Hey Challengers!

It’s been a week since the release, and we would like to thank all of you for reporting bugs and sharing your ideas with us. You’ve been a great help, and this update is based on your popular requests.


For those, who just discovered the game, please, keep in mind, you are always welcome to share your feedback. We are carefully reading everything and doing our best to answer any questions you might have.

Also, if you face any issue, please, do not hesitate to contact us via Discord. This way you can easily share some files to help us solve the problem ASAP. The folder you need is this one:

But let’s move to the changes we actually managed to deliver today.

CHANGELOG

The very first thing we wanted to improve is your experience with the story and dialogues. This is especially important in the third tournament because the consequences are based on the way you talk to the Chieftain.

From now on, you can see what Finn is actually going to say by hovering the cursor over the button. This way it will be much easier to choose what you actually want to say, especially when you talk to Hargell.



Later, we will do our best to make this window more neat but for now we just wanted to make sure that there is enough space for lines in German and French which are usually quite long.

Another important thing, Chieftain Hargell now reacts to your answers. This way you can easily understand if he likes or dislikes what you say, and can use that knowledge to understand the character.



Keep in mind that Hargell may not react to some of your answers, which simply means that you failed to insult him or to earn his respect.

When that happens a lot or if you have mixed reactions, the Chieftain will more likely stay neutral towards you, and this will end the tournament in a certain way. But we actually reworked this part, and now you will get another option which some of you may find more attractive (and it has its benefits!).


That’s it with the big changes so far for the story and dialogue. Let’s move to gameplay.

There were a few cases when the game couldn’t transfer the turn and the only thing you could do is to surrender. We fixed everything we found but also added a simple workaround for those who might experience that issue again. Now, if the issue happens, the game should forcibly transfer the turn in 40 seconds.

We also fixed a few other critical things but if you managed to find anything to block your progress, please, contact us, we will fix your save in no time.


Other changes are relatively small. There are fixes for voice over and localizations and some changes for UI. For example, now you will see a proper tutorial window if you play with keyboard and mouse even if your controller is active.

And the last thing to mention is a lot of fixes for achievements. Now all of them should work as intended. Also, achievements shouldn’t spam anymore with constant notifications about progress.

WHAT’S NEXT?

We aim to deliver the next update approximately at the end of the month. It will include a few important features that you, our community, requested.

First of all, we are working on a system to significantly improve your user experience with deck management. It will make constant deck changes and card upgrades less tiresome.


Second, we are going to release some kind of New Game Plus kind of thing for those who would like to continue playing after the end. All the fights in the game will be unlocked and upgraded to the level of the last tournament, its conditions will be reset. This way you will be able to replay any fight with the deck of your choice — for example, try to beat the first tournament with a Gellian deck.

Last thing you asked us to add is the ability to replay a tournament for those who are not very fond of the outcome. We will do that.


If you have any other requests, feel free to share them in the comments. Meanwhile, we will take a week off to get some proper sleep because God knows we really haven’t for quite a while.

If you want to support us, please, leave an honest review about the game and spread the word. And once again, thank you very much for your feedback.

A.
