Novus Orbis News

While I wasn't planning on updating the demo anymore, I realized there were a few issues/things that needed to be addressed.

No new content here, but a few changes and additions that should make everyone's experience a little more enjoyable.

• Some cards now contain keywords instead of whole sentences (like AOE instead of "to all enemies", with relative tooltip).
  
• Added a new setting to make cards and tooltips bigger, especially useful on smaller devices like Steam Deck.
  
• French language added (as well as placeholder flags for future languages).
  
• Settings are now saved between sessions.
  
• Added cloud saves support.
  
• Added a button that can be used to take you out of softlock (it may or may not solve your issue depending on the cause).
  
• You can now access the menu using the Esc keyboard key.
  

I will probably add more languages, hopefully before Steam Next Fest in June.

A reminder that I will give Kickstarter a second try in June, around the same time as Next Fest (haven't decided on a specific day yet).

As always, thank you very much for the support!

Not a huge update, but I'm trying to address a few issues (both with bugs and balance), especially considering I'm getting a lot of new users lately!

• The Dummy won't give you Special Cards you already currently own.
  
• The Mage class will now start with a random Grimoire.
  
• Reworked Cards: Sword Fracture, Rewind, Random Page, Tonic.
  

Let me use this chance to thank all the new players who seem to be enjoying the game!
And of course, all the existing players who keep supporting me.

Finally, a reminder about the ongoing Kickstarter!

While things are still moving slowly, at this pace I won't be able to reach the goal.
Deckbuilder Fest was pretty useless for Novus Orbis (it was difficult to find the game EVEN when I actively tried lol), so I didn't manage to use it to redirect traffic to Kickstarter as I planned.
If things don't get VERY good, I will probably cancel the Kickstarter in about a week, and retry in June during Next Fest.

Here we go!

For one month starting today, March 25th, you will have the chance to support Novus Orbis while getting some juicy rewards in return!

Click here for the Kickstarter Campaign!

It's been almost two years since I started this journey, almost one year on Steam.

This is a very important milestone for the project.
I want to thank everyone who has tried the game so far, and all who gave me feedback!

This Kickstarter campaign can be of huge help to make this game bigger and more enjoyable, both for myself, my current player base, and for whoever will come in the future.

Every single one of you counts a lot!
And even if you don't feel like supporting with money, spread the word!


Today will also be the start of the Deckbuilder Fest on Steam.
Take this chance to try the game again!
I've been updating weekly on average, and if you haven't played in a while I'm sure the demo will give you many new surprises.

I am also very proud and honored to announce a publishing collaboration with 2 Left Thumbs!
They've been of great help so far, and I'm very happy that our collaboration is now official!

PS.
For the duration of the Kickstarter campaign, the Mage class will be unlocked for everyone who wants to try it!

Not much going on, just working on making the current version as polished as possible!

A few changes for this update:

• New main menu art.
  
• 3 new achievements.
  
• Minic can now be found as a normal pet, and Great Mimic drops one random pet item.
  

Can't wait for the Deckbuilder Fest to start on the 25th, as well as my Kickstarter that will probably be launched the same day!

As previously stated, no new content for a while.
I'm working on making the game as bug free and balanced as possible in preparation for the Deckbuilder Fest.
