Alright everyone! It's time for another update. This is all about the Steam support. The cloud, the cards and some other changes!
This update finally enables steam cloud support. This means your save files will be saved on Steam's servers and you can synchronize your data between different machines. Now you're able to continue your run from one machine, and your overall progress will also carry over. Since this had not been enabled previously you might get a "conflict" popup the first time you run on your second machine. Steam will ask you whether you want to use your current cloud date or whether to overwrite it with the local machine. It is recommended that you keep the save files from the machine that has more overall progress. Runs can be restarted more easily than unlocks can be regained. So if you choose something in that popup make sure you're picking the right option! Also, if you had steam running during this update you might have to close and restart the steam client for it to work properly!
And alongside the cloud we'll have some cards. The Nowhere Prophet trading card content contains 6 badges, with a total of 7 collectible cards, 8 unlockable backgrounds and 9 steam emoticons! Here's some previews of the content!

And lastly there's some minor changes to the game, mostly some interface and balance tweaks and some small bugfixes.

Changelog

A roguelike deck-building game

Nowhere Prophet is a single player card game with procedurally generated maps, a high difficulty and permadeath. At it's heart are two distinct parts of gameplay: Travel and combat.


TRAVEL
During travel you navigate across a procedurally generated map. Make sure your convoy has enough resources to travel as you pick your route. On your journey you will encounter strange places and even stranger people. You will be thrust into situations that put the fate of your followers in your hands.

If you're lucky enough to gain some rewards, maybe for helping someone - or robbing them, then you can invest those to improve your decks. Recruit more followers to have more and different units to put into battle. Equip your prophet or level up and learn new skills to have access to stronger action cards in combat.

COMBAT
You will have to overcome some enemies to keep your convoy and resources together. And sometimes you may even want to pick a fight for righteousness or just for loot. Once in battle the game changes to the turn-based card game mode.

Play convoy cards to put your followers onto the field and position them so you can overcome your enemy. Or play action cards to dramatically change the battlefield. But be careful: If you're wounded you will have to find a safe place to heal. And if one of your followers takes too many wounds, they are lost forever.

A science-fiction post-apocalypse

Nowhere Prophet is set on a far off planet called Soma. Your story begins many years after the Crash, a complete technological collapse. Civilization has broken down and the lack of resources made everyone turn either bandit or madman.


In this world inspired by Indian culture you lead a convoy of outcastes. These desperate men and woman following your vision of a better future. Under your guidance they travel with you through the wastelands. Your goal is the Crypt, a mystical place that promises untainted technology and safety.

If you can survive long enough to find it.
