Development Update

Hello, players!

The Prologue has been open for some time now. Have you been enjoying it?

During this period, we have been actively preparing for the game's EA release. Today, we want to share with you what we've been up to lately.

As you may have noticed, we have added six distinct classes and are working on designing unique models and animations for each one. In the Prologue, you've already met the Soldier and Engineer classes. The Doctor and Scholar will make their appearance in the EA version too:

SOLDIER IN EXPEDITION

SOLDIER IN COMBAT

ENGINEER IN EXPEDITION

ENGINEER IN COMBAT

DOCTOR DRAFT

SCHOLAR DRAFT

New Feature: Power

We have introduced the "Power" attribute -
Now, all damage and effects originating from cards and upgrades are directly influenced by the character's Power stat. You have the opportunity to enhance this attribute at the Workshop located on the train.
Until this point, distinctions between two characters at different levels were rather minimal. A level 1 character could execute a successful combo and potentially surpass the strength of a level 4 character (the highest attainable level). Presently, however, the level 4 character will typically wield greater power than the level 1 character, regardless of deck quality, given that their Power attribute has been advanced through upgrades aboard the train.

New Feature: Skip new card/upgrade screen

I´ve added a "Skip" option when receiving card and upgrade rewards -
During playtesting of the Prologue, many players provided feedback about card choices, feeling that adding new cards not only didn't strengthen the deck but also disrupted their original development plans. In response to your feedback, we have included the "Skip" option.

This is only a test. I want to know what players think about this change. Then, I'll decide whether to keep it as it is or make some changes. Another idea I'm thinking about is putting a limit on how often you can use the Skip option during each journey. This is to make the game fairer, as having a deck with 6 cards full of upgrades can make it really strong. I'll need your feedback to help with this.

You can play these new features in the prologue now!

That's all the new updates we have for you this time! The announcement of the release date is just around the corner, and the EA release is not too far away. We hope you all are excited and looking forward to it.

Thank you for your continued support!
