Trading Cards and Community Items Now Live!

Hello everyone and welcome players new to our community! We're four weeks into our 1.0 launch and I'm so grateful for all the positive feedback and suggestions I've received from you.



To celebrate, I've just rolled out a full collection of Steam community items that you can earn and unlock by playing Abalon. These include Steam trading cards, badges, emotes, and epic Steam profile backgrounds (like the shot of the druid hurling a squirrel that you see above).

Already been playing a lot? You're in luck: Steam retroactively rewards you for your past play time, so you should see a nice collection of unlocks in your Steam inventory already :)

Backgrounds and emotes can also be purchased with Steam points in our new points shop: https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/app/1681840/



In the past four weeks, I've rolled out 6 patches to the 1.0 version, fixing various bugs and adding a few new requested features (like support for 144HZ displays) which you can view in our update history.

Over the next week or two, I'll be continuing to fix remaining bugs as well as implement your suggested QoL improvements. Soon after that, I'll be releasing our next major content update that will introduce Challenge Modifiers to further customize your difficulty (and increase your run score), a treasure trove of new artifacts to upgrade your characters, and thematic shops where you can acquire said artifacts.



For those new here, I am a community driven developer committed to delivering the best turn-based tactics+card game experience that I can for you. I personally read all our forum posts, in-game feedback, Discord messages and Steam reviews - and I do my best to get everyone a response so you know your feedback has been heard and considered.

[h2]Here's how you can communicate with me:[/h2]

1. Steam discussion board: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1681840/discussions/
2. In-Game: At anytime during the game, you can access Menu (esc) -> Share Feedback. This is the preferred way to report bugs (since it captures a game state so that I can quickly repro and fix your issues). But, you can also use this to suggest new ideas or help train our AI by suggesting a better move it could have made. All in-game feedback goes directly to my "to-do" list and I can even respond to you directly in-game via courier tortoise ;)
   
3. Discord: https://discord.gg/d20studios (My personal username is rossd20studios) This is the best method for real-time support (and if it's urgent, be sure to ping me direct with @rossd20studios).
   
4. Steam Reviews: If you haven't yet written us a Steam review, I would greatly appreciate it! Not only do I absolutely love reading about how you're enjoying the game - each review also helps increase our community engagement and visibility on Steam.
   

Thanks for reading!
