You might have seen some achievements pop-up for Gemblades in your Library and you might be confused about why they are not working, I apologize for any confusion this has caused as I am currently in the process of implementing Steam Achievements to the game. They should be coming along with the next patch which will also feature the following changes:

  • Each Invasion gets a separate Leaderboard.

  • Tutorial Panel can be toggled off for Invasions I and II after defeating them once.

  • Massive optimization improvements and an "Extra Crisp" toggle in the Settings menu that allows you to pick whether you want the extra crispness at the cost of some performance.

  • Ephemeral and Exile keywords are now hoverable and bring up a tooltip.

  • You can now directly open the decks with Z,X,C,V,B during gameplay.

  • Cloud saves! You can safely play the game across multiple machines and retain your progress.

  • Minor balance boosts for some cards like Sloth, Mournstar, and Skyreaver

If you'd like to play the preview-patch before its up on the main branch, join us on Discord where I can provide you with a key for it, this will also be a huge help with making sure the next patch is stable before it goes live.

Thanks for your time!

Stay frosty,

Ace
