Character 4 Progress Report #5

Happy Friday,

This week we've been continuing work on art polish and card design via some A/B testing!
While we'll still be doing some card work, more efforts will be put into UX and bug fixes + some work on non-card content.


The physical editions for Slay the Spire have been delayed from 11/8 -> 11/15.
Sorry for the delay :(.
