Additions
- Map editor (No game controller support yet!)
- Custom map playing in online and local matches
- New map (The Canyon)
(Canyon map might give some camera bugs which I still need to work out)

Fixes
- Removed shader reloading debug code when pressing space, causing outlines to glitch out and would reload all shaders for no reason other than debugging

I will be on a skiing vacation next week, so I won't be able to work on the game as much as normal. I will probably work on some minigames and some fixes if needed.

When I'm back I will focus on more content, more official maps, cards and minigames :)

Good and bad news!

The bad
Cards of Chaos will be releasing 16th of January. This is 100% sure and will not be moved further back! Sorry to anyone who was waiting for it.

The good
This gives me more time to add more content like minigames and decor pieces to the game, to make the initial release even more fun!

Also, here's one of the cards you can use to beat your opponents!


Kind regards,
Bas Bloem

EDIT:
The game is currently awaiting approval :) For more info read the pinned post in the discussions.
