EA 3 Update – Status Effects Overhaul & Expanded Settings!

Duelists, a new update has arrived!

EA 3 brings a wave of improvements to CardScrawl, making battles easier to read, settings more customizable, and mechanics clearer than ever. Let’s dive into what’s new!

🛠 Status Effect Overhaul – Better Clarity at a Glance!
No more guessing what effects are active—status effects now change the color of a creature’s board tile, giving you instant visual feedback:

Silence – Teal
Double Strike – Red
First Strike – Orange
Root – Green
Spell Immunity – Yellow
Charm – Pink
Additionally, status effect icons in the order panel now feature their corresponding colors on the sides for quick reference!

⚙️ Expanded Settings Menu – More Control Over Your Game!
We’ve expanded the settings menu and organized options into dedicated tabs. New adjustable settings include:
✅ Screen Camera Shake – Toggle screen shake when taking or receiving direct damage
✅ Screen Color Flash – Toggle screen flash effects when taking or receiving direct damage (Now disabled by default)
✅ SFX Volume – Adjust sound effects and narrator volume
✅ Music Volume – Adjust game music volume
✅ Window Render Resolution – Change game window render resolution

Bonus: Your settings for Screen Camera Shake and Screen Color Flash are now saved between sessions!

🎭 Scum’s Ability – New Visual Feedback!
Scum’s ability now provides clear visual feedback—any creature affected will transform into a Festering Abomination. This doesn’t change how the ability functions, but it ensures you always know when Scum has done his work. The ability’s description has also been updated for clarity.

📜 Additional Fixes & Changes:
- Updated Stone Skin and Berserk descriptions to better reflect their effects.
- Shortened Fortune enchantment description for better readability.
- Mouse can now be used to clear the "Press Any Button" prompt on the main menu.
- Game Credits updated.
This update focuses on quality-of-life improvements, making CardScrawl more intuitive and user-friendly while keeping the core strategy intact. Let us know what you think in the discussions!
