Recently Released Demo + First Patch (v0.11)

A few days ago we released the demo for Drawn To Power, thank you to everyone who jumped in and shared feedback.

After reviewing early play data, it was clear that one of our core mechanics, discarding cards to generate energy and enable combos, wasn’t fully coming through in the starting experience.

This update focuses on making that playstyle more visible and rewarding from the very beginning.

Core Mechanic Improvements

Several starter cards now have added effects when discarded:

• Basic Attack → Gain +1 Resilience when discarded

• Basic Defend → Gain +1 Strength when discarded

• Focus → Gain +1 Stamina when discarded

• Mighty Morsel → If discarded as your last card, draw 2 cards

These changes should make discard-driven strategies more immediately impactful and open up stronger combo turns earlier in a run.

Balance Adjustments

To support the stronger player scaling, some enemies have been adjusted:

• AdjustedKiller RabbitMax HP increased
• AdjustedGoblin SquireIncreased armor

• Goblin Grunt: Higher defend chance

• AdjustedSkeleton ArcherIncreased max HP

We’ll continue monitoring balance as players explore these new interactions.

Progression Changes

• Increased skill points gained per battle

• Reduced entry cost for some cards

These changes aim to give players more flexibility in shaping their builds.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issues related to continuing runs

We expect more balance updates as we gather feedback — if you’ve tried the demo, we’d love to hear how these changes feel, especially around the discard system.
