Kardboard Kings News

Hey, card sharks!

This is a very minor update that I did just want to flag for everybody so we're all on the same page. The last build created a rare issue with the magazine that nonetheless we wanted to clip off. That's all this takes care of.

Bigger patch planned for Soon™ with some of the first exciting big news!

Here's the full list of changes:

Bugfix:
- Fixed a rare magazine bug introduced in the last update.

If you're having any issues with the game, please feel free to continue reporting them to me! I'm happy to shoot those reports off to the developers!

Hey, card sharks!

We've got another promised update out for you to play around with! This update pairs some low-hanging quality of life changes that we've seen folks ask for as well as another big round of bugfixes to stamp out any issues that have persisted since launch. The headline changes are that Clearance sales sell your cheapest cards first, Declan keeps coming to the shop even after you get all the decorations, and customers chance to buy cards now scales according to their median price rather than a fixed price.

As a note, if you'd like to see some of these changes take place, you're going to need to cycle a new day to get them to trigger. Some stuff you'll see right on loading up the game but some things will need a new save trigger to kick in, as it were.

Here's the full list of changes:

[h3]Quality of life/balance changes[/h3]:

• Clearance sales now sell your cheapest cards first.
  
• Cards in inventory are now marked if they will be sold at an upcoming clearance sale.
  
• Declan now continues to come in after all decorations are unlocked and will reward you with boosters.
  
• Reputation gain/lost from requests capped at 10.
  
• Added a card diagram to the magazine.
  
• Customers chance to buy cards now scaled with median price of card rarity.
  
• Replacing a card in your binder with a shiny will now return you the original card.
  
• Banlist events now change card prices more aggressively to try prevent the same cards from appearing on the banlist.
  
• Card colours now shown in phone news items.
  
• Card price decreases have been made more intense to try prevent card prices inflating over time.
  
• Speed of end of day price changes now scale with number to decrease waiting time.
  

[h3]Bug fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed shop fail event not triggering.
  
• Improved performance for huge card collections.
  
• Fixed incorrect calendar descriptions for some news events
  
• Prevented phone news items occurring at negative days and not disappearing.
  
• Rare impossible requests will not generate.
  
• Set posters now no longer unlock prematurely.
  

If you're still having any issues with the game, please feel free to continue reporting them to me! I'm happy to shoot those reports off to the developers!

Hey, Card Sharks!

Kardboard Kings is obviously a pretty complicated game so I wanted to sit down and provide a resource for folks looking to understand the game's core mechanics. I'm sure for many (if not most!) of you will be well-acquainted with I talk about in the video, but hey maybe you wanna hear me slip into my New York accent.

This is Buddy Gets Rich: Complicated Stuff!

This is it for the first set of Buddy Gets Rich videos but I'll probably more when some of the game's New™ Cool™ Content™ comes out. Soon. Not too soon. But soon. Hope you're enjoying Kardboard Kings!

Hey, Card Sharks!

We’re pushing a small update that has a huge bugfix in it that I wanna take a minute to break down for you. We know that there are a number of players who pushed deep into the endgame and found issues with Postie Gustaf delivering mail to you. Of primary concern, this softlocked player’s games because he’d eventually arrive with no mail and you couldn’t exit the mail screen. Of secondary concern, this means players could tank their shop into the ground by losing all their money and cards.

Both of these problems are fixed in today’s build. Posting Gustaf will be arriving and he’ll be arriving with all of the backlog packages you ordered. Fair warning, there will be a ton of mail (as you can see in the screenshot below) but it’s the most important bug we’ve been working on since we released less than a week ago.

As ever, thank you for your patience and please feel free to report any more issues to us on the Steam forums or the Kardboard Kings Discord!
