Devlog#11 Happy New Year and Update January Milestone.

Hey everyone!

Happy New Year, guys; I hope you have a great time! ːsteamhappyː
As for the update, we want to share more about our milestones and what we will do this January.

[h3]This month, we are working on our Alpha Build.[/h3]
The game is solid, but it's still tough for new players to figure out how to play it. So we are trying to polish the UX and Control as much as possible.

[h3]Details about the Alpha build Phase 1.[/h3]
- The game covers the whole gameplay loop.
- A lot of art will still be a mock-up, and there will be no or little visual effects.
- Alpha registration will be available this January.
- Steam keys are expected to be delivered in February. (We don't want to drag this out any longer ːcrying_yetiː )

We are torn between the Alpha build that looks good // or // has a complete core game loop.
We decide to go with a complete core loop.

Addition note:
1. If possible, we want to interview you after you play our Alpha test.
2. If you can't handle poor graphics, please wait for the Alpha Phase 2 or the Demo


For any further official announcements, we'll update you here.
Thank you for reading and support, have a wonderful week! ːsteamthumbsupː

You can watch our first reveal trailer on youtube or come back to the store page, the trailer should also be available. ːhappy_yetiː

[h3]A glimpse of our "beautifying" results![/h3]
Here is our new UX UI design for our game. The Black/Gold concept we love!


And of course, we can't miss the Town! All NPC will be animated! ːsteamhappyː
Still some work on the snow/wind overall aesthetic, but we love it so far!


A little update on the upgrade system. The Smelt and Forge system.
You will be able to unlock some new cards by merging the basic cards or duplicating them (including all the upgrades attached to that card, so you can duplicate that "Key combo" of yours)


[h3]What are we doing now?[/h3]
We are working on the Alpha build.
This November-December, we will be playing our game and making changes to the point that we love it.
You should be able to play the alpha build in January 2023. Please keep an eye on our future announcement regarding Alpha Test. Thank you for reading, and Happy Halloween! ːsteammockingː

Devlog#9 New UX/UI, Items and Relics.

Hey everyone,

We are beautifying our game and there is still a lot of work, but here are some updates. ːsteamhappyː
[h2]Item UX/UI[/h2]
Food! and yeah some gem shards...


[h2]Card UX/UI[/h2]
We still need a lot of testing.
We might move some parts around in the future (very likely).


[h3]Basically, revamping and beautifying our entire game.[/h3]
At the moment, our game looks so much different from the screenshots! ːhappy_yetiː (better of course)
We will probably have our store page revamp soon. It should be around October or latest, December.

We spent so much time on the gameplay, polishing the system, and taking our time figuring out the best UX for our players. We hope you are looking forward to our new store page and trailer.
Thank you for your patience and time reading this, have a nice day! ːsteamthumbsupː
