V0.21.0 is live! [Patch Notes]

Early Access release is coming soon! I'm hard at work polishing the game leading up to the release happening this Thursday (April 20th). DINO MERCS is my very first game as a new game developer, so being so close to release has brought up a lot of emotions. Equal parts excitement and nervousness, mostly! You'll probably see one more release on here before v1.0.0 (EA) releases. I need to finish some art, add more Steam achievements, and, as always, do a ton of playtesting to continue ironing out balance and more. If you'd like to join in the discussions about the game and see some of the details of the playtesting taking place, join the DINO MERCS discord: https://discord.gg/sTKZgkjr , we'd love to have you there. Here are the v0.21.0 patch notes: - Add mastered soundtrack! - Add lots of card art Game Balance - More variety between enemies - some have high shields/low armor and vice versa - Switch Killing Machine to Operation duration - Nerf some exceptionally high damage types (warhead: 200% -> 120%, explosive++: 100% -> 75%, Armor Piercing++/EMP++/Necrotic++: 200% -> 120%) - Buff enemy sector bonuses (enemy base HP/Shield/Armored/Attack increase with each sector) UI Improvements - Clean up Attack card tooltips - Add View Legends button to combat/base defense header - General UI polish - Add more information about current supplies/money to operation nodes Bug Squashing - Temporary fix for overlapping ultra-status pills - Hide flashing "exfill" options when an enemy is defeated - Fix Ravaged status was using Burning icon/info text - Fix the wording of Scavenger operation node choices - Ensure that Base Defense ends at the set number of rounds, and it's the enemy's turn - Fixes for edge cases with completed sectors and challenges - Fix logic determining whether Base Repair options are available for selection or not - Ensure that if cards in discard pile + deck + "to drain" is less than or equal to 5, you don't end up with less than 5 cards after draining (discard instead as a temp solution) - Fix some issues with sector progression

DINO MERCS is a roguelike deckbuilding game where you play the role of a veteran member of Dark Solar Defense, a shadowy private military corporation run by dinosaur mercenaries. You've just been assigned a straightforward mission on a newly found planet, but quickly discover that the planet holds a dark secret and multiple forces fighting for control of it. To survive, you will go on operations, engage in fierce combat, and defend your forward operating base from attackers.

FEATURES:

Strategic Deckbuilding: In order to survive and complete your mission, craft multiple decks from a growing collection of cards. Different decks will allow for different strategies and gameplay experiences.
Choose Your Experience: The way you build your deck determines everything. Want a challenge? Or a more laid back run? You get to decide.
Multiple Playable Characters: Try out different cards and ways of playing by playing as one of four unique playable characters, with more to come!
Story-driven Campaign: Dive into an exciting story about a mysterious planet, mercenary dinosaurs, and shadowy corporations.
Infinite Challenge: Want less story and more action? Try infinite mode and see how long you can survive. The more rounds you complete, the higher your score.
