In this update, names are added for each opponent, which are randomised at the beginning of the game. Also ending the game now has a better experience, showing the user why someone won, and giving them the option to observe the game before quitting.

A new Virtual Reality version is now available!

Ive finally added VR support on avdl - my programming language - allowing me to compile projects for the Oculus machines. At the time, only the Quest 2 is officially supported, but given that this is a free and open-source game, feel free to try it out on any other oculus hardware. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Heres a new video showing the VR gameplay: [previewyoutube=ONLWetKVboE;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] You can also check out Rue on Oculus App Lab

Get Rue - the physical card game

A new link is added in the main menu, allowing users that enjoy the game to purchase the physical card game, so they can play live with friends. You can find it on my etsy shop: Afloofdev - Etsy Shop

Performance improvements

General improvements on performance, should mean the game can now run on even weaker hardware. Ive tested this with a very old laptop of mine and the game runs without error or lag!

New build uploaded, that organised the game a bit better. It also added a variety of features:

• 15 completed cards with artwork.
• 1 new background environment.
• 5 different AI opponents.

• 15 different stages to complete, each with increasing difficulty.
• The game now features Steam achievements! Can you get them all?
• Implemented Optional effects, which allow the user to discard another card, to increase the effect of their current card.

• The first few levels now show less cards, making it easier for the user to get used to the game, before introducing cards with more complex effects.
• Despite all the new features, the new binaries for Linux and Windows are almost half the size of the previous version, thanks to some optimisations (from ~40MB to ~20MB).

From rendering 3D meshes as text, the game "Rue" will now be using 2D fonts, which are easier to read, and allow a bigger selection of characters.

This is also the first step to make translating the game into multiple other languages.
