  Card Chronicles Update 2024-09-13

  Hello Deckbuilders, There’s still no new game update this week, as implementing a proper structure for the battle flow has proven to be quite complicated. I’m working hard to ensure everything functions smoothly for a more dynamic gameplay experience. To give you a sneak peek, I’ve attached a screenshot of the new layout, where you can see the updated resource display icons. The new system shows both the currently stacked amount and the level of each resource, with each level offering a different approach to how the resource affects gameplay. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45042718/f30c2c6e30e6c8c92b4fa14f61dc06b6872fca33.png Thank you for your continued patience and support! Best regards, Jan-Joachim Müller

  Card Chronicles Update 2024-09-06

  Hello Deckbuilders, This week, there won’t be a new game update, as I’m focused on refactoring the codebase. I realized it had become too messy, which would make it difficult to implement the way resources should work and add new features down the line. Refactoring now will make everything much smoother in the future. The work is progressing well. I’ve already adjusted stats, resources, ailments, and bonuses. Additionally, the battle flow has been made far more modular, breaking it down into tiny actions like drawing cards, dealing damage, updating damage based on card effects, and resolving all effects. This approach will allow for more complex interactions in the game. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to sharing the improvements with you soon! Best regards, Jan-Joachim Müller

  Demo Update Version 0.6.2

  Good evening everyone, Let's jump right in and talk about what I did not manage to achieve this week. It was a busy week filled with new tasks, and in order to stay on top of things, I had to prioritize. Unfortunately, this meant I wasn't able to implement new enemies, resources, or cards. However, the good news is that I have already written all 35 new cards for the Brute, along with their stats. Implementing these cards will be relatively quick, though their stats may need some adjustments. Despite these setbacks, I did manage to update the UI, adjust some text, and add status ailments. That’s right—some cards will now inflict BLEED or BURN, which deal a certain amount of damage over a set number of battle turns. Additionally, for those playing on WebGL via itch.io, I’ve added a fullscreen button, making the game even more enjoyable. I understand this might not be as exciting for those using Steam, but it's a nice improvement for our web-based players. There is still a lot of work to be done to get everything just right, and I am truly grateful to all who have played the game and provided feedback through itch.io or the ongoing Indie Playtest Fest. Stay tuned, and enjoy playing Card Chronicles: Devious Deck! Best regards, Jan-Joachim Müller ### -- -- 2024-08-23 ### Added Status Ailments: certain cards can inflict ailments to a character ailments BURN and BLEED were implemented ### Changed adjusted placement of hp, armor, ailments and resources in battle screen adjusted overall ui removed old cod updated battle logic ### Removed ### Fixed
