addedI've been busy working behind the scenes on some major game systems cough saving and loading cough and I can say that they work and don't break the game! So with that, I can start on new content AND a new demo. What's first, you might wonder? Well, let me show you...
addedScoring Hands!Hands will be getting a rework in the coming update. I noticed that people (and myself) focus on leveling only two or three hands each run. I also saw some players selling off hands they didn't use ( which is a valid strategy! ) and focusing on their leveled hands. This update addresses that, and adds more choice for the player.
changedScoring Hands!The starting hands are going to be reduced from 8 to 6. Full House and Large Straight are going to be moved to the shop pool, leaving only Pair, 3 of a Kind, 4 of a Kind, Cast, Small Straight, and Trash to start each run. The number of hands you can have will be reduced from 12 to 8 . Why, you may ask? See for yourself:
addedScoring Hands!I wanted to redo the art to add more personality to each hand, and to do so I needed to make them bigger. This reduces the space available for hands, but I think it is worth it in the end. I'm also working on getting some new hands and dice in for this next update. Here's a look at some more updated hands (and a sneak peak at a new one):
addedWhat's next?My plan is to start work on more major game systems with 1) localization , and 2) achievements and unlocks . I'll work on these system alongside new content ( dice, hands, pins, bosses, etc. ). These updates will be part of a beta test to prepare for a demo late January/early February. Keep an eye out for some more info soon on how to join the beta.
