v4.3.0 - Balance and Game Flow Adjustments


Balance and Game Flow Adjustments

Some pretty huge rebalancing has been done in order to ensure that the game is a better experience for players.

Changelog

  • Town Mode Animations - We have added animations to the town mode to make it more clear in what order things are happening.
  • Building Upgrade Updates - All buildings of a type can now be upgraded by purchasing the corresponding upgrade at the Architect. All upgrade prices have been doubled since it is no longer a two step process to upgrade buildings. Right-clicking on buildings no longer has any effect.
  • Player Health Increase - The players' base has had its starting health increased from 150 to 800. This is temporary since player health will be separated from base health in the future, but for now, this should make it much more possible to get through the game.
  • Canceling Minion Attacks - You can now cancel minion attacks by pressing the ESC key on your keyboard.
  • Independent Volume Adjustment - You can now adjust music volume separately from sound effects volume. Additionally, sound settings will now persist after you close the game.
  • Persistent Scavenger Nerf - The card Persistent Scavenger has been nerfed from 4/4 attack and defense to 3/3 to be more in line with similar minions.
  • Bugfixes - Several bugs have been fixed:
    • Monster avatars will now properly display for other connected players when one player selects a monster to fight.
    • The Chaos Portal would previously generate cards with text that didn't actually execute when the card was played. This has been fixed.
  • Internal Development Improvements

What's Next?

  • Separating player health from base health
  • Difficult level adjustment
  • Fixing the game lag on monster spawn while on the town map
  • Ability to see which building is under construction
  • Some Chaos Portal card cleanup
  • Adding visual indicator for which buildings you can afford in the menus
  • Cleaning up the settings menu
  • Some minor bugfixes
