Updated Screenshots!

First and foremost, massive thank you to everyone who participated in the Inkborn Open Playtest last weekend! ๐Ÿ˜€ Based on what we've learned, we're introducing a few important changes:
  • Youโ€™ll now gain 3 Chronicle points (instead of 10) for visiting a node youโ€™ve already explored on the map.
  • Advancing to the next Chronicle Level now requires 120 Chronicle points (instead of 100). This change gives us more room to balance rewards and challenges across longer runs.

All the mentioned adjustments have been implemented and will be included in the upcoming release build. Weโ€™re open to and welcome any additional feedback on how Chronicle Points, Curses, or other mechanics and features are handled. ๐Ÿ˜‰

We've also updated the screenshots on our Steam page to better reflect the latest visuals and improvements in the game. If you get a chance, take a look and let us know what you think! ๐Ÿ˜Š
