0.5.3 Update

Novus Orbis · published 24 Nov 2025, 05:25 UTC · build 20914820

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A pretty small update that I'm forced to make because I realized there was a pretty major bug while I was working on some important changes.

The major change concerns the Mage class: I have come to the realization that, while dividing all the elemental cards to be obtained only when you have the relative Grimoire, this meant that, especially when owning only one, the card pool would be significantly limited (especially evident with Legendary cards).

Because of this, I've decided that now all cards will be available regardless of the Grimoires.

This may require some further balancing down the road, but hopefully will make the mage feel more varied.

Linked to this, I decided to make two changes to the Grimoires (now that they don't serve as element finders anymore):

They will give you 2 charges of each element instead of 1
They will allow you to increase their specific element to 100, from 50. There is no additional passive benefit when going above 50, but increasing the limit should allow players to make even big numbers with elemental manipulation.

Changes:

  • (Mage) Reworked how elemental cards are obtained, and the role of Grimoires.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug introduced with the last update that made it impossible to increase your HP.

Remember, if you like the game, each single positive review helps me a lot!

You will loop back to the first level, keeping all your pets, cards and stats, but you will lose at random half of your current blessings. Enem…Major update23 Aug 20260.7.0 UpdateHere we are! Took me more than I wanted because of personal stuff, but it's finally here: the game's last chapter . Overall, I had to cut one whole level from the game. The original idea was to have three completely different paths, instead of the current two. Sadly, with not as much time as before, and honestly, not as many fresh ideas, I decided to turn that into a final 5th stage to be acces…In-game event23 Jul 20260.6.11 UpdateGood news, the last level for the game (which will lead to 1.0 release) is done! As well as the special way to access it. All visuals done, all enemies done. All I have left to do for the big update is...quite a lot of new achievements and stuff to unlock lol. Because of life stuff, I haven't been able to develop as much as I'd want, but I'm progressing well, and I'm hopeful everything will be…
