Untitled Card Game V0.17.0

kelliekellie

This is one big update.

The game has changed the organization it's under. It is now available under: https://sbox.game/wizards/card_game instead of the old ident. You will have to re-favorite it on s&box!

I've been working on this update for a while now, getting the game more ready for the release of s&box, clearing out a bunch of bugs and adding new content. I want to start advertising and being more open about the game now. My self concious doesn't fully like it, but I think it needs to be done. I still consider this build to be "Alpha", but I believe we are nearing the "Beta" stage very soon.

Everything is starting to take more shape. But don't expect the game to be anything amazing yet. It's still got a long ways to go. And I plan to keep working on it until it shines, however long that takes.

If you would like to work on the game with me, we are hiring, especially 2D pixel artists, music artists, SFX artists, game designers please apply: https://www.wackywizards.org/apply

  • Fixed the relic "Chrono Crystal" and made it function more intuitively.

  • Fixed an issue where the "Show card keywords" setting wouldn't apply to card keywords in hand.

  • Fixed an issue where when an ally dies, another ally's hand could be incorrect.

  • Fixed an issue where when an ally with equipped relics would perish, relics owned by that ally would become unavailable for the rest of that run.

  • Fixed an issue where when loading a saved run, relics on that run could accidentally duplicate.
