Another small batch of bugfixes and changes:

• Corrected a few more spelling errors
• Fixed the 'Downtrodden' achievement; This achievement slipped through the cracks of our testers, not triggering when it should.
• Changed how the 'Lest' Achievement is unlocked. Previously, you could lock yourself out of this achievement on a single playthrough by defeating Petyr 4 times. Now, you can also unlock it by meeting him at cragmoth after defeating him that many times.

Some minor fixes this time around:

• Corrected some typos and spelling errors
• Fixed a rare bug in the magic school where no poem would be shown
• Other small fixes to the poetry rendering

Again some bugfixes and small changes to the gameplay:

• Fixed a bug where the 'heart' card did not show the correct damage when dispirited, inspired or shielded.
• Fixed a rare bug where the campaign mode was not interactable at all except for panning & zooming the map.
• Adjusted the gauntlet mode so that wizards are assigned tiers and arranged accordingly. This is to prevent the player encountering a difficult late-game wizard at the start of their gauntlet run.
• Implemented some small optimizations (to be tested on lower end hardware).

This update brings some well needed bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where the secret road to Caern does not properly unlock. Poor sod Urick was literally trapped on the island. This fix works retroactively for players who have already done the quest.
• Fixed poem highlighting bug where incorrect words were highlighted (e.g. grain instead of rain, knight instead of night).
• Fixed a bug where the damage predictions of some cards didn't update when drawn last from the deck (the queen card for instance).
• Fixed some dialogue conditions

There's another prerecorded stream scheduled today at 16h00 CEST by our friends at TripleJump (@TeamTripleJump)!

This update brings some bugfixes and corrections, here's the changelog:

• Fixed a bug causing some words not to be highlighted correctly
• Fixed a bug causing some poems to be formatted incorrectly and show out of bounds
• Fixed a bug where some highlighted words in certain poems were not counted for card conditions
• Corrected some spelling and grammar in the wizard's dialogue

If you're wondering how compatible Verses of Enchantment is with the Steam deck before Steam does their own tests, here's a rundown:

• The game runs natively on linux and performs well
• The game has full controller support
• The game has an alternative font to improve legibility

• The game's UI & text was originally designed for larger screens, so the game does not read that well on the Steam deck
