Patch Notes v0.6.9
One of the biggest updates to the demo to date. See below for the extensive list of changes! Too many to pick a favourite :)
New Features
New main menu: better colours, better buttons, better flow.
New progression menu: The progression menu now shows each Way's tile beside the sparrow, with a hover explanation.
New special effects and animations: Sacrifice animation, shield-block animation and multiple-attack effects.
PostHog analytics: PostHog replaces the old analytics system, with better GDPR-compliance and background stats upload.
Credits sequence: There’s now a credits sequence with all the best people listed.
Gameplay Changes
Whole-row attacks: Attacks that hit the whole row, such as "Going Worldwide", now trigger thorns and other effects that react to being attacked.
Discard fixes: Tiles with discard are now better at counting and discard the right number of tiles.
Tutorial improvements: The follower and draw/discard tutorial steps are clearer, and the fire tutorial step now triggers when you first get flame tiles. The tutorial no longer shows Level 2 or extra modifier icons.
Flight texts: Flight texts are now clear and direct rather than poetic.
