Hello everyone!
Time to share some news
before the big demo update coming in late May!
First of all,
the Strategems Fest is happening right now, featuring some amazing strategy games—including our friends developing Northwind!
Take a moment to check out their demo. They’re doing some really interesting things, like avoiding defense cards altogether and using a clever system for gaining mana/energy. It's worth a shot—trust me!

New Localizations coming up![/h3]
In preparation for Gamescom Latam (which takes place in Brazil), we’ll be releasing a
demo update with Brazilian Portuguese language support! :)
Right after Gamescom, we’ll also be
adding Traditional Chinese and Japanese!
And with the
NEW demo launching in late May, we’ll also add
Korean!

Work towards the new Demo[/h3]
The team is working non-stop (quite literally!) to get the new demo ready in time for Next Fest. As we mentioned before, this update will be MASSIVE—the most ambitious thing we’ve built to date.
- Map going full 3D and several times bigger.
- New in-game shop.
- New node types.
- Card upgrading.
- New cards.
- New enemy models & abilities.
- Introduction of the "Enemy Peripherals".
- Introduction of "Map Skills".
- New combat scenarios and camera effects.
- Updated UI.
Find below some very raw work-in-progress sneak peeks—just for your eyes ;) Be advised: lots of visual effects are missing, and some elements are placeholders!

Using "Enhancers" to reroll shop content
Spidertank new model & animation 
And that’s all for now—I’m saving a few more goodies for later.
See you around!
