Update v5.0.0

I know it's been a long time since I've given an update, sorry about that! Well, today I have big news: all the changes, fixes, and polish that have been simmering on the beta/test branch of DINO MERCS are now fully available to all players! This is the last *big* update before leaving early access. So there will be bugs, balance issues, and lack of polish in some areas. Please be patient with me while I clean everything up! From here on, you can expect a number of small patches and improvements. There are a ton of changes in this update. Like, I lost track of all of them. Here's a bunch of them:

Combat encounter modifiers to make battles more interesting. Extra cover, sandstorms, sweltering heat, and more!
Curated card pools for each playable character.
Enhanced and refined status cards.
Card art for just about every single card in the game!
Attack animations for most characters (more on the way!)
Controller support is almost 100% there, just a few bugs and inconveniences to fix.
Attack and defense cards, cover, dodge, stealth all scale up in power as you survive more sectors.
Lots more achievements to unlock!
More Hot Zone and Scavenger events.
UI improvements and reskin
Some powerful attack cards now also impart status effects
And a lot more that I can't remember right now...

If you encounter any issues (or just have feedback or want to chat about the game), please post on the steam forums or on the discord server, and I'll fix any bugs asap! I'll be working hard to get the game really polished and dialed in over the next few weeks. It's been fun seeing how the game is coming together, so I'm looking forward to hearing what players think of the new changes! -Tim, the dev

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.
