We are excited to announce the release of our latest patch, Version 1.0.4! After a week of dedicated efforts to address various major issues, we hope to have resolved most of the problems encountered. We truly appreciate your patience and support throughout this process.



[h2]Future Updates[/h2]
Moving forward, we will continue to work on updates, albeit at a more reasonable pace. While we won't be pushing out patches every two days like before, we will still be sending out updates on a regular basis, as needed. Of course, if any significant softlocks or issues arise, we will take care of them promptly.

We are also thrilled to share that we will begin focusing on improving the overall quality of life in the game. Our goal is to make your gameplay experience as enjoyable and seamless as possible.

[h2]Balance Changes and Fixes[/h2]

• GraveStone now only Exhumes one card when killed.
  
• Hinokami now takes longer to close the arena and creates lava tiles less frequently until the final health bar is reached.
  
• Hinokami Primeval Stomp now deals only one damage to enemies above magma.
  
• Lost Wreckage Guardian is less likely to teleport under its own marked attack.
  
• Lost Wreckage Guardian's marked attack now deals four damage.
  
• Traps (e.g. web, onsen, magma) are now destroyed upon creation over puzzle tiles (e.g. sacrifice, pressure plate).
  
• Common chests in the 4 main dungeons have a higher chance of dropping basic boosters on ? rooms.
  

[h2]Quality of Life[/h2]

• Hinokami Primeval Stomp has better visual effects to help players understand when it occurs.
  
• Gizmos now complete their actions a bit faster for smoother gameplay.
  
• Tesla Claw and Pile Drivers now show their range when they receive damage.
  
• Glimpse card has an improved sound effect.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Previously, certain updates to quests were not functioning correctly, this has been resolved.
  

It appears that the progress of the "Kill a Guardian" quest given by the Innkeeper is only updating upon speaking with him. We are currently looking into this matter to determine the cause of the issue.

• Monsters that fell in a chasm with hex have correct HP when found in another floor.
  
• Copper Golem no longer softlocks the game when knocking a gizmo onto a chasm.
  
• Characters falling in a chasm and holding movement inputs will no longer end up outside of the room out of camera sight.
  
• Mobs and contraptions can no longer spawn traps over chasms covered by webs or thin ice.
  
• Slimes will no longer be teleported outside of the current room while splitting, even though this issue was occurring rarely.
  
• Illusionist teleports to the correct tile when lured.
  
• Treasure Hunter no longer heals when failing to jump on a loot tile.
  
• Some wrong traits from mob actions and cards were fixed/added.
  
• Secret Boss is properly tagged as sturdy.
  
• Lost Wreckage Guardian no longer performs Perfect Mitosis under incorrect conditions.
  
• Added missing sounds to the Whirlpool and Cannon in the Lost Wreckage.
  
• Tower of Doom Magma from crystals disappear when out of combat.
  
• Tome Sigil no longer disables Crystal Shrines on the boss floor.
  

  Not working properly on MGR, it will be fixed on the next patch.

• Fixed a issue related to Flawed Mitosis audio, but we are investigating to ensure there are no additional issues.
  

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• Arena flags may not show as completed until the player leaves and returns to town. This is a visual issue only and does not affect rewards or completion status.
  
• Traps (e.g. stun trap, puppeteer) are now intentionally destroyed upon creation over puzzle tiles (e.g. sacrifice, pressure plate) for better gameplay experience. We will make a Quality of Life improvement in the future to prevent players from mistakenly placing them in such areas.
  
• Sometimes if the game starts connected to the gamepad but the mouse is on-screen, the inspect UI might not work properly.
  

This can be fixed by going to the options and changing it to KBM and Gamepad again; the mouse should disappear.

[h2]Known Issues High Priority[/h2]

• Transcend (Oracle Card) is not working properly.
  
• Penguin puzzle crash. Seems to be a very rare issue, but we got a log and we are investigating.
  

[hr][/hr]We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude once again for your continued support. We hope that you enjoy playing the game and that our latest patch makes your experience even better!

Thanks everyone, for this great first week!

[/hr] Exciting news! We are pleased to announce our partnership with Wiki.gg. We strongly believe in the power of community-driven wikis, which is why we are inviting all members of our community to join us in creating our official out-of-game guide. We recognize that a guide developed by the community will be much more effective than one developed solely by the developers themselves.



