Patch #02: Shards and Special jobs
[p]Here's the second patch for Super Fanatsy Kingdom!
Special jobs did seem to cause a lot of confusion, which needs to be solved by explaining them better. For the meantime just a quick fix so they do not continuously drain your wallet.
As for shards, it seems my design does not work as intended. Things like the islands and heroes were meant to be unlocked over a longer time, so even if your run did not break your glory high score, you still have some progression. For players who are very stuck, it feels like that one island unlock is stopping them from progression. That is related to difficulty as well of course. I have reduced the shard costs this patch, but will try to improve this further.
I've read the concerns under the last patch notes about whether the game will become too easy as a reaction to negative reviews, but I can assure you that I do monitor the situation very carefully and only adjust based on unfair deaths. There are also 5 curse levels with increasing difficulty to test your skills at and earn more glory.
