Replay and QOL Update!

A new update is here, chock full of improvements to the core gameplay loop. A special thanks to the many demo players who gave great feedback; many of your ideas ended up in this update!

New Content

• The Tutorial has been reworked majorly! It should now provide a much better onboarding experience for new players.

• The game now features a replay system to allow you to figure out what happened after a crazy round!

• Spectral now has a visual and sound effect when it is being triggered

• Dodge now has a visual and sound effect when it is being triggered

• Heal area and heal now have a visual effect

• If your commander is damaged after battle, you have a chance to get health back instead of a unit level up or pick three!

Balance Changes:

• Buffed Trickster to feel like more of an upgrade from rogue

• Pike warden reworked to now give defense every turn, as well as improved sides.

• Removed team defense ability from forge; too good and simultaneously confusing

• Catapult's health has been nerfed. It was simply a bit too powerful for a tier one.

• Heal area has been cheapened to a 3 cost spell, but only heals 3 hp at level 1, and 6 at level 2

• You can now only duplicate one die from the mimic room

• Witch hat now can only be triggered a maximum of twice per round

• Mana storm now additionally removes the opposite commanders mana

Progression

• New progression challenges for the devoted tier 3 units

• New progression challenges for Spears of Hope and Jolly Men hands

Fixes:

• Fixed a setting causing spells to display their bindings

• Fixed a bug causing dice that are not dying to play dying effects

• Fixed a bug causing "Row Defense" ability to not work

• Fixed a bug causing level up screen to not show detailed views of dice.

• Reworded Cleanse die side to be easier to understand

• minor typo fixes

• A new visual for weakened dice. This one looks a lot better imo

• Fixed an issue where the die hover menu would be over more important ui elements

• Fixed an issue with music cutting out after dying

• Fixed an issue causing the Three guards to attack the commander when they shouldn't be.

• Fixed an issue where rapidly whipping a die would cause it to attack the commander when it shouldn't be.

• Fixed an issue where leveling up dice wasn't updating the die data.

• Minor optimizations for dice

• Fixed a bug where drill displayed 4 gold per 3 kills instead of 2 gold per three kills.

• Fixed a bug causing the targeting system to lie

• Fixed a bug where returning to a save game removed certain sound files

• Changed defend description to be more clear

Misc

• Passives have been moved to a different location below the commander! This should hopefully keep the battle screen a bit easier to read.

Until next time, good luck commanders!
