v1.2.2 Update

New Champions

I've added 4 new champion cards, the first three (Emily, Jell, & Venice) are loosely based off of the new hero cards from Clash Royale so you can experience them without the pay to slop mechanics, the fourth one (Solace Beacon) is a champion building that can revive troops that have died

New Opponent

Added a new opponent you may encounter, a steampunk artificial intelligence with a deck of the military/mech cards

(they were inspired by AM from IHNMAIMS)

New Display Type: Scroll Mode

I've added a "display type" option which allows you to swap between the split screen display and the new scroll display, I know people still aren't a fan of the split screen and typically stick with the vertical mode so I added this as sort of a middle ground, you can scroll the view up and down with your mouse wheel or by putting your mouse at the top/bottom of the window

It doesn't display as much information as the split screen view but hopefully it's less disorienting?

Festive Decorations

new banner + card borders to get in the jolly holiday spirit

Endless Mode adjustments & fixes

In addition to fixing the issue with omicron softlocking you by not attacking you (this was caused by me forgetting to add in the more recent cards to the opponent AI, whoops) but I've also given you the option to create your own deck for endless mode

I was planning on adding a "sandbox" gamemode where you can make your own deck there as well as your opponent's as a way to mess around with cards and how they interact but I've decided to scrap that for now, I may revisit that later

Hope you guys enjoy, relatively small update but I wanted to have something out for the holiday season as well as putting out something in response to the recent changes to Clash Royale (i am not a fan of them, the hero wizard they announced yesterday is pretty dumb imo)

It really sucks that CR has gone down the drain recently (more so than when I started working on Aestheta) and even though I can't really be a "rival" to Supercell, I hope that Aestheta can provide at least a little bit of the classic experience as well as adding in alternatives to the recent additions without being unfair or pay to win

Just an FYI the game is currently 67% off for the steam winter sale, so if you want to share this game with a friend now is a great time to do so (and if you picked up this game during the sale, thank you <3)

If you run into any issues feel free to dm me on discord (@aplove) and I'll try to get back to you asap

Enjoy! Thank you for playing, and Happy Holidays!
