DevBlog #32: More Fixes, Improvements & A New Lore Piece!

DevBlog #32 – February 13, 2025

[h2]🚀 The Journey to Launch Continues![/h2]
As we push forward toward Shields of Loyalty's full release, our focus remains on refining the experience, fixing critical issues, and making every battle feel immersive. Update 0.9.0.32 is another step toward that goal, addressing several key issues and introducing some much-needed improvements to gameplay flow and visuals.

One of the most important fixes in this update is for spellcasting-only units, which previously had unintended attack behavior. Additionally, we’ve polished UI interactions by ensuring units with no available actions will be properly greyed out and that turn confirmations will be skipped if no units have actions left—making the game feel much smoother.

We’ve also made updates to the title screen animation and enhanced spell effect visuals, creating a more polished and immersive experience. These small but crucial refinements bring us one step closer to a final, feature-complete version of the game.

But that’s not all! The world of Shields of Loyalty is constantly expanding, and tomorrow, we’re excited to unveil Lore Piece #16! 📜
