addedAt this early stage, even with rather few cards and status effects the combat has still earned itself an average of 7/10 amongst players, which I hope I can push to 8-9 in the future as I keep on adding more cards, totems, more surprising enemies and intricate strategies. Hopefully at some stage I can add more eye candy with exciting visuals/VFX and animations to make the combat even cooler.

This update is a mix of new content added to the game and some reworks of the core mechanics.
During this last month I have had several playtesting sessions which resulted in 30 unique users filling out my survey, providing feedback, suggestions and helping me understand what they want to see in the game next.
The conclusive opinions of people have been positive, which motivates me to keep improving the game. There are still some connections between systems to flesh out and I am actively thinking of ways to make everything more coherent.
At this early stage, even with rather few cards and status effects the combat has still earned itself an average of 7/10 amongst players, which I hope I can push to 8-9 in the future as I keep on adding more cards, totems, more surprising enemies and intricate strategies. Hopefully at some stage I can add more eye candy with exciting visuals/VFX and animations to make the combat even cooler.
Different people like it for different reasons but the visuals, theme and story have been a favorite.
Several people have mentioned that they would like more variety in the combat/status effects and more strategy options. I'm happy to say that naturally as the game keeps growing, there will be many more viable strategies to explore.
There are definitely still some rough areas, like animations, text, camera that still need tweaking but I have to prioritize more important features, so hopefully I will come back to those in the future :)
