Before getting into the patch notes I want to apologize to our fans that this update took so long to come out. Without my brother helping with the art and story I had set the game aside to work on Big Klondike, Faerie Solitaire Remastered: Lost Legends and FaeVerse Alchemy.

\nBig Klondike was the first small game I worked on while my brother was sick. Then I didn\'t touch it again for a few years then added some cheap $2 DLC to it to help us out more financially. Off and on I worked on FSR:LL over the course of like 6 years. And sometime earlier this year I decided to fully finish FVA. I actually started remaking FVA within FSD! There is a prototype that\'s playable and hidden in the game right now. It might be used as a mini game in the future.

My main point here is I was working on other projects to keep myself busy in the hopes my brother would be able to return to help finish FSD. But unfortunately he\'s decided for health reasons to step away from working on Subsoap projects. But that wont stop me from finishing it on my own.

With FSR:LL completed I\'m able to shift all my focus over to FSD. Currently I\'d say FSD is about half complete right now. There are a lot more locations and another mode I want to add for better replay-ability. The story will possibly need to be re-written as I wasn\'t involved in the original writing as much as I should\'ve been, I have an idea where my brother wanted to take the story but we\'ll see. And of course a final pass on art.

On the topic of art, normally I didn\'t want to push out an update without mostly \"finalized art\" but instead I\'m going to just work with very rough placeholder art when needed. So expect to see very poorly drawn art that will be replaced in the future.

I don\'t have a set schedule for updates. I\'d rather not rush out updates. But I will be in the forums or you can join our Subsoap Discord server to ask questions or share feedback.

Artifacts are live! They may be wildly unbalanced still so if you find some combos which break the game to be unfun please let us know.

Wish for artifacts to get them. Some artifacts require multiple shards to get/fully upgrade.

Next update soon will feature Sanhe and her item+upgrades shop!

Happy Halloween!

We will begin regular updates again. We have a whole stack of features and content we've been working on. In the following updates until release out of Early Access, we will be focusing on a single feature/content block to polish up and get to you.

This update has a lot of behind the scenes updates and changes, some things moved around that you will notice. The main feature of this update is the addition of pets. You can now collect, hatch, and evolve them all. Please do not feel like you have to rush that ASAP. We have more updates to come with more content to enjoy.

You will notice the pets don't have backgrounds on their screen. This will be addressed when we add in all proper location backgrounds in one of the upcoming updates.

If you notice any bugs or game breaking things please ensure you have analytics enabled so we get automated error reporting sent to us. All other normal issues please report in the forum.

Faerie Solitaire Dire is now in Early Access!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/556530/Faerie_Solitaire_Dire/
Here are two threads with information worth reading:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/556530/discussions/0/2943620809073645581/

https://steamcommunity.com/app/556530/discussions/0/2914346777816001125/

tl;dr

• The game is not finished yet. The game is still sold as is. That is how Early Access works.
• Dire is closely related to Faerie Solitaire Remastered but with a darker theme and much more focus on challenging content. It can still be played in a more relaxed way if you choose Relaxed as your difficulty when creating a profile. If you have never played any of our previous solitaires you probably should before attempting Dire.
• Our estimated full release date is 2 months from today. If you want to wait to buy until full release please make sure the game is on your wishlist today.
• There will be bugs. There will be lack of polish. There will be some obviously missing content.
• Please opt in to error reporting. It really helps us fix bugs faster. This is the first thing you will see when launching the game.
• We authorize any and all refunds if you are not happy and want one. We want you to be happy with your purchase. Show this to Valve if you want a refund and they for some reason deny you a refund.
• We will be updating as often as we have an update ready, and will do weekly posts on Fridays with lists of changes. You can subscribe to threads in the forum to be notified about specific things that interest you.
• We have a Discord, you can find the invite link on the About screens of any of our recent games.
• For anything we will be adding to the game we don't want to preview it at all until it's in the game and playable. Minus some exceptions, this is how we will deal with upcoming content additions. If you have played our previous games you can have some idea of what is to come.
• If you notice issues you can contact us directly at help@subsoap.com or mention it in our Subsoap Discord or post about it in the forum. Check the known issues thread in the forum first.

- With Dire weve had a strong creative vision while developing the game. It is a game for solitaire fans of course, but with our games we always try to include many elements from other genres which we love.
- Dire is fundamentally an up/down solitaire where you match cards one above and one below the foundation. If you played Faerie Solitaire Remastered and loved it there is a good chance you will love Dire too.
- The main gameplay focus of Dire is to purify the blue cursed cards. You auto complete layouts once you clear the last cursed card. If the final card cleared is a cursed card then youll get a heroic clear. These will matter more in the full version. Most of the meta / progression features are stripped out and disabled for this demo version.
- Dire is a sister game to Faerie Solitaire Harvest. FSH was conceived to be an easier game while FSD was conceived to be a harder game.
- Our vision for Dire is a darker theme, but still beautiful with magic and charm and heart and soul. The game has a very strong story focus, but no story is included in the festival demo. The focus of the festival demo is on a challenging gameplay preview location. There is nothing special after beating all layouts (we wanted to include enough unique layouts for those interesting in playing to have enough to play without repeating layouts too soon), the game will loop once you beat the last one. Since the layouts are still limited, they are balanced on the harder side and each may take multiple attempts to beat. Learn, strategize, and try again!
- If you have played the challenge mode in Faerie Solitaire Remastered some of the new card mechanics in Dire will be familiar, but there are even more in the full version.
- If you are worried about Dire being too difficult dont worry. The majority of the challenge in the full version of Dire is taken on optionally with powerful artifacts you can earn and equip to make unique areas easier. If you want to play more casually with more steady progression you can, but if you want to have as much challenge as possible you also can play that way too.
- If you are worried about Dire being story focused dont worry. In the full version you can easily skip all story. Absolutely no unskippable cutscenes!
- Many of the lessons we learned in our previous project have directly impacted Dires development. We have tried to include everything we want and also consider what you (our audience) want and expect in a solitaire game.
- This is not the final version of course. Weve been iterating on nearly every part of Dire since it started development, and odds are what you see in the demo will still improve for the better in the final release!
- This demo will be gone once the festival is over so be sure to play it while its live!
- We are currently expecting to release Dire in September of 2020. We need the wishlists to be above 5,000 before releasing. Right now they are ~2,500 so if you have not wishlisted please do, and share this festival demo with all who may be interested. It will help!
- If you enjoyed the demo please let us know in Dire's community forum!
