Today we made some updates to our Tournament Anti-Cheat System. First of all - yes, it exists. Secondly, we've made some improvements to it today that should no longer be flagging players incorrectly in some rare circumstances. To make sure no one remains incorrectly banned from participating in Tournaments, we have made a clean slate and unbanned all previously flagged players today. How does it work? In simple terms, it automatically checks the authenticity of your Tournament run files, and if something is fishy you may have the Tournament system disabled for you. The effect of this is that you'll no longer see the Seal appear on the main menu. The easiest way to get flagged is to try to manipulate your Tournament save files. Don't do that! (We don't care if you manipulate any single player save files, it's just the Tournament ones we check) What can I do if I get banned? We can unban you. The best way is to ask us on our Discord server , or you can send an email to support@abrakam.com. Make sure to tell us your Steam profile name. We're not looking to stop people from having fun, but we do want to try to keep the multiplayer boards fair. As always, thank you for playing Roguebook and supporting us. Feel free to ask any questions below.

Watch our developers and community play the new Tournament mode and check out the 5th character, Fugoro!

Hello All, Fugoro has been released into the Roguebook! We hope you're excited to play the Merchant of Wonders and make use of his unique playstyle. He's very position orientated, with the melee, range, and swap cards to fulfill this playstyle, using coins to sync up with the other heroes and prepare some truly devastating combos. It can take a little prep work, but there are some extremely strong cards tucked away in this heroes deck. Individually, Fugoro can be purchased for all runs here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1704470/Roguebook__Fugoro_Merchant_of_Wonders/ Alternatively, we've added Fugoro to the Deluxe Edition, which has raised the price of the bundle to compensate. Existing owners of the Deluxe edition will not have access to automatic access to Fugoro as a playable character. Instead, they will be able to complete their collection with a 40% discount for any Deluxe Edition owners looking to master stick fighting. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21277/Roguebook__Deluxe_Edition/ Lastly, Fugoro will be available in the tournament mode launching today for the entire weekend in various hero combinations. This game mode has a rotating selection of heroes and challenges for players to face scored both on speed and points scored. In the tournament mode, Fugoro will be available to all players regardless of whether or not you own the DLC. Give him a try and let us know what you think!

Conclusion

Congratulations on those eagle-eyed fans who realized that Fuguro, the merchant of wonders would be joining our other heroes in the Roguebook as DLC on February 24th. Additionally, Fuguro will be free to play on rotation in the Tournament Mode that will release at the same time for all players. We'll have more details on both Fuguro and the Tournament Mode in the run-up to launch, but for now, here's a little teaser about how Fuguro plays. Pirate, Hoarder, Frog Thief, Adventurer, Toad, what you call him may depend on whether your interactions with the Merchant of Wonder have brought you wealth or calamity. For those who find themselves trapped within the pages, of the Roguebook, perhaps it will be cathartic that the cause of their troubles will be joining them. Fuguro is position-orientated, with a good spread of Melee, Ranged, and Swap cards to keep him moving. He's got some great combos, for those willing to put in the prep work to pull them off and makes use of coins and marks, with some special coins for synergizing with the other heroes. Here's a sneak peek at some of his cards (click to expand):

Let it be known that another "hero" will find themselves trapped in the Roguebook on February 24th.
This mysterious stranger will be available in normal runs for those who have the DLC, or free to use at certain points in the Daily Tournmanent mode that will be released at the same time.

We've released a small update today that fixes a few of the major issues we've seen since the release of 1.6. Thank you for your continued reports/feedback.

• Magda's Scissors have been moved to Epic rarity
• Fixed a crash that occurred in Russian language

Today we are releasing a major Roguebook update for PC, Mac, and Linux versions. Before we go further, it is important to note that runs from previous versions will become incompatible with 1.6. If you have a run in progress, you will be prompted the following when you log in:
From here, you may either drop your current run and begin anew in 1.6, or choose to downgrade your version and continue. Once you downgrade, however, you will need to re-update in order to continue playing. Please find further detailed instructions in this separate news post: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1076200/view/2979683242489856953 Without further ado, heres whats new:

A COLLECTOR BLACK LOTUS TO WIN!

Hey everyone. Our patch this week focuses on addressing a wide array of bugs, as well as a few balance changes. These balance changes are still relatively small in scope in comparison to what we have planned. Reducing some of the more frustrating RNG is on our radar, as well as more adjustments to Seifer. You can expect more changes from us in this area.

FEATURES/QOL

• The progression file is now zipped and backed up if the current save file becomes corrupted
• Time of Legends alternate starting treasures are now Legendary.
• Some translations have been adapted.

BALANCING

• Reducing the variance in certain battles
• Giving Sharra a few more multi hit cards and some additional strength
• Toning down some of the more ridiculous combos in the game.

