changedWe also localized the game trailer for all languages, and I wanted to write about making that happen! Normally, a game trailer is put together with recorded gameplay footage. If your game has text in it, then you have to record and edit gameplay across each language you want to localize for.
addedFor Overtrick, the trailer is actually auto-generated by the Godot game engine. Originally, I did this so that I could keep the trailer up-to-date with new art and animations from the game (and because I didn’t want to learn how to use video-editing software). Now, it makes localizing the trailer as simple as setting the locale, and running a script!

changedSteam post imageAdditional UpdatesSpecial Card UI Improvements. I made a number of improvements to certain special cards, including improvements to the UI and animations for cards like Bridge Overlord, Swap, and Hearts in Harmony. Triple Header, Turn the Tide, and Shine Bright should now also be a little easier to use, after some attention to how their icons work in the top-left. The screenshot below shows Bridge Overlord in action, as well as the Triple Header indicator showing that 2 of 3 tricks have been won by the player.
