News about upcoming Update!
Hello everyone!
As you could mention we did not update the game in the last couple of months. It was a hard decision for us to make our community wait. All this time we have been working on the big 0.5 update. The idea was to concentrate new features for the future marketing campaign, so we could show the game to more players with one big push.
What we can see from the statistics - those of you who already play Hell Shuffle like it a lot. It is more than 10 hours of average gameplay time between all players! It is incredible and very supportive for us!
Thank you for your patience and participation!
Let us take a sneak peek of what we work on:
Difficulties
For those of you who already mastered the game - it might be not enough challenge right now. So we added more difficulties to the game. Difficulties not only increase the overall damage and health of the enemies but also bring some modifications. These modifications are called Curses. Starting from the second difficulty your run will get two random Curses out of 12 (18 for the third difficulty). Curses are designed in such a way that they do not only make the game harder but also give you an opportunity to utilize them or to use some cards you usually don't. For example, the "Six Fingers" Curse will Exhaust the right-most card in your hand every turn.
Visual Improvements
We have updated backgrounds, added more visual effects, camera shake, replaced some temp art, made cards in the hand move smoother and easier to read, improved battle text, changed the design of Intentions, made a custom lower time delay for repetitive skills (such as Minigun) and much more.
Music and Sound
As many of you asked we added in-game Music, as well as more sounds to make the overall feeling of the game better.
More Content
More enemies, more elites, more cards, talents, trinkets - all that you like to combine and experiment with. Balance changes are also in.
Localization
The marketing campaign will start from Russia so we are adding Russian language. However, with the code base now ready - it will be much easier to add more languages in the future.
These are the main points of the update, but we also fixed a lot of minor bugs, made minor UI tweaks, etc. A full list of changes will be posted when the update comes live.
The update is ready for `80% right now, there are some critical bugs and technical stuff we need to polish first to ensure the best game experience.
We decided it is mandatory to make a post like this, so you know we did not forget about you and the game. We really love Hell Shuffle and making our best to keep it up.
All yours,
ICE T team.
