Demo build v0.11 Patch Notes

Since there are so many changes, I tried to only list important stuff here.

Most of this past year has been spent working on content for the full game. This paid content will only be available in the final game: entities, planes, occult tech tree, fully explorable starting area, multiple maps / level locations, last level, more puzzles, achievements, and some more secret stuff.

But enough has changed that I wanted to do a giant demo update for everyone.

Bugs

• Dragging cards out of fortboard trader didnt have a concurrency cap and sounded hilarious

• Selling a card that was removed from a container at the fortboard trader wasnt actually removing that card from the container after selling

• Fixed lots of card clipping issues / revamped collision system

• If you step away from cardgame area while moving a stack / booster we drop them

• Fix infinite card rotate hover bug

• Fixed issue where if a card is merging with a stack and you click a card in the target stack, then the moving card drops and is not clickable until you load the game

• All starter packs have much better cards in them

• Less eggs in woods booster pack

Thank you for reading this far :]. I am working hard on the final version of the game, stay tuned for a launch date announcement!

Hop in the discord if you find any bugs / have any comments on the game especially the new systems!

This demo update is so large that I just started a new demo save file, so your progress wont carry over from the older demo build. (I will never do this for the paid game).
