Small Updates & Whats Next!

No more soft resets!

The game now saves each of your moves instantly during play!

Once a move is played its played for good

Say goodbye to soft resets

Removed (for now)

• The Morphing Gambit and Chosen One Gambit have been temporarily removed.

  They caused too many issues, I want to take the time to refactor them properly!

  [/*]

Quality of Life

• The \"!\" threat effect now triggers right from turn 1

  [/*]

• Add more info on Gambits on Mouse Over.

  [/*]

About the Mac bug & next updates

This is the last update for this playtest, unless:

• I find a fix for the Mac capture issue affecting some players

  [/*]

• Or someone finds a blocking bug that makes the game unplayable

  [/*]

Looking ahead

Thank you all so much for sharing your ideas, your frustrations, and your unique ways to play!

It helped me see that some Gambits are very (too?) strong. I love how theyre being used, and I wont nerf them to the ground.

Instead, Im planning to tweak them, keep their soul and fun gameplay, but add a little twist Im keeping secret for now

Im thinking about:

• Apocalypse Gambit

  [/*]

• Valhalla Gambit

  [/*]

• Chicken Gambit

  [/*]

Other Gambits that are on my radar but that will get a different treatment:

• Lemmongs Gambit

  [/*]

• Warlocks Gambit

  [/*]

• Weird Pots Gambit

  [/*]

• Bribes Gambit

  [/*]

• White Crowns Gambit

  [/*]

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE how those Gambits works! I just want to make the game more fun and balanced by tweaking them without changing their core mechanic!

And lastly, the Gambler Gambit felt a bit too powerful Ive moved it from Epic to Legendary. Lets see how it goes!

Important note:

After the update, some in-progress runs might be corrupted due to changes in the save system

Sorry about that

Thanks again for playing and being part of this adventure.

Youre helping shape the game more than you think

Let me know if something breaks!

Otherwise, enjoy the new patch
