Hey guys! Like clockwork, the weekly update went live Monday night! Here's the notes:
The small area in-game where your avatar is is called the "Shell". It has been a troublesome area to update since it was written so long ago and so many people have touched it. We took some time to rewrite it and polish it up (faster animations, new customizations, tooltips, etc) and set the stage for performance improvements and future new features. Unfortunately it shipped with a bug where it always showed a Tactical Action so we had to push a tiny hotfix (0.8.5). Oops! The tooltips should help new players quite a bit and this helps set the stage for what comes next (like a new tutorial for instance) Not only was that cleaned up but we also rewrote how card "cost" is calculated. As long as we didn't mistype anything we should be a lot more consistent with: - Cards that cost actions AND destiny - Cards that make other cards cheaper - Canceling a card via interrupt and making sure everything is calculated properly - Plus adding new cards will go a lot faster for developers These types of HUGE changes behind the scenes don't really excite players as much as they should, but the benefits you'll see in the future more than make up for it! But to make sure we make it up to you guys, we also added/changed a bunch of cards this week:



It's looking like next week will have a BUNCH of new cards as well! And if you haven't been tuning into our Twitch stream (why not? FOLLOW: https://twitch.tv/justinreynard) we're 1-2 streams away from finishing the UI for the new Deckbuilder which adds stuff such as: - Deck Stats - Deck History - Import/Export Decks - Deck Browser (publish your best decks to the database for other players to try!) - Better interface for searching and adding/removing cards - Variant Cards And more! Hopefully we can get it out for testing by the 2nd week of September. Thanks for supporting DOOMTROOPER! We'll see you next week! - justin & secret cow level
