0.6.3 Update
Hello everyone! Some more balancing for the Mechanic, and bug fixes. I have to say that I find the game to be in a very good shape. At this point most of the stuff I'm fixing are some very specific interactions between…

Hello everyone! I will be pretty busy for the whole weekend, so I wanted to push one update before then. No new addition this time, but I've been slowly polishing stuff, fixing bugs, and made a few fundamental changes t…
0.6.1 Update
Hello everyone! First thing first: my daughter was born on January 13th! Just two days after my own birthday. She's healthy, cute and surprisingly quiet :D I've been updating the game a few times a day since I released…
0.6.0 Update
She's here! I'm glad I managed to wrap this up before my daughter joins the family (spoiler alert, less than 2 weeks left). The 3rd class is finally done, the Mechanic. I'm happy with how she came out visually, and mech…
0.5.4 Update
As I keep working on the new class (I'm over 60 cards, so I'm about halfway through, tho balancing is being trickier than I hoped), I keep making changes, balancing, and fixing bugs, so I want to push stuff at least onc…
0.5.3 Update
A pretty small update that I'm forced to make because I realized there was a pretty major bug while I was working on some important changes. The major change concerns the Mage class: I have come to the realization that,…
0.5.2 Update
Good news, I've been working on the third class, the Mechanic! So far I've made 30ish cards, with some new core mechanics. It feels pretty fun, but I'll need a lot more cards before I can actually release it. In the mea…

A small but hopefully significant update! First of all, Novus Orbis has reached 50 Reviews, 94% positive, with the tag Very Positive! Thank you everyone who helped me reach this small but significant milestone! The game…
0.5.0 Update
I'm finally done with this! It took me way more than I wished, I apologize. This is, visually, the level I've wanted to make since I started this project. Like I said in the previous small update, astrophotography was o…
0.4.4 Update
This is the longest I've gone without an update since release. Live has been a little busy recently, so the next level is taking me more than I hoped. The good news is that I'm done with the last boss! Now to the enemie…
0.4.3 Update
Good news, I've been working on the next level (the last for the second path), and I've finished working on the backgrounds. But since a whole level takes time, I've decided to take a break mid way, and address a few kn…
0.4.2 Update
No new content, this small update focuses on a few issues I've fixed and some balancing tweaks. Addition: (General) More a bug fix than an addition, but since version 0.3.0 the game stopped presenting the "mirror" porta…
