【Demo 0.0.5 Update Announcement】 🎉

Willy and Charlie: Solitaire Demo · published · build 25049546

Hello players! This demo update brings significant visual and gameplay refinements, resulting in smoother gameplay and clearer information. Here are the main updates:

🎬 New Startup Screen: The startup process has been completely redesigned. It now displays the two logos sequentially, accompanied by a three-stage fade-in/fade-out animation. The loading progress bar has been redesigned for a simpler look, and you can skip any stage by clicking the left mouse button, allowing you to enter the game faster.

🪙 Fairer First-Go Mechanism: The first round of each battle now randomly determines the first player through a coin toss animation, making the start of the game fairer and more ceremonial.

✨ Animation and Visual Upgrades

🔄 The turn indicator features a new flowing transition animation, with smoother avatar slide-in and slide-out animations, and supports seamless transitions between turns.

🔢 When calculating card scores, the score number will scroll in from 0; the scoreboard now includes a countdown animation to zero during turn settlement, making it more engaging in sync with the card dealing.

🎨 The battle scene now features a dynamic backdrop and rounded corners for the hand area, resulting in a more refined overall layout.

💡 Information at a Glance: A new general information display panel has been added. When the mouse hovers over a card, item, or card pack, descriptions will pop up on all four sides of the screen, adapting to the card's location. Redundant card/item information displays on other pages have been removed, resulting in a cleaner interface.

🎮 Improved Battle Feel

📳 The camera shakes when the player takes damage, enhancing the impact of attacks.

🔊 New exclusive sound effects for wins, losses, and draws in a round, providing clearer feedback during gameplay.

🔤 The stop and play buttons are now rendered with larger, clearer fonts; the translation and font size of English card/item/card pack names have also been optimized.

⚙️ Settings and Convenience Optimizations

🌟 A dynamic background has been added. Players can still toggle it on and off in the settings, and their preferences will be automatically saved.

📑 The settings interface has been redesigned for clearer categorization; the pause menu and confirmation pop-up are now displayed more consistently and uniformly.

💾 A new "Saving" notification has been added to the bottom right corner, providing clear feedback when saving.

🏷️ The main interface now displays version information and a save logo icon; the red dot, level selection background, and coin panel have been updated, and the coin display is now more prominent.

🃏 Minor rule adjustments: The first card trigger condition has been adjusted to "both players' first cards can trigger," making the effects more stable and consistent with expectations during gameplay.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback! If you encounter any problems during the trial, please feel free to let us know. Enjoy the game! 🎮
