I am happy to celebrate Shuffled Sky is now available on Steam Early Access!

From here on out, the patch notes will specifically cover added content to the Early Access version of the game, not the Demo.

Although I do not expect much, for me this Early Access release marks the completion of one of my biggest steps in my life: To have created a video game! Now we go onwards into making Shuffled Sky awesome! Thank you to the few hundred of you who have been silently with us on this journey!

NEW DRYAD CAMPAIGN

Once you've finished the Great Giant campaign, you'll unlock the Dryad campaign option.
In this campaign, you can use basic elemental cards in the overworld map and modify the overworld! Doing so is required, as only 3 levels spawn naturally, and the other 4 will spawn wherever you use your cards. And... Of course you will face the Dryad as the final boss in her domain: Gaia's Grove.

6 NEW CLASSES

• CHANNELER (MIND / SERENITY): uses Might, Lightning and Spirit abilities.
  
• DRUID (SPIRIT / HARMONY): uses Water, Earth and Nature abilities.
  
• GUARDIAN (BODY / EMPATHY): uses Defense and Attack abilities.
  
• MONK (SPIRIT / FELICITY): uses Attack and Earth abilities.
  
• PALADIN (BODY / ALTRUISM): uses Attack and Light abilities.
  
• RANGER (TIME / HARMONY): uses Range and Attack abilities.
  

Harmony mana: This green mana is now readily available with the new Druid and Ranger classes. Harmony mana starts half-full at the start of the game; has a large mana pool that refills slowly from exploration; and spending mana also recovers some life.
