ORX News

Greetings, Kings and Queens!

A lot of games have deep lore behind them — and ORX is no exception! The lore of ORX is surprisingly intricate and vast, but as with all things it has its beginnings.

Today we're starting a series of Lore Diaries about the world of ORX! In the first episode you will learn about the mysterious Grey Traveler, a seemingly all-powerful book and it's dark secret and 9 wars that have split the Humanity apart.

If you’re passionate about ORX and want to play an even bigger part in the future of the game then look no further than Experimental Branch. This version of the game contains everything from bug fixes and improvements to new additions and balance changes — also updating more frequently than the Live branch of the game. For instructions on how to enable Experimental Branch and where to leave feedback check our dedicated post!

[h3]What’s new in the Experimental Branch?[/h3]

New Cards
We’ve added a number of faction and neutral cards focused around indirect buffs and making more playstyles viable. For example, with cards like Voidwalker Guild and Memory of The Fallen you can now play Rune Guardians in a completely new way focused around units!



Tier 3 Card Upgrades For Dune Reavers
Previously we’ve added more upgrade tiers for the Rune Guardians faction. This time we’re adding an extra tier to Dune Reaver cards! This change will also affect the costs and power of numerous cards.



We really want to get as much feedback on the Experimental Branch as possible from you, so all ideas, suggestions and general thoughts are very much appreciated! You can share them at:


Experimental Branch will receive lots of updates in the future, and depending on situation they might be quite frequent. If you decide to switch over to Live version of the game just follow the steps described in this guide. And of course we will let you know if a big update will be added to Experimental Branch — so keep an eye out for news! Until next time!

Greetings, fellow orx slayers!

Today’s update features a new approach to tile placement visuals, as well as Korean and Traditional Chinese localizations.

Previously the user experience for placing tiles wasn’t perfect — sometimes it was hard to tell which way the piece is facing and how it can be connected to other tiles. So we’ve decided to take a new approach and remake this whole system!

We’ve completely reimagined the approach to player’s interaction with tiles and added a new hint system to help make things even more clear. Now whenever you hover over a card or try to place it, every tile will show its faces in corresponding colors, as well as all available connections.



Now once you begin placing a tile it’s more apparent that you’ve entered “Placing mode”. We hope that this will add much needed clarity into the game!

You can also enable tile borders hint for cards — so they always appear on top of any tile card in your hand. To enable the hint system simply navigate to Settings category in the Mani Menu and click “Show Card Tile Borders Hint”



Of course, we are always looking for ways to enhance your experience further, so please don’t hesitate to send us feedback using one of the options you can find below.

Speaking of making the game available to more people — we’ve also added long awaited Korean and Traditional Chinese localizations! If ORX doesn’t automatically pick up your preferred language after the update — select the language from the list in the Settings tab in the menu!

Aside from making improvements to user experience we’ve also fixed multiple bugs and made some changes. They include things like much awaited Ultra-wide monitor support, smooth camera movement and improvements for moving units in the command issuing mode.

Here’s the full list of fixes and changes:

General

• Ultra-wide monitor support
  
• Added smooth camera movement and zoom
  
• Pressing Alt now shows HP bars of every object and orx
  
• Default pause (not full pause) now has a separate icon
  
• New option: shows a hint that helps you understand the border connections of a tile card
  
• More hints on the game map when placing tiles
  
• Improved army control for Dune Reavers — now when moving your army you can't select anything until you issue the command
  

Fixes and improvements

• Depository now correctly gives gold upon dawn
  
• Arc of Scribblers now rises the card’s price instead of not doing anything
  
• Lord’s Favor now correctly displays a percentage increase instead of fraction
  
• Removed HP bars for roads
  
• HP bars of orx inside the fog of war are no longer visible
  
• Changed the mission preview screen to accommodate more orx
  
• You are now able to place the roads under Dune Reaver units
  
• Fixed Bazaar card description
  
• Fixed Interest Rate card description
  
• Fixed the freeze after defeating the Final Boss
  
• Fixed visuals for sunny weather
  
• Fixed visuals of Spinx tile
  

As always, if you encounter any issues — reffer to any platform of your choise below and let us know about your problem!


That’s it for todays update! Thank you for your support thus far and all the amazing feedback you provided! Stay tuned for future news and updates — we’re not stopping yet!
