Tomb of Tyrants turned one year old on Steam today! It's been a great year with a lot of big changes and additions; remember when you all wanted that pause feature? Or when I finally added full session saving because the games were getting too long? How about the addition of the Dedicated Hoard View, or when I completely changed the matching mechanics to something far more unique and engaging? Or when we hit the double content milestone? I have a lot of great memories from this year, and I have to thank you all for pushing me to improve and advance the game in ways I never would have considered otherwise! I still have a lot of plans, as you can tell by the ongoing beta, and I hope you'll join me in crafting even more fun and entertaining experiences this year! The big addition for this update is item leveling; gathering a duplicate item will now increase the level of that item in your inventory, increasing its effectiveness or decreasing its cooldown time. I'm sure this will require additional balancing, but it will also help some of the existing items to shine a bit more. This is still a beta release. I had been planning to wrap up the feature set and push it out to everyone for the anniversary, but there are so many large changes--with more on the way--, that I've decided it would be best to hold off and await additional testing and features; I think the end result will be worth it =). If you'd like to try out the changes, you can opt in to the beta from the game's properties in your Steam library. Thanks again, everyone! Today's sale (which lasts for the next week) actually saw the game's single-day sales record, which just feels perfect ːtotcordialː. Here's to another great year, whether you spend it with Tomb of Tyrants or other games you love ːtotfedoraː.
