Patch 1.1.0: Offline mode & balancing

• "I want to play when I'm on a plane!" - The traveler

• "Stop killing games! I want to play even if the servers become unavailable!" - The savior

• "I have bad internet at home!" - Guy that lives on the everest

• "I want to be able to make infinite cards just for myself and don't care about PvP!"- The shy Creandor

All these people have asked for one thing: an offline mode.

And since we listen, here we are! In this update, we bring oyu a full offline mode that allows you to play even when there's 0 internet.

The caveat is that everything you do is stored offline, and is never ever ever synced with your real "online" account. (you can bring your online progress in the offline world at anytime tho).

Y

ou can enable Offline Mode in two ways:

1. If you have internet and are logged in, just go to the settings and enable "Offline mode", then click "quit game" and restart Ariokan. This will also bring all your "online" progress to your "offline" account. Please read carefully what playing in offline mode means.

1. If you don't have internet, go to where Ariokan is installed (you can get there by right clicking Ariokan in your Steam Library > Properties > Installed files > Browse) open the startupConfiguration.json file and set "OfflineMode" to "True", then open the game. Keep in mind that this method will not sync your existing account progress and is meant to be used only if you have ZERO internet access when you open Ariokan for the first time.

As usual, the patch comes with other fixes / balancing / quality-of-life improvements. Full patch notes below, but first:
