Hi everyone! A lovely update for OscarWildeCard today. It fixes a few bugs, adds more conversations between the guests and changes the gameplay to make things a bit smoother. With this update I feel the game has reached a really happy place. So I'm unlikely to make major changes to it now that might unbalance it. instead any future ideas would go into OscarWildeCard 2 (Sub header: Pool Party? Rough Trade? Dorian Graybeard???)! I am monitoring feedback and expect to do a few balance and bugs releases in the future (although I can never promise any updates). I have started work on a new game! Gaystation Sunside, a gay-friendly RPG. I will have more details later this year and I hope you'll come with me on the next adventure! Thanks as always, Luke Changes

Hi everyone, It's been six months since OscarWildeCard released and we're proud to publish the biggest patch since launch! Balance changes, a new challenge in conquest mode, bugfixes, quality of life improvements, and even a new card.
Big balance changes:

• Cards will now reset when shuffled back into the deck (we were finding the longer matches went on, the harder it was to close the deal as the cards would be too degraded)
• The points required for victory now increase as the story progresses (we found that as more powerful cards became available the 12 point victory level became vulnerable to large random swings)

• add option to menu to change resolution
• add more banter between guests
• add wildecard effect to Doctor Oscar I (two negative cards become 1pt)
• add new challenge in conquest mode called "A Perfect 10" (player with highest score after 10 turns wins)
• add new card, Turing, with new powers to discard hand and deal cards
• make Turing a prize for completing the conquest challenges
• add fanfare when starting battle
• add SFX in menus
• add SFX when selecting guests
• add full character art to battle select screens

• reset cards when they are reshuffled into the deck
• make game apply settings such as fullscreen when launched
• move audio and video options into own sub menu
• buff Angel Oscar III (-1pt on self instead of -2pts)
• improve apartment block background scenery
• add some more art to title screen
• discourage AI from playing Oscarnaut II if affected guests are being seduced
• discourage AI from playing Pharaoh Oscar II if there are no player cards attracted to each other
• discourage AI from player Pharaoh Oscar III if there are not enough opportunities on table
• reduce volume of some SFX
• reword some dialogue to punch it up
• move cards closer together in deck builder
• make deck builder popup larger
• make deck builder six columns up from five
• provide information to player on battle select screen if AI gets bonus point
• increase points required for victory as story mode progresses and more powerful cards become available
