Hello everyone!
Although it was a ton of work, I've finally got defensive cards up and working!
When you play a defensive card, it spawns a physical object in front of you. The defensive object only works if it physically blocks the attack, and it is part of the same elements system as other entities in the game, meaning that some defenses will work better against certain attacks than others (it's not just a certain number of defense points you get). And yes, any object you can attack with, you can also defend with (but that doesn't mean you should!)
I've also been setting up the new game screen:
On the backend, I've been squashing a bunch of bugs that popped up over the course of development.
Next week, I'll be sharing the new trailer for CUT THE CARDS!
(P.S. I'll most likely have to delay the release of the closed playtest by about a week, as Valve will need time to review the build before posting.)

Features:
- Custom card creation. As you play, you'll discover hundreds of cards. When choosing which cards to take, you have to not only consider the card's effects itself, but also what cards you could create from it.
- Card battles with physics-based simulations. When you shoot arrows at an enemy, there's not just a generic slashing animation. Instead, arrows fly out towards your enemy and collide (or not!) with them.
- Text-based events. Every event can have serious consequences. Do you choose to help a goblin in need, hoping for a reward, guessing that he won't try to steal one of your cards?
- Play your cards even outside of combat. Special purple options appear during dialogue if you have a card that could be useful. These options usually give you additional rewards. Carefully consider how to balance your deck between combat and non-combat cards to successfully traverse the continent.
- Complex elemental system. Each enemy has their own vulnerabilities, resistances, and immunities. If you try to attack an enemy wearing chainmail with a dagger, it won't be so effective. But try shocking them with lightning, and it might just double the damage!
- Nonlinear exploration in a randomly generated map. Each time you play, a new map with different arrangements of biomes, settlements, and rivers is generated. You can choose to backtrack, but you'll have to keep an eye on your rations. The maps are in hand-drawn style (and if you want an authentic version without colors, you can choose that in settings!)
