Weekly Patch 25: Building Blocks

Hey everyone, It's nice and sunny here in Seattle. This week's work was focused on balance, reworks, and bug fixes. Too many random issues were beginning to rack up.

Third Character

We now have about 60/75 card art completed and we're putting on the final balance touches. Keep in mind that balance and changes will still occur after the character is released into the main branch.

Controller Support

Work has begun to add controller support. Slay the Spire from a couch! Those who play 12 hours a day can also give your wrists a break (Tip: Remember to take a break every now and then). Our aim is to make it as intuitive and customizable as we can!
