Hello and welcome to another dev update for Slay the Q!After all the previous new content additions, this time we have a round of smaller improvements. All the new encounters and cards can now be unlocked, with a popup showing you what you just got. New deck unlocks are included in this as well.I have added a few small UI updates. Hover effects on some buttons were changed to be more consistent with each other. Encounter modifiers also got a small update to their icons, which are now all unique art instead of placeholder letters. A few new audio effects were added as well.In addition, there was a small update to remove too many instances of Silver Cup in awards.

Slay the Q Devlog #7
Hello and welcome to another dev update for Slay the Q!I've been busy with new content. New cards were used to create dozens of encounters, each with unique deck and loot. Actually, I needed so much loot for them that I ran out of artifacts. To resolve this I decided to add a few dozen more to the game. This is still work in progress, but getting close to done.While working on all of that, some various bugs and issues were identified and fixed.Store page screenshots and trailer got a refresh to reflect new graphical elements.If you have any feedback about the game, don’t hesitate to use the Feedback button available in the game!Read full article on Community Announcements (CzlowiekImadlo)AnnouncementsOfficial
Slay the Q Devlog #6
Hello and welcome to another dev update for Slay the Q!Another two weeks, another demo update. This time changes are mostly cosmetic, but it's still worth trying out!A four legendary encounters were added to the demo version, as it felt lacking without them. Rare ones that were used instead were not interesting enough. They should present nicely combined with the upcoming boss feature.There were smaller visual updates. Buttons have a new design and should combine better with the rest of the UI. Some artifacts got their descriptions updated to more clearly indicate how they interact.New cards initiative saw a significant progress, with both Chaos and Void card sets being done. These will be used to construct new enemy encounters, and a way to unlock them in the closed testing build.If you have any feedback about the game, don’t hesitate to use the Feedback button available in the game!Read full article on Community Announcements (CzlowiekImadlo)
