Hi folks! New week, new patch! 🤖
Patch Notes - 0.59 "Load Balancing"
LOAD CHANGES
draw cooldown is now equal to the average Load of your deck (minimum is still 2s)
Reasoning:The relation of Load to draw speed was a bit confusing. This is more straight forward.
It makes 1-Load cards less of an "always-want" pick cause there's no immediate speed penalty for going for 2-Load cards.
It makes cards with Load 3+ more viable since you can "cancel out" their speed penalty by adding enough 1-Load cards (which makes deckbuilding more interesting overall).
all Base cards (those that start in your deck initially) now have a Load of 2
With the new draw cooldown formula this doesn't have an immediate downside for your starting deck, but increases the incentive to actually replace these cards throughout a run and change your deck more over time.
cards now display their Load in drafts and shops
cards in the deck list now have Load indicators (from 1 to 10+)
MISC
cards in the deck list now display their Trigger if they have one
new Enhancement ⭐ icon on cards in collection and drafts
new color for Crit 🟣 (the previous one suggested it only affects Damage)
last selected combat speed is now remembered between sessions
found out Spike's last name, so now it's Spike Mike
added new card art
various fixes
BALANCE
Mask of Symmetry: now works with a 50% chance per Trigger creation
Heavy Hammer: now works with 3+ Load cards (instead of exactly 3)
Kevin now loses 10% of its starting damage (instead of a flat 10) per attack
Muscle Up: Load 3 -> 2

Creator Shoutout
I'm very excited that the game is starting to get featured by some awesome content creators already at this early stage. Among the earliest adopters are Wanderbots, Ultra C and German creator Wildfremd.
Every bit of visibility helps for a tiny indie project like this, so thank you very much! ♥️
