v7.0.0 - Polish and Steam/Discord Integration


Polish and Steam/Discord Integration

In this patch, we merged the server executable into the client executable. No longer will you need to hit "allow" so many times when the game starts. Additionally, we cleaned up a number of little things and added Steam/Discord integration.

Wait, What Happened to Version 6?

We went straight from 5 to 7 because 6 was being tested internally and needed more changes. By the time we got things ready for release, we were up to version 7.

Additionally, preparation for a Steam build took some time, so a few things originally slated for this version were descoped, including unlockable decks for completing Turbulence challenges and a few bugfixes.

Changelog

  • UI cleanup - The game's UI should now be cleaner and more consistent.
  • Removal of remaining placeholder art - There is no longer any placeholder art/sound in the game. Things may look a little rough until more art is finished, but this was a necessary step at some point.
  • Server & client merged - The server has been merged into the client. This should simplify starting the game and should also fix many compatibility issues with the Mac build.
  • Steam integration - The game now supports rich presence in the friends list on Steam, meaning other players can see what activity you're up to in game. Steam cloud saving is also supported on the steam build (not yet public).
  • Discord integration - The game now supports rich presence so other people can see your in-game activities.
  • Rank added to tooltips - The rank of cards is now shown in the right-click overlay tooltips.
  • Bugfix - shop menu - The shop menu will no longer cut off certain elements when expanded to have two rows of cards.

Known Issues

  • There is a bug on some Macs where a lot of text doesn't show up in the game. We're working on it!

What's Next?

  • Controller support.
  • Major performance optimizations.
  • Bugfix for Mac issue above.
  • Some minor bugfixes.
