[h2]What next?[/h2]

• Improving deck editing clarity, right now the default deck system is kind of doing is purpose but it's not really ergonomic to create and edit your deck right now. So, we will probably work on that for the next patch.
  
• Balancing and testing solo, with each gods, to provide more enjoyable overall campaign per god.
  

Thanks for everyone doing reporting on the game, that's helping us a lot. Our principal difficulties right now is QA testing, because the game scope is far too large to be easily tested by us...
We will do our best to have the game in less buggy state, but this will take us a bit of time and effort ːsteamthumbsupː.

Hello, before moving on to the bug fixes, we'd like to thank all of you who bought Dice Of Olympus. We're sorry for the problems you've encountered, but thanks to you and your bug reports, we'll be able to fix them more quickly:

- Players can no longer cast spells in the tutorial until the popup is displayed.
- Players can no longer end the round before the popup appears.
- Added translations for the "Next" button
- Added translations for roll/combat phase explanations
- Favor spells appear in god selection order
- Favor bars display spells in the right place on the bar
- Brazier lamp spawns on correct side
- Spell loading in the temple has been changed,
to allow modification of default owned spells and rewards without impacting the player's save.
- Fixed a bug in descriptions with syntax errors, e.g. "Herodata" instead of "HeroData" or "This spell does this".
- Visual bug on small spells
- Version number in bug report
- Server-side error log added when launching a spell or crystal
- Save gods when launching a game to avoid having to re-select after a game
- Spell descriptions updated
- Added missing translations for combat selection

Thanks you,

Dice Team

Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback throughout the week. Thanks to you, we're improving the quality of the game every day, and we'd love to be able to patch faster, but don't forget that the development team is only 2 people!

[h2]Multiplayer is here[/h2]



As you can see from the title, you'll be able to battle your friends or other players from all over the world! For the moment, only the "Quick Game" mode is available, with the option of inviting friends to join in later. The "Ranked Game" mode will depend on the game's popularity, so opening a ranking doesn't make much sense if there aren't many people playing the game.



For the time being, you can also only play Ares vs. Ares, of course this is only in the demo.

You can also edit your deck for Multiplayer mode using its dedicated temple!



We invite you to visit the community's Discord server to find other players for multiplayer games.

[h2]Beugs Fix[/h2]

- Texts should be consistent with spell effects
- AI should cast bonuses less on the player than on itself.
- You can alternate properly between single-player and multiplayer.
- The Temple works in both single- and multiplayer modes
- Improvement of logs when reporting a bug

We hope you enjoy Dice Of Olympus!

Best regards,

- The "Report bugs" button at the top right of the screen is working again, so you can see the feedbacks sent by players in the appropriate channel on our Discord server.
- Cyclops' HP is updated once resurrection is complete

Thank you to all those who have started playing the game, we hope you've had a great time, don't forget to fill in the feedback form on the main menu and wishlist the game!

[h2]We're taking part in Steam Next Fest[/h2].

This means that we've made a demo, and so you can come and try it out for a week for free, so that you can make up your own mind about the game.

In this demo you'll find :

- 3 Tutorials
- 3 Fights
- Ares
- The Temple

We're very sad to say that the multiplayer mode and an additional god are not included in the demo at the moment. We'll try to sort this out as soon as possible, but we can't promise that we'll get it right.

We're super excited and can't wait to see your feedback on the game!


Enjoy the game,

Algost.
