Cobalt Core News

BALANCE CHANGES:

• Table Flip and its upgrades are all 1 energy cheaper
  
• Quick Thinking B now draws +1 card, but exhausts
  
• Math.Max B no longer gives -1 energy next turn, but exhausts
  
• 00-A Mining Drill now caps at 9 shots per cannon
  

GRAPHICAL CHANGES:

• Gave 00-A Mining Drill a unique pilot
  
• Put back a pixel that went missing
  

BUG FIXES:

• Progress bar fixes!
  
• Artifact #87 is correctly marked in the codex now. (If you’ve already seen the game’s finale, you may need to do it again to properly mark this as seen.)
  
• three cards have been removed from the codex temporarily, as they're not accessible at this moment
  
• added one card to the codex that should have been there already
  
• Event #26 has been correctly added to the pool
  
• In total, this should mean players can properly get 100% on all progress bars now
  
• Spawning objects inside of a wall now immediately destroys them
  
• Fixed a bug that caused Scrap Armor to sometimes not trigger correctly
  
• Shield and Temp Shield are no longer considered statuses.
  
• Mechanically, the only impact of this is that Boost’s “add X to your next status” will not be added to Shield or Temp Shield
  
• Fixed a crash from doubling Total Cache Wipe’s effect with Zero Doubler. Feel free to double this card all you like, now
  
• Fixed a weird niche bug where Buried Relic’s self-boost could sometimes be unstunnable
  

Bug fixes and UI tweaks:

• Power Diversion now, correctly, does not nerf Strafe or Payback shots
  
• Nanofiber Hull + Heal Booster now correctly heals you for 2 at the end of every combat
  
• Salvage Arm no longer incorrectly triggers when shooting drones with shields
  
• Pressing Q/E no longer uses droneshift if there are no drones to shift
  
• The card Glissade is no longer missing from the codex
  
• A few character shouts trigger less often. (Yes, Max, we know we have Jet Thrusters.)
  
• Controller tooltips now remember if you've turned them on/off between combats.
  
• (To prevent early players missing that they're toggleable, they will still turn themselves back on until you've beat zone 1 once.)
  
• Changed a few internal things to make modding a little bit easier
  
• Made credits easier to exit (and fixed messaging on click + hold)

Join the developers as they play through the Cobalt Core demo and answer some questions!

We recommended a dozen Steam Next Fest demos out the gate but that barely scratched the surface of the demo-o-rama. So after diving back into the demo pile myself, I have another recommendation for you: adventuring across the galaxy in roguelikelike spaceship deck-building dungeon-crawler Cobalt Core. If you enjoy Slay The Spire and FTL, do have a look, though I might argue that FTL's follow-up, Into The Breach seems a stronger influence. Ah, play the demo and see for yourself!
