I'm pleased to announced that the Forgotten Isles have been unlocked! The entire single player campaign is now open. Huzzah! These 4 new levels feature a new story line, as well as the Tanuki monk and gameplay progression - meaning you'll build up your forces as you go and take them with you to the next level. The forgotten Isles are a weird, dangerous place! Also, we've added a notification tray to help you multitask but still keep on top of your Skulls games. Notifications appear in two cases: - when it's your turn in a Skulls Anywhere match - when you've searched for an online match and found a game in the background (to use background searches, anytime you fail to find a game, click "keep searching" to search in the background) Tray notifications only appear if Skulls is minimized or not the active application. So if you're waiting for your turn or other online players, just minimize Skulls and click on the notification when it pops up. Full details on the update below. Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------- beta 1.009 - 7/23/13 - changelist 7604 ------------------------------------------------------------- Unlock the Forgotten Isles (4 levels), with developer commentary.
