LOST ALTR News

[h2]Happy Halloween!
[/h2][h3]We're launching LOST ALTR just in time for Halloween. If you are into classic card games with a dark twist, jump in and see how deep you can go before the ruins claim you. Before you begin there are a few things that you might want to know before descending into the ruins. We've compiled a simple text based ruleset in various languages for anyone who isn't familiar with the 'Scoundrel' mechanics and the modifications in LOST ALTR.

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Secondly, we want to ensure you know about the various card coloring mechanics that might help you discern different card types while playing. Access these options in the settings menu under 'Card Visibility Coloring'

While the game is releasing in Early Access we are quite content with where it's at in terms of design and direction of the core experience, but we think there is still room to improve, balance and explore new possibilities within the framework of the current game mechanics and look forward to community feedback and engagement.

Leave us your feedback! https://steamcommunity.com/app/3612900/discussions/

[h2]Remastered Audio With FMOD[/h2][p]We recently decided to switch to FMOD for our audio. This redefines the audio experience in the game. There were a lot of sound issues that we wanted to address with so many audio events being played, and the existing solution was not manageable. FMOD allows us to push the audio quite a bit further, and we have a lot of new ideas planned to take advantage of this in the future. Let us know what you think.

Visual FX Improvements[/h2][p]We have been implementing some new animation and FX for specific card selections. We wanted to place more importance of the cards and there abilities.

Thanks for checking out LOST ALTR - As a new player we have a few things worth noting if you plan on descending into ALTR. We encourage you to check out the settings page if you have any issues with 'creepy crawlers' or card visibility issues with identifying between suits.

Either from the main menu or in an active Trail you can bring up the Settings Menu.




Near the bottom you will find some accessibility options. The Card Visibility Coloring option has several options to choose from.
