New Features

Lot's of polish and small additions happened for the demo release on Steam that I'm now patching to this build. Generally, the game is now a little more aesthetically pleasing!

Poison & Tide (formerly Drowning)

The two status conditions were reworked to focus around your dice. Poison stacks from the animon are randomly assigned to available dice at the start of your turn. Using a die with poison stacks will deal damage to the active animon. Tide on the otherhand will make dice unusable if they roll below the number of Tide stacks that you have. Rolling doulbes circumvents that effect.

First German Localization

Added German translations and language settings to the settings screen. There are still parts missing that needs translation, please let me know if you find any (comments or e-mail at hello[at]swordandquill[dot]games)

New Art

• Added backgrounds to Hammam (formerly Kiosk), Arcade, Treasure, and Victory screen
• The three regions now also have individual background and indentities and parallax effect when scrolling
• Some techniques got new battle effects
• Item Cards got a visual rework, rarity and costs now showing more distinctively

Fixes & Improvements

Balancing

• Difdagua's Fidgety quirk now triggers when summoned, not when benched (except for when summend for battle start)
• inventory and switching costs now reset after each turn so the first item and switch is free -each- turn
• reduced damage of Double Slap
