2.3.0 Update

Novus Orbis already had pad controls before, but I decided to temporarily disable them because it was getting hard keeping up with bugs (I test with a mouse and I couldn't track issues efficiently by myself).

With my Kickstarter and the Deckbuilder Fest getting closer I decided it was time to work on putting them back into the game.
It may still not be perfect, so if you plan on playing with a pad let me know if you find any issues!

Together with that, I also thought it would be nice to try adding Achievements to the demo!
This wasn't planned, but I guessed it may give one more reason to play it, and to give an idea of its depth and length.
So far I put 16, nothing extreme, they should be easily unlockable if you know the game already.

Finally, a few more small changes:

  • Removed the newly introduced blessing, Pleasant Breeze. I didn't realize it was basically a duplicate of another blessing already in the game.
  • Removed Pets' abilities descriptions. They looked ugly, and I need to think about how to display them when using a pad.
  • Added a "news" text box in the main menu, as well as a button that brings you to the Kickstarter page.
  • The Maker's "card not found" attack is now a multiple attack.
