Ahoy crew,
Thanks for sailing with us. Here’s everything that changed:
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where the game sometimes wasn’t saved correctly
Fixed an issue where losing Act 1 forced you to restart the Tutorial from scratch
Fixed a bug where the Collection wasn’t displayed properly
Fixed a bug where Act 2 remained locked even after beating Act 1
Abandon Run now works as expected
Tutorial
Added a ! icon with Tips, always accessible during play
Players can now retry a battle when losing in Act 1, with tips shown to help
Nerfed Act 1: all starting compositions get -1 character, making the tutorial more balanced and approachable
Quality of Life
Added drunk state visual indicators
Patch notes are now shown in-game
Codex improved with better organization and content
Actions & Items now have improved and simplified descriptions
Added Unlock All (all acts and captains) and Discover All (view all units and items) options under Settings
Added indicators for when a unit is Fully Loaded or has used their Action
Complete rework of all descriptions: actions, items, and keywords are now clearer
Much simpler action descriptions with icons and an expandable/collapsible extra info panel
Clearer target indicators for InFront and Behind
Reduced sound volume of certain sounds.
Balance - Slight nerf to Burn
Pyromaniac action 1 reduced by 1 pip
Rework of Burn mechanic, now more realistic: Burn stacks are reduced by 1 when they deal damage, and spread when they don’t
What’s Next - Demo Version
We’re now heads-down building the Demo, which will include:
Final polish
Balancing improvements based on playtest feedback
Translation into 16 languages
Stay tuned, there’s a lot more coming!