We also want to make sure that we don't reveal anything that the community is not yet aware of, so we encourage you to join our Official Discord Server and contribute to the Wiki channels. Your help will be invaluable in gathering the necessary information. Thank you for your continued support, and we can't wait to see the amazing things we can accomplish together!

[h2]Thank You![/h2][hr]
[/hr]Rest assured, we are committed to making your experience with the game as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Everyone in the community is helping us a lot to make the game experience the best it can be. Thank you!

[h3]Hey everyone ✌️[/h3]

We hope that you are all enjoying the game to the fullest. We are pleased to announce the release of Patch 1.0.2!. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their tremendous support. Without further ado, let's dive straight into discussing the game.


[h3]About the Patch and Future Updates[/h3]
Since the game's launch, we are working tirelessly to fix as many problems as we can and ensure a smoother experience for all users. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope to continue receiving your feedback as we strive to improve the game. Our goal is to make the game the best it can be for all players, and we remain committed to that mission.

While most of the upcoming patches will focus on small changes and bugfixes, we plan to introduce more significant changes later on. However, for now, we are prioritizing making the experience better in the quickest ways possible. Balancing improvements and quality of life features may come later as they may require additional time and resources, such as localization to all languages, for example.

Now, let's talk about the update!

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Balance Changes and Fixes[/h2]

• Mirror Orb has been updated to be immune to the Damage Immunity effect. This change has been implemented to prevent an infinite loop of damage that could occur between Mirror Orbs, resulting in an extremely lengthy battle.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Playing in 16:9 monitors and wider should no longer be an issue. If any problem happens, let us know!
  
• We have fixed the issue that was causing the game to soft-lock when using the Duelist Core Drill attack. Players can now use this attack without encountering any problems.
  
• The issue of losing runes and cards when dying in Draft Arena has been resolved.
  
• We have fixed the issue where the game would soft-lock when attempting to preview non-player entities with more than 10 HP.
  
• We have updated the text for Izuna Drop to accurately reflect the card damage. The traits were already correct and remain unchanged.
  
• We have fixed minor trait issues with the following cards: Pawn's Advance, Cardinal Shot, and Brief Respite.
  
• The bug that was causing the game to soft-lock when casting Puppeteer on pitfalls has been solved.
  
• The issue of the fishing minigame where receiving two packs of cards did not grant the proper reward for both packs has been solved.
  
• We have addressed the bug where the illusionist illusion rooms were causing the game to soft-lock.
  
• Caltrops should no longer soft-lock the game.

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• Playing on monitors with a 16:10 or non-standard aspect ratio may lead to problems with the cursor, overlay, and window positioning on the screen.
  
• If you move the game window to a different monitor, you may experience unusual issues. (We attribute this to the stranger!)
  
• There is an error in the text of Thunder Charge that does not mention Reengage, although the Reengage trait is listed on the card and functions properly when the card is cast.
  
• On the next patch, the final challenge of the first set of Stranger floors (floors 1-10) will be balanced.
  
• Currently, Vampire Eyes cannot be obtained from any boosters. However, this issue will be resolved in the next update.

[h2]Future Patches and Thank you![/h2][hr][/hr]
I want to reach out and personally express our gratitude to everyone who has taken the time to report bugs in the Steam Community and Discord forum. Your help and support have been invaluable in our efforts to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to hearing your feedback on the latest patch.

[h3]Hello everyone ✌️[/h3]

Today, I am thrilled to deliver the Day 1 Patch for our game. Before that, though, I want to take a moment to talk about yesterday's release.



Shipping a game is a difficult process and comes with many challenges. Despite the bugs and the things we couldn't do, we are extremely happy and excited about our community. We have received so much love and support from our players, and we appreciate the care and understanding they have shown us.

[h3]Patch and Future Updates[/h3]
In this update, we have included major bug fixes and some balance changes. We plan to release more updates in the next few days, with the next one planned to be released between Monday and Tuesday. We will be taking a much-deserved break on Sunday to rest and recharge, but we will continue working hard to make the game even better.

Our focus for the next patch will also be on fixing major issues, but we are always open to making quick changes that can improve the game. We hope that these updates will help you enjoy the game even more and continue to be a part of our great community.
