Dev Log #020: 2022-07-23

This week, we continue implementing the 2nd storyline: Soul Mountains, building mod tools, balancing, and fixing bugs.

[h2]Chapter 4 Update[/h2]
  • We are wrapping up the Soul mountains storyline, adding performance, special effects and sound effects. We are on track to open testing on the pre-release branch for Soul Mountains next week!
We also added a trial level 20 specifically for final chapter (available on pre-release branch now):
  • High Taoist God will only give curse cards in Trial 20
  • Jade Emperor's card limit each turn increases instead of decreases when the player triggers it
Ending scenes
  • Good ending

* Make sure to switch to the “pre-release- Release Candidates” branch to test (currently in Simplified & Traditional Chinese only, and we are working on the English version for plots).


[h2]Mod update[/h2]
  • This week we encountered some technical issues in developing Mod UI, and we are working with Steam Support to find out the solution.

[h2]Optimization[/h2]
  • Hotkeys: we are implementing the hotkeys to optimize in-combat experiences

[h2]Balance and Improve[/h2]
  • Decrease the Good/Evil requirement for entering the final chapter from 5 to 3, so it is much easier to achieve at high trial levels
  • Now the High Taoist God does not give curse cards on trial level 0-19

[h2]Bug Fix[/h2]
  • Fixed a set of story and text bugs for chapter 4
  • Other bug fixes
