Infinity Wars - Animated Trading Card Game News

Heya everyone, an official update that's been some time in the making we finally get to share.

[h2]We're leaving Pre-Alpha, and celebrating with a free weekend![/h2]

With the recent optimisation updates, as well as the current state of the Infinity Card Engine, we're happy enough to officially move out of our Pre-Alpha phase, starting with our upcoming patch next week!
With this, we'll also be opening the game up to everyone to enjoy for the weekend, where we'll be stress-testing the servers, and getting more data on how the game is performing on average setups. We'll also have a Dev chat happening on that same day, and livestreams over the weekend. The weekend will start from the moment the patch goes live, and will stay active until the Monday to follow. And, as part of this weekend, all users will have double XP enabled for the Summit, so come check it out between the 24th and 26th.

Additionally, we have our first implementation of a new feature that we're hoping for some feedback on; Pack Openings. For this, we'll be giving our existing Patrons their owed packs as per their Patreon tier and subscription length. We'll also have packs to give away to people who play against devs on live stream, and it goes without saying that the cards you get will be yours to keep.

Our full free-to-play open beta and kickstarter for the new set Intrigue are both on the way, likely happening pretty closely to one another, and while we can't promise these will be out by the end of the year, it's certainly what we are working towards. Please keep your expectations tempered though, we generally don't like speaking of dates to manage expectations, but we wanted to share because honestly, it's super exciting, and we wanna see you get hyped with us.

Be sure to tell a friend about the free weekend, and jump in to play some games against those who show up to play! And, for those who aren't patrons and just want to get involved in the free weekend, you can start by installing the game through Steam using the link here; https://store.steampowered.com/app/257730/Infinity_Wars_Animated_Trading_Card_Game/

You'll have access to the Demo of the game before the weekend comes if you want to get a feel for the game again, and when the update goes live you'll be free to build your decks and play your friends to your heart's content.

See you on the battlefield, Rift Runner!

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.40. An update that's been cooking behind the scenes for over a month now, Optimisation is here! This means people should be able to play on their PCs as long as they are somewhat modern. You'll no longer need the world's strongest 2080TI's to play a card game.

[h3]Reminder: FREE DEMO[/h3]
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.



[h2]Major Features[/h2]

Loading Optimisation
The Infinity Engine has undergone a sweeping change in how assets, especially spritesheets and animations are loaded and unloaded
This takes advantage of the powerful Addressables system in new versions of Unity to dynamically load and unload assets in a way that doesn't consume huge amounts of RAM that made the game very unstable on lower end machines and long long load times even on newer hardware
In addition to this new system that has improved RAM usage by up to 80% this also provides much smaller build sizes and update sizes in the future.
Finally during profiling of our low end systems we have found a number of inefficient pieces of code that has now been rewritten to also reduce CPU usage


Tooltip Improvements
Tooltips have undergone a significant improvement in its backend systems (and we hope to have prettier tooltips soon)
These new systems will better showcase keywords that have been added to a card after creation, will better handle larger numbers of tooltips, and allow for custom card specific tooltips such as on cards that place counters on themselves or have specific status effects like if they are currently Piloted.
Not all cards that meet this criteria have had the system hooked up yet, and we look forward to hearing the community's ideas on what existing cards could take advantage of these systems to better improve clarity.

We've been talking with the community and designing away for the past month or so, and after a few teases, we're finally showing off the redesign of the Exiles faction!

We'll be working on and experimenting with some marketing and advertising to see what we can do to recapture a lot of our older players, and we've recently finished one of our first public trial ads. You can check it out in the link below.

Also, as a side note, we released the "Our Progress So Far" video with the previous patch, and it's been received amazingly, with a lot of people getting hype for IWC, and enjoying an infotainment style video. Honestly, we appreciate the love and support, and you could end up seeing more new video content in the coming weeks as a result.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.36. A lot of stuff that happened recently has been boring technical behind the scenes stuff and bug fixes, but we've also had a pretty large sweeping balance change list coming out for the first time, based on community feedback and playtesting. We've also got a new video at the bottom of this article that is TOTALLY worth the watch, so check it out!

[h3]Reminder: FREE DEMO[/h3]

[h2]Major Features[/h2]

Major Stability Improvements
We have been seeing some major stability issues with games freezing up. This has been in part due to our recent large overhauls of the Resolution, Deck, and internal systems.
We have found the cause of many of these issues and fixed them. As well as updated our internal Unity version to make use of some of its powerful testing tools, optimisation, and resource alocation to improve stability.

Exile Mechanic
I think it's very fair to say that of all the factions, Exiles nearly always received the short end of the stick. However one of their unique traits has been its titular mechanic and discard themes.
We have finally implimented this mechanic, allowing you to open up the graveyard scroll view and drag cards directly from their into play.

Exile Rework Sneak Peek
Exiles themselves are also in the process of getting a variety of redesigns, buffs, and tweaks to over half of their cards to help reduce the pure amount of randomness in the faction, make them not have more cross-synergy with other factions, and improve their cost curves so they have a better variety of early, mid, and lategame options.
These changes are currently still in progress and are scheduled to be complete next patch, in the meantime enjoy getting an early look at some of the changes and give us your feedback.

[h2]Minor Features[/h2]

Dynamic Banlist
We have added a network enabled banlist that will allow us to disable certain cards from multiplayer matches without requiring a new patch. This means that if game-breaking bugs are found we can make sure it doesn't ruin people's experience.

[h3]New Spotlight Card[/h3]
Ao Shun, Incognito
Cost:1 Morale:8 (DoDx1)
Unique Character - Dragon
At the end of each turn, if Ao Shun is deployed and an opponent lost 8 or more morale this turn, draw a card.
