for Update 16: The Titan Hunt! This is the smallest hotfix so far however the most important! In short, we have one change:


Not all players would experience this issue before, but if you were running into crashes with the game, please make sure to try version 16c5 (you can check in the top left corner of your screen), and if the issue persists for you, please do let us know!

We really appreciate your patience and we hope that this tiny update will make your experience smoother! Enjoy the hunt!
