Game Builds
Build 0.1.5 (Nov 3, 2022)Play
Updates:
- Battle rewards are now randomized between "Gain a Rune", "Learn a Spell", and "Upgrade a Spell"
- Added Battle Reward previews in the map scene
- Added an XP and leveling system and removed "Misc" rewards page - now the Energy, Hand Size, and Max
HP upgrades happen all together after XP-based Level-ups
- Fixed a bug with any "transfer X status" effects - so they always remove the right amount from the
character losing the status value.
- Fix to prevent multiples of one Additive Scene at the same time (this would be map events, panels,
and popups etc).
- A round of some UI polish! New panel and button images.
- A new "you died" scene that doesn't look like shit!
Build 0.1.3 (Oct 14, 2022)Play
Updates:
- Reworked Witch's starting deck and spells - now it's more focused on Poison.
- Trying an altered Witch dynamic - you gain Essence for EVERY spell used.
- Altered the Witch spells that previously gave you extra Essence.
- You now can't pick up a rune if you don't have the single-rune spell for it yet. In effect, this
just means that before unlocking new runes in a quest reward, you don't get to pick those runes up.
This prevents you from having a rune that you don't have a spell for yet.
- Changed the "beard comb" Relic to be "draw 4 and gain 4 Energy".
- Changed the "mahogany bookcase" Relic to "gain 1 extra shield when shielding".
- Moved the conversation "..." button to the same spot as the conversation confirm button.
