There are a lot of bug fixes in this update! Here are the highlights:

• Fixed a problem interaction between Dark Mind and In Medias Res where a destroyed card could remain in play.

HEY! It's me, Guise. They also fixed all kinds of bugs that supposedly were related to me. I'm a bit skeptical though, as I'm pretty sure I was perfect already. Anyways, here's the list they sent me:

• Added new voice lines for Completionist Guise and a few other things. If you already unlocked Completionist Guise, click here to hear what you should have heard! If you haven't, no cheating!
• Uh Yeah, I'm That Guy! no longer counts for too many copies of certain cards. Aw, shucks!
• Training Facility now allows Santa Guise to optionally use both his powers if he discarded a card. You better believe it!
• Completionist Guise no longer incapacitates a hero when they swap in an incapacitated variant. Oops!
• Putting an incapacitated Sentinel in your collection no longer interferes with Second Chance. It wasn't my fault!
• When switching The Harpy's character cards with Completionist Guise, her tokens are now preserved. It was an accident I swear!
• Fixed a layout issue when flipping over Guise's foil character card. Finally!

Whew! That's it! Have fun!

[h2]Version 3.1.1 Hotfix Update[/h2]
This update has more bug fixes:

• Fixed a problem where Any Time, Any Place may not unlock. If you defeated all the environments in the previous version, defeat one of them again to unlock the achievement.
  
• Fixed a problem where Destroy the Destroyer or Ultimate Victory would not unlock.
  
• Fixed issues with revealed cards in certain situations in OblivAeon mode.
  
• Fixed a problem where Wrong Time and Place could react incorrectly.

This update has several bug fixes to keep the Multiverse running smoothly!

• Fixed a problem where the tutorial would get stuck on Legacy skipping his turn for Volcanic Eruption.
• Advanced difficulty for Scions is now preserved when restarting the game or trying again.
• Fixed an issue where Advanced Aeon Master could play too many Aeon Men at the start of the game.
• Fixed a freeze that could occur in certain situations with Challenge Spite: Agent of Gloom.
• Fixed a freeze with Representative of Earth when it is destroyed before choosing a hero.
• Fixed a problem where the game could get stuck at the end of Sanction's turn.
• Various other small bug fixes and improvements have been made.

As you know, we launched Aeon's End back in September (mostly). What you may not know is that for almost the entire last month of development, the team spent a huge chunk of their time tuning the engine and UI of the game to be easily our slickest, fastest, most streamlined experience to date. If you played the Early Access builds, you likely noticed the speed increases over time. These enhancements started in the engine, but really apply to every aspect of the game.

So why does this matter to Sentinels players? Because after Aeon's End launched, David informed us that it wouldn't be too difficult to bring some of those optimizations to some of our previous games! The first fruits of this endeavor have arrived in version 3.0.8 of Sentinels of the Multiverse which is available now. In addition to the usual bug fixes, this update also brings speed increases of up to 30% in some areas of the game! What else is updated in this version?

• Fixed a problem where the game could hang if a hero was incapacitated on their own turn in OblivAeon mode.
• The game no longer gets stuck if two limited cards already in play are revealed by Great Fortune.
• Fixed an issue where Brain Burn would not work properly in some cases in OblivAeon mode.
• Fixed a problem where Moving Target would not react if damage was both redirected and prevented.
• Fixed an interaction between Stripped Resources and Crystalloid Behemoth so that it is player choice where the Behemoth goes when destroyed.
• Fixed a timing issue between In Medias Res and distortion cards in the Realm of Discord.
• Various other small bug fixes and improvements have been made.


The campaign for our next game is almost over the line! As of this writing, we're less than 5% away from our funding goal. If you like cooperative strategy (and let's be honest, what Sentinels fan doesn't?), check out the campaign and kick in a few dollars if you're able. Thanks!

Sentinels of the Multiverse first launched for tablets on October 16th, 2014. It came to Steam two months later. In the five years since, more than 250,000 copies have been sold, and there’s still more to come. Thank you for your support over the years - and thanks for saving the Multiverse!



Visit SentinelsDigital.com to see all the Anniversary events!

Sentinels of the Multiverse is free-to-try all weekend on Steam. The game, ALL expansions, and ALL soundtracks are also discounted through Monday, but that’s not all!

We’re also raising money for I Need Diverse Games. Handelabra Games will donate $1 for every Season Pass or Completion Bundle sold during the event, but you can also head to our Tiltify page to donate as well! Learn more at SentinelsDigital.com.


Don't forget - our next game is up on Indiegogo right now! Join us during the anniversary week this Wednesday at 1 PM Eastern for the first development stream of Spirit Island. The campaign is over 50% funded in less than a week, but we still have a ways to go to our goal!

After working with Greater Than Games on Sentinels of the Multiverse and Bottom of the 9th, we partnered with other companies to make One Deck Dungeon and Aeon's End. But it's now time for our 5th digital tabletop game, and for this one we're partnering once again with our good friends at GTG. Say hello to Spirit Island!

Spirit Island is a deep strategy cooperative game (what can we say, we like the co-op). Players take on the roles of the spirits of the island, and need to work together to build their powers. Protect the land and the native islanders, the Dahan, from the colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction!

Lots of Sentinels fans already know and love Spirit Island (it is the home of the Nexus of the Void after all). The game itself seems very different than Sentinels on the face of it. Simultaneous turns? A board to control? But we promise, that sweet, sweet co-op gameplay you know and love from Sentinels is here in spades. Team up with several powerful spirits to drive those colonists back into the sea!