• Fugu behaviour has been tweaked so they are less syncronised, leading to less brutal turns. Their scaling has also been reduced.
• Rapala is now less punishing when you cannot swap.
• Added a count down to Rebel Slinger sleep turns, and increased it by 1 in certain battles.
• Stop defender of the homeland powering up for the first few turns.
• Duel now hits twice for 5 instead of once for 12
• Shadow strike now hits twice for 2 damage instead of once for 6
• Red Diamond is now properly no longer considered an attack. This removes the Red Diamond + Flex/Shock and Awe infinite, for example.
• Blade Twist now has dissolve
• Blood crystal: Inflict bleed equal to half damage dealt, was equal to full damage dealt
• Mirror Moonstone rarity increased to Epic from Rare
• Cap-10's defense is now scaling properly in the Legendary Bosses Epilogue.
• The chance of Apex Predator spawning in a given run was incorrectly set too high.
• Drain Strength now exhausts on both sides instead of only when not enraged
• Shock and Awe now has charge
• Grim Syphon now dissolves if played with rage mode
• Fodder is now aggressive and has 3 spirit instead of 4
• Seifer's Cloak now gives you the power buff while at half life, instead of below half life. (Edit, this means at half life AND below, instead of just below)

FIXES

• Using the Shaman quickly after playing a card no longer results in the ability being wasted
• Majinata will no longer turn invisible when a possessed enemy is killed with a stackable card.
• Dynamic numbers on gem texts should now display correctly.
• Dynamic numbers in certain status tooltips now display correctly.
• The game no longer crashes if a save file of the run doesn't exist.
• Resetting the tutorials has been temporarily disabled.
• Using "Drain Strength" + "Rainbow Gem" will no longer make the game explode.
• Pressing spacebar in certain weird moments will no longer crash the game.
• Shard of Hunting now no longer gets incorrect damage boosts when socketed on cards like Witstrike.
• Summoning Crystal can now only be socketed on allies.
• Tiki Totem now properly only gives power to its equipped hero
• Eye of the Apex and Savage Fang no longer crash the game when socketed on neutral cards.
• Using Chosen One on a Flame Stoker will no longer break its spirit
• Tadpals should now always properly cost 0 instead of being 1 cheaper.
• Toadsuit now properly tagged as a Block card for gem insertion.
• Fixed a crash when attacking in some rare circumstances.

Since the release of Roguebook on June 17th, we've received a lot of valuable feedback. The reception has been a mixture of good and bad, but there is a severe issue that we feel we need to address immediately: our launch DLC. Weve made a mistake and wed like to apologize for it. When we created the Digital Deluxe Edition of Roguebook, our goal was to create an option for those who wanted to show a little additional support for the game. We focused on cosmetics, but we were concerned this wouldn't be enough. So we ended up creating some exclusive content as a bonus for players who wanted to support the game and get more from it. In hindsight, this was a mistake and one we'd like to fix. We have integrated the Apex Predator Pack into the base game, for free. Having done this, we have worked with Steam to lift the restrictions on requesting a refund. Anyone, regardless of playtime will be able to request a refund on the Apex Predator Pack, regardless of whether you purchased it as a bundle or separately. One exception is the Deluxe pre-order customers, who will need to ask for a complete refund of the game and then purchase the game again at the new price. If you wish to keep your progression, make sure to copy your save data located here:
Once again, we'd like to apologize to our community. We worked very hard on Roguebook, and want to be sure we're treating our supporters right. Please continue to hold us accountable and send us feedback. You can count on us to take action. We would have prefered to have made all of the right decisions before release, but we will settle for learning from this mistake. Version 1.4 will arrive this week, introducing a very long list of improvements of all sorts. Our will is to keep forging the game as time goes by, this is about listening to our players not only to address issues, but also by creating additional free content that will help the game shine. This is just the beginning. Thank you for your understanding, and see you on the forums.

We want to welcome all the new players to the world of Roguebook! Since our launch yesterday we've received tons of great community feedback on the game.

What does this mean for Roguebook?

• The final version of the game is close to the first draft of its playable state
• Work on the prototype has ceased, and there have been quite a few interesting updates we havent shared yet
• Our animations are looking really cool.

• Team Abrakam

Today we are deploying our next major update for the Alpha version of Roguebook. We are nearing the end of our major updates for the Alpha client as we prepare the real beta with all the fancy bells and whistles. Weve teased what weve been working on for this update earlier this year, but a few things have changed since then. This is also why its arrived a little later than planned. Sorry about that. This isnt just a content update, but a major overhaul of some core designs in the game. Weve done a good bit of internal testing and tweaking to the point where we think we are ready for the public to test it. Thats you! Without further ado, here are the patch notes for the Major March update:

Talents

Allies

World Maps

Roads

Hero Resurrection

Hero Swapping

• Ranged: Costs 1 less if this hero is in the back
• Melee: Costs 1 less if this hero is in the front
• Charge: Move this hero to the front

Misc Changes

• During battles, the hero in front is the one normally exposed to damage.
  
• Whenever you a play a card belonging to the hero in the back row, your heroes will swap positions.
  
• If any hero reaches 0 health, they become inactive for the rest of the battle and have their cards removed from the deck. After the battle, that hero is healed back to a low amount of health and two Wound cards are added to your deck. A Wound is a card that's not playable and will only act as a handicap. It is said that finding a helpful wandering monk can help you remedy these wounds...
  
• If both of your heroes reach 0 health in the same battle, your current run ends and the Roguebook wins.
