Dear Heretics!

First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support and invaluable feedback. Your dedication has been instrumental in making Heretic's Fork even better. Today, we're excited to introduce an update aimed at tackling a persistent issue - what we've affectionately dubbed "Collection Bloat."



As your card collection grows, so too does the challenge, making it harder to build your ideal deck. We're here to change that with two exciting solutions:

1. 
   Round-Reward Scaling:
   
   Completing a stage now grants you card options tailored to your collection's size. Say goodbye to the struggle of finding those perfect cards. Starting with three choices for smaller collections, this scales up to seven for larger ones.
   
   
2. 
   New Cards:
   
   To expand your deck-building opportunities, we're introducing a host of new cards. These will become available as your collection reaches certain milestones, some even finding their way into default character decks.
   
   

🌟 Patch Highlights:

• No more revealing cards during the end stage round
  
• Card choices at the end stage now scale with your collection's size
  
• Exciting changes to the Cheater! Card
  
• Optional damage number display
  
• Fresh challenges to unlock brand-new cards
  

🃏 New Cards:

• Replenish
  
• Variety
  
• Mimic
  
• Severance
  
• Easy Choice
  

⚒️ Bug Fixes & Balance Tweaks:

• Hemorrhage card's AOE increase has been dialed down
  
• Negative AOE values are now a thing of the past
  
• Fixed crashes related to the Replenish card
  
• FPS-based automatic damage number display toggle
  
• Resolved crashes with Prayer of Duplication
  
• Upgrading two level 5 cards no longer leads to crashes
  
• Endless mode now correctly increments days
  
• Game pauses as intended during shop rifts
  

🧹 Optimization:

• Enhanced enemy rendering performance
  
• Improved enemy shadow rendering
  
• Adaptive enemy code execution during low FPS conditions
  

Thank you for your continued support, and remember: Hell awaits, and there's no escape!
