🧩 Patch 0.10.3 is live!

Aloha everyone!

New patch is up and brings a loooot of small (and some big) bug fixes, plus a few changes following your feedback 💛

Let's dive into it 👇

🐛 Bug Fixes

⚙️ Gameplay

• Fixed: We could bypass Polgeisha with the Pause Menu

• Fixed: Valhalla gave the same 2 pieces if 2 different pieces fell

• Fixed: Valkyrie Gambit activated without letting you place the Queen

• Fixed: Elite pieces didn't lose protection if two pieces fell at the same time

• Fixed: Lifeline Gambit didn’t trigger when selling a piece

• Fixed: Lavender Gambit spawned the capturing piece instead of the captured one

• Fixed: Castling Gambit only triggered after moving a rook instead of any piece

• Fixed: Spamming left click allowed illegal moves

• Fixed : Continuing a saved game resets Limited Edition Gambit's sell value

• Fixed : Promotion with Super Hero Cap's Cap Gambit not displaying promotion buttons

• Reworked: Entire piece detection logic to avoid the tutorial bug some of you encountered.

  I couldn't reproduce it after this, so I assume it's fixed — but I’m still keeping an eye on it!

👀 Visual & UI

• Fixed: Shop overlap with pieces sell value

• Typos fixed in:

  • Recruiter Hat description

  • Aphrodite description

  • White Crown description

  • Valhalla description

🧠 Stability

• Fixed: Seraphin's Gambit caused weird interactions (null reference errors)

• Fixed: Tiles that could crumble... crumbled forever 💀

✨ Small Updates & What’s Next!

🔒 No more soft resets!

The game now saves each of your moves instantly during play!

Once a move is played… it’s played for good 😈

Say goodbye to soft resets 👋

🔥 Removed (for now)

• The Morphing Gambit and Chosen One Gambit have been temporarily removed.

  They caused too many issues, I want to take the time to refactor them properly!

⚠️ Quality of Life

• The"!" threat effect now triggers right from turn 1

• Add more info on Gambits on Mouse Over.

🚨 About the Mac bug & next updates

This is the last update for this playtest, unless:

• I find a fix for the Mac capture issue affecting some players

• Or someone finds a blocking bug that makes the game unplayable

🔮 Looking ahead…

Thank you all so much for sharing your ideas, your frustrations, and your unique ways to play!

It helped me see that some Gambits are very (too?) strong. I love how they’re being used, and I won’t nerf them to the ground.

Instead, I’m planning to tweak them, keep their soul and fun gameplay, but add a little twist I’m keeping secret for now 😏

I’m thinking about:

• Apocalypse Gambit

• Valhalla Gambit

• Chicken Gambit

Other Gambits that are on my radar but that will get a different treatment:

• Lemmong’s Gambit

• Warlock’s Gambit

• Weird Pot’s Gambit

• Bribe’s Gambit

• White Crown’s Gambit

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE how those Gambits works! I just want to make the game more fun and balanced by tweaking them without changing their core mechanic!

And lastly, the Gambler Gambit felt a bit too powerful… I’ve moved it from Epic to Legendary. Let’s see how it goes!

⚠️ Important note:

After the update, some in-progress runs might be corrupted due to changes in the save system…

Sorry about that 🙏

Thanks again for playing and being part of this adventure.

You’re helping shape the game more than you think 💛

Let me know if something breaks!

Otherwise, enjoy the new patch 😄
