Version 0.2.0 - Avarice and Cupidity

Take heed Barber Surgeon for avarice and cupidity have befallen the village. A new Entity with 3 difficulties, 21 new cards, 2 new transmuters and 69 new Lore snippets.

We are happy to finally share new in game content with all of you. This time around while developing the new content we had a big focus on player agency. That means this update is focused on content that can be used in many different ways. Many cards in the new update are like little building pieces that you can assemble however you want. Same goes for how you defeat the entity. A little hint before you open the game: Avarice and cupidity are famished and you decide what stat you want to sacrifice to satiate that hunger.

Changelog

We have also worked on the existing content: A few balancing changes, and quality of life features.

Cards

• Gluttony:

  • +15 Purity -> +10 Purity

  • +15 Health -> +10 Health

• Marvelous Tang:

  • While in Hand: +5 Purity -> +3 Purity

  • Rarity: common -> uncommon

• Marvelous Zest:

  • While in Hand: +5 Health -> +3 Health

  • Rarity: common -> uncommon

  • was previously "Feline Substitute"

General

• Reduced rare chance for Bloodstone extraction card rewards: 35% -> 10%

  • Our vision for rare cards is that the can be run defining with unique effects, leading to diverse runs depending on which rare cards you find. With a rare chance too high you tend to find all rare cards in every run, decreasing the diversity in different runs. It is definitely a change that makes the game more challenging and we will monitor this closely and adjust it if the game becomes too difficult.

• Decision algorithm for which villager goes into the Queue:

  • 1 villager with lowest Purity and 1 villager with lowest health will be the last 2 positions in the queue. Rest is random

  • All Queue positions are random but every villager near death (dies next night) will be prioritized

  • So for example, if there are 3 villagers near death, the queue will be comprised of the 3 near death villagers and 2 other random villagers

  • if there are more then 5 villagers near death they are randomly selected.

Quality of life

• Added Keywords with tooltips for card effects

Bugfixes

• Blessings

  • Fixed a bug where multiple Blessings could be triggered at the same time. They now spawn one after another.

• "Exploit" Cards (Cards that trigger when discarded from hand)

  • Fixed a bug where handcards became blocked after discarding 2 or more Exploit cards from hand.

• The Impaled One

  • Fixed a bug where duplicating a card with a sword piece added a new additional sword piece to the duplicated card.

  • Fixed a bug where playing 3 sword pieces with "Covetous Ouroboroi" active. The cards where discarded before the Bloodstone extraction animation was finished. The discard effect of "Covetous Ouroboroi" now triggers after the sword pieces are removed from the cards.
