Merry (almost) Christmas!\nIt\'s been way longer than I would\'ve hoped for this update to come out, but at least we got there!\nI\'ve been busier than expected, so progress was slow, and testing wasn\'t as extensive as I would\'ve wanted. There might be some undiscovered issues with the new New Game + mode, but I\'ll keep testing and fix anything that comes up as issues are reported!\n\nAt any rate, I hope everyone enjoys the new game mode, and I continue to thank everyone who supported the game so far!\n\nFull patch notes below:\n\n-New game mode, \"New Game+\" added!\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause GY Shuffle effects to fail if both the deck and GY were empty at resolution time.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause the AI logic to stop working when trying to account for certain effects in counter-strategies.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause minion effects to be activable even though no valid targets for that effect were available.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause bouncing Tokens to crash the game under some circumstances. \n\n-Fixed issue that would cause the overhead UI to dissapear when losing a game in Free Battle mode.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause decks to load custom cards as copies of regular cards with the same image in Free Battle Mode. \n\n-Fixed issue that would allow cards crafted or cards purchased from the merchant when having a full deck to exceed the 60-card limit.\n\n-Fixed issue that would render some runs not usable in Free Battle mode.\n\n-Multiple additional small bugfixesand balance changes.*(I lost my notes and I don\'t remember exactly what else got fixed but it was a handful more things, sorry about that)\n

Its been almost a month since the last update, and I havent been able to make as much progress as I wouldve hoped to. My available time to dev has been slashed due to external factors, and progress will be a bit slower, but I still have a lot of content I want to add, so dont worry about me dropping the game or anything like that!\n\nThe update fixes some critical issues and adds new effects, new equipment, and new QoL features!\n\nA huge thanks to everyone playing and supporting the game. I really appreciate you all.\n\n\nFull patch notes below:\n\n-New effects added: Bleed (5 related effects), Tokens (3 related effects), Banish (1 related effect).\n\n-New equipment added: Sanguinary Sickle, Bleeding Bracers, Duster of Deception\n\n-Fixed bug that wouldnt award the Rest to the weary achievement to players.\n\n-Fixed bug that would allow minion effects to trigger that minions own effects.\n\n-Rebalanced costs for some effects.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause the UI to disappear when skipping cutscene text too quickly.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause the wrong image to be displayed for the Rogue\'s last cutscene image.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause the reminder text not to show up correctly when targeting optional effects.\n\n-Improved effect ordering in forges.\n\n-Improved cost reduction to further improve overly expensive cards.\n\n-Fixed card improvement name to show multiple + on consecutive improvements.\n\n-Added a way to close out if the mod fetching function fails to complete.\n\n-Fixed issue that would cause some effects to be generated at unintended costs.\n

Another small update to address more reported issues and to properly fix what 1.4.1 was supposed to fix.\n\nAfter noticing many players wanted to forge multiple copies of the same card art, I\'ve changed the forge so that it does not randomize upon crafting to facilitate this.\n\nAlso, don\'t mind update 1.4.2, we just skipped that one by accident (whoops).\n\nFull patch notes below:\n\n-Fixed issues with Free Battle mode not working correctly for some players.\n\n-Fixed issue that made language preferences reset upon returning to the main menu.\n\n-Fixed issue that cuased the AI opponent to misread some effects making it react incorrectly to the current effect on the chain.\n\n-Fixed grammar errors.\n\n-Changed forge so as not to reroll the last used image when crafting.\n\n-Updated icon and description for the equipment menu in Free Battle mode.\n\n-Fixed some buttons not displaying localized strings.\n\n--\n\nThanks again to everyone supporting the game with your reports and patience!\n

Small update to address some reported bugs and improve the UX.\n\nImportant note: Users located in some regions don\'t seem to be able to upload mods. I\'ll be working hard to fix this issue throughout the weekend, but it might take a bit of time since I\'m not sure if the issue is on my end or on Steam\'s end, so please bear with me on this one.\n\nFull changelist below:\n\n -Fixed issue that caused the colors for the numbers in the new level-up pop-up window not to show correctly under certain circumstances.\n\n-Added a new speed selector pop-up for the first run of every account to better introduce players to the option of changing speed in the options menu.\n\n-General balance changes to prevent overly powerful minions from being generated.\n\n-Secret change to improve UX.

Hello friends, Fullen the developer here!

Card Artisan is a project I\'ve been working on for the last 6+ years in my spare time and alone, so after such a long time, I can hardly believe it is release day.

I would be lying if I said this is an ideal release; there are many known minor issues and many things I would\'ve hoped were more fleshed out before release, but after many delays, I\'ve put my foot down and decided to release no matter what.

This said, I\'ve managed to fix most issues thanks to the help of all the wonderful people who helped me with testing, suggestions, and general moral support!

I will keep working on this project in the foreseeable future to keep fixing issues, adding new content, improving enemy AI, tweaking balance, and improving performance. So even if you encounter any issues, I hope you can help me continue to improve the game while understanding that this is the work of a one-man team with limited capabilities (so please don\'t be too harsh on me).

I hope everyone has a fun time playing the game, coming up with many sick combos, and creating many mods to share with everyone on the Steam Workshop!
