changedI'm happy to announce the release of version 1.09 for DragonClash. This update features the first gameplay tweaks, some bug fixes, and another round of Quality of Life improvements (partially based on your feedback). Thank you to everyone who has shared their experiences with me on social media and the Steam forums. Your feedback helps fuel these updates!
addedEVENT CARDS - GAMEPLAY UPDATE Event cards are very powerful and can significantly alter a match. Although they can always be countered with other Events, they are just as likely to sit for long periods of time fouling up attack strategies or skewing the natural strengths of a specific dragon breed beyond what was intended. With update 1.09, Event cards now come into play with a 10-turn timer. Those turns are combined (player and opponent) and once they expire, the Event is auto-discarded. I've really enjoyed this change in testing, as it keeps the battle feeling more fluid and places new importance on when to use the Events for maximum impact.
addedDECKLISTS - FINALLY Imagine wanting to view your deck before playing it - in a card game. Oops - this one was on me. Sorry! Update 1.09 corrects my brain fart. You can now browse each dragon's deck in their lair.
addedTHE CRONE IS COMING So you're happily hunting Corlock and Sheen without a care in the world when (surprise!) The Crone shows up to crush your dreams. Well, now a new boss counter on the deck select screen will tell you exactly how many wins you have left before having to face The Crone. She'll still crush your dreams, though. Your tears are delicious.
fixedFixed lost audio bug.
fixedFixed hidden milestone badges not displaying.
