  Final Update for Initial Release & Future Content Update Plans

  This will be the last major update patch for the initial release. The main update focuses on adjusting the final sequence of the "Glimmer" arc in the story. We believe the final ending should resemble a true ending, and we've listened to player feedback, removing unnecessary repetitive Hope value farming and adding a special boss challenge instead, transforming the final sequence into a boss fight.Following this, we will continue to fix bugs and optimize details. As always, don't worry about us disappearing.For players concerned about our future plans, we have at least two major update plans. One will be an overall optimization and supplement to the difficulty mode and card effects, and the other will be the addition of the Steam Workshop.However, we cannot provide a precise update time at this time. We will inform players once the time is confirmed.In conclusion, thank you very much to every player who purchased the game, and thank you for your suggestions and feedback!The following are the update details:OptimizationsThe final stage of the hidden storyline "Glimmer" has been adjusted: the repetitive farming of Hope value and scripted deaths during the last 90 days have been removed, replaced by a special boss challenge that must be completed within those 90 days. To this end, we have also made some adjustments and additions to the storyline. For players who already have a save file and have not yet progressed to the final 90 days, you can directly experience the new content. If you've already entered the final 90 days, you can spend them at the inn, but you'll miss some new story content, though the subsequent content remains the same.Added an encyclopedia feature: Cards, equipment, parts, blueprints, and enemies now have encyclopedia entries. However, if you have an existing save file, some previously obtained or challenged enemies and bosses will not be recorded.Added indicator lights for card synergies: After playing a character card, the indicator light on the...

  "Snow Ash" - 0114 Patch Log

  The game has been released for four days, and the development team is still working tirelessly to optimize the game content!Today, we've optimized many inconvenient aspects of gameplay and added some helpful tutorials.Here are the update details!Optimizations1. Cards that have already been learned can now be relearned in any shelter's training ground. You can switch between them using the button in the upper right corner of the training ground interface, and corresponding tutorials have been added. (Note that this feature is not available in previous save files, so cards learned before the update are not recorded for veteran players.)2. Traits can now be locked in the infirmary using materials and silver coins. Once locked, the trait will not change (negative traits can also be locked). If you need to replace it, you must manually clear it in the infirmary.3. When crafting equipment, you can now guarantee that a secondary attribute will become one of the equipment's main attributes by spending twice the materials (this could be a crafting attribute).4. The magnifying glass function for viewing specific locations in guild quests and the automatic map jump when accepting quests are no longer available. 5. Automatic return: Players can freely view the specific location of the target and manually return, with corresponding guidance added.6. When selecting cards from parts, card effects, etc., the card selection interface allows players to return to view their hand and battle information.7. In the market, warehouse, and warehouse records, tips on the output and demand of goods are displayed, and the names of the goods are also displayed.8. The recipe sorting in the cooking function has been optimized; currently, foods that can be cooked with available materials will be displayed first.9.
