[h2]Change list[/h2]

[h3]Opportunities[/h3]
Opportunity decks used to be 20 pairs of common cards and 10 rare cards.
Now, each Hero has 35 common cards and 15 unique cards that are only present in that hero's deck.
An increase from 30 to 95 unique opportunity cards.
Heroes now have colored icons, and their unique Opportunities display that icon in the top-right corner.

[h3]Spite[/h3]
Spite 2: Changed from 3 useless Opportunities to "Gain 1 Stress when losing an Orientation you did not have"
Spite 3: The Restless Rests Disaster changed to no longer give +1 Despair

[h3]Disasters[/h3]
Sudden Sandstorm: Changed from 7 Stress to 6 Stress, -3 Orientation stays the same
Flash Flood: changed from 2 Opportunities to 3

[h2]What's Next[/h2]

[h3]Disasters[/h3]
There are 10 new disasters that are coming in the next few months to torment you on your desert journey.

[h3]Lore[/h3]
Heroes' feelings matter. In the next update, they will express their feelings and let you know a bit more about themselves

[h3]Tutorial[/h3]
Your feedback is heard - an updated tutorial is also on its way.

[h2]Board game[/h2]
Lastly, Azoove, the board game, is now under development! Stay tuned.


[h3]As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for playing! You are why we make games.[/h3]

[h3]This patch has a few minor changes to improve some quality of life:[/h3]

- When Opportunities resolve, both opportunities are shown in parallel and linger longer for better clarity
- AI will no longer use ration decreasing Opportunities when at 0 rations, potentially ending a run
- Fixed raycast issue making some areas of cards not clickable

- Spite 4: Fear of Starvation no longer adds a despair on the last day, preventing a feel-bad moment of getting a rest day from having low rations despite having enough to reach Miz'rak

- Hearts pulse when low health heartbeat sound is played
- Tendrils indicating rest days pulse when about to rest
- Sorting order of one of the food crates fixed to be inside the cart


The next patch should include some balance tweaks, if you have any balance input let us know on the Discord

[h2]Thank you all for playing![/h2]
