Beta v0.7.3 Released


Most lunges can now be played on empty tiles too! They can still be double-clicked if there's only one target.

I've rewritten and redrawn the intro cutscene to establish the setting a little more. This will eventually join with a revamped tutorial.

In the meantime, please enjoy various clarity improvements, like being able to see which of an enemy's cards is a locked AOE.

Changelog

v0.7.2 -> v0.7.3

Bug Fixes

- Tooltips no longer persist when exiting to main menu.
- Fixed water foam effect causing z-fighting with certain terrain.
- Fixed a typo in Glass Leviathan's flavour text.

Story

- Implemented act I scene V and act II scene I (not accessible in the demo, but they're written).
- Rewrote the intro cutscene.
- Shortened post-tutorial cutscene.
- Cutscenes fade in and out a bit faster.

Visuals

- Added an effect to cards that are changed mid-battle.
- Added an effect when memories are activated.
- Tooltips have a distinct colour depending on whether they're for units, statuses, or terrain.
- The path choice menu now darkens and blurs the world when it first appears, not just when it reopens.

Quality of Life

- You can now click outside the card upgrade/removal preview window to close it.
- You can now click outside the path choice diamonds to close the menu.
- Examining enemy cards now shows which are locked AOEs.
- Certain tutorials no longer appear when it is clear the player already knows what they teach.

Cards

- Most targeted lunges/retreats are now non-targeted lunges/retreats. This means that you can now use them as mobility cards.

Enemies

- Swarm enemies can no longer gain special behaviours. They generally don't survive long enough to make use of them.
