Shard Squad - Update 1.0.03

PATCH NOTES:

Gameplay updates:

• Start of Drip’s game improved:

  • Our beloved nature capybara is doing very well, but we felt he needed a little boost in the early levels! Boost delivered!

• New skill for the Nature synergy!

  • We felt the Nature synergy was falling behind the other elemental synergies, so we rebuilt its skill! Now, instead of summoning a plant that shoots projectiles, you will summon a plant that deals area damage with a chance to poison!

• Ally transparency:

  • From now on, you will also be able to adjust the transparency level of support shards and helpers summoned by relics or synergies!

• Attribute value display scale:

  • For better clarity regarding Movement Speed and Collection Range upgrades, we’ve changed the scale used to display their values.

• New visual when activating or evolving squad synergies:

  • Whenever you activate or evolve one of your squad’s synergies, a visual effect will highlight the transition!

• New recipe on Chef Jokan’s menu:

  • Dash Cooldown Reduction (Açaí): a highly anticipated recipe! Now you’ll be able to make the interval between your dashes shorter and shorter!

• Improvements to several recipes on Chef Jokan’s menu:

  • We’ve enhanced the efficiency of several of our recipes. Now you can become even stronger!

• Kashmyr Archipelago and Nimbus Forest balanced:

  • We slightly eased the difficulty of the first two stages to provide a better early-game experience!

Menu Updates:

• Greater clarity in some information on the stage selection menu:

  • We added a marker for unique events completed per stage and a field to make it easier to identify the difficulty level.

• New rules for accessing Hard Mode (Hero):

  • Hard mode will no longer be available at the start of the game (unless you’ve already completed a stage in it). It will now only be unlocked after finishing the main story.

• We’ve added a new tab (System) to the menu options, featuring new functionalities:

  • Skip event freeze: allows you to automatically skip the tutorial pause for events you’ve already completed (we recommend enabling this option if you’re already familiar with the game’s events);

  • AddedChange mouse cursorwe’ve added several cursor options! You can choose whichever works best to keep it from getting lost on the screen;

  • Return to title screen: you can now go back to the title screen before the menu!

• In the Sound tab of the menu, you will also be able to change the sound effect played when collecting experience!

• Playing with a controller hides the mouse cursor after a short time.

• We’ve added a new resolution: 4K!
