Crashers of Aetheria News

Welcome to the new patch! 0.1.10 contains a bunch of new fun things in the world of Crashers

[h2]Store[/h2]
New in game store is live! Purchase Ethos to spend in the in-game shop on the Crasher Pass and cosmetic items to enhance your Crashers experience.

[h2]Crasher Pass[/h2]
With this update we are introducing the first Crasher Pass. Similar to events you will gain xp towards the pass by playing matches online. In later updates we will also have a few other ways to gain xp and they will be announced at a later date. The Pass contains two tracks: The free tier unlocks content every two levels while the paid Crasher Pass tier called "Premium" gets content every level including the free tier stuff.

We hope you can all help support the testing of the pass.

[h2]Server[/h2]
New server written from the ground up! Make sure to report any issues on the discord.

[h2]Cards[/h2]

• Sean: Kings character with the new Double Up ability. Attacking grants double attack power
  
• Gremlins: 3 new fun Gremlins that each have an ability stolen from another region
  
• Borro: Has a built in Barrier and applies a slow modifier to anyone he hits
  
• Nicole: Hitting or being hit by a friendly applies a heal
  
• CHANGE | Big Drill: Gains the Disable ability in which enemy totems are disabled for so many turns
  

[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
With the addition of the Gremlin cards. When you run out of cards in your deck, taking damage on your turn rewards you with 1 or 3 available Gremlin cards to play down. This should help speed up gameplay and allow those that run out of cards first a chance to still win.

[h2]Emotes[/h2]
Who doesnt like spreading a little joy in game! You can access your emotes in game by tapping on your players avatar in the bottom left. Collect new emotes from the Store or Premium Crasher Pass.

Welcome players!

Play games online for the next week to unlock some fun Halloween themed cards, skins, and avatar. Will you be able to get to max level?

Welcome to the new patch! 0.1.9 contains some new items around events and a bunch of general fixes.

[h2]Halloween 2021[/h2]
This marks the one year anniversary of events inside of Crashers of Aetheria. To mark the special occasion we have brought back legacy skins from last years event. Play during this week online to unlock all the skins and get the new Halloween 2021 icon just for logging in.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed accessing another screen while in queue would break the game (IE: Deck building)
  
• Can now access the settings while in game
  
• In game card selection X
  
• Deck builder now respects the amount of skins you have unlocked for a specific card
  
• Add to deck button state now properly works (will display if you can add, out of skins, or reached max)
  
• Variety of font color issues
  

[h2]End Game Rewards[/h2]
To better help users see what they are getting unlocked, we have added in a end game rewards screens. Play matches during the event to see your progress and what you have unlocked.

Welcome to the new patch! 0.1.8 contains the much needed new deck builder, promo codes and a new pre-game loading screen.

[h2]Deck Builder[/h2]
This is v1 of the deck builder and plans for an updated v2 are already in the works. We wanted to get the current version in the hands of people testing to see how they enjoy the new experience.

• New visual design to help with the building of decks
  
• Skin! Yes now equip your skins while building your deck. Got more than 1 skin? No problem you can equip a skin for each entry of the character
  
• Can now name your deck; current users will notice their deck names appear with blank names so just go ahead in the deck builder and give it a name
  
• Ether cost histogram in case you're trying to balance your deck in a certain way. More versions of this histogram will come in v2
  
• Autosaving; don't worry we got your back. Whenever you change decks or go to leave we will autosave your deck for you
  

[h2]New Items[/h2]

• Promo code; want to redeem some great rewards? check out our promo socials including discord for a sweet promo code that unlocks a ton of community designed skins.
  
• New pregame loading screen
  

Welcome to the September developer log update!

[h2]Trailer[/h2]
Currently looking to finish out the trailer for the game so we can enter early access. Cant wait to share it with everyone once it is ready!

[h2]Deck Builder[/h2]
I know a lot of people were super excited to hear we were finally going to give the deck builder a new UI pass. This is one of the last main areas of the game that has not been updated since December 2020. Here is a sneak peak of the UI and some of the features coming along with it.

• Much larger viewing area for cards
  
• Card skin selection
  
• Deck naming
  
• Personalize your deck by choosing the cover image
  
• Deck syncing for a better crossplay experience
  
• Auto saving
  
• Deck histogram to see how balanced your deck is
  
• Deck Filtering (currently not in screenshot due to WIP)
  

[h2]Promo Codes[/h2]
Back in July we held an event for Crashers fans to create their own skin design. To celebrate all the new skins coming to the game we created a promo code system in which players can redeem a code and get all the new fun skins in a single bundle. (Make sure you are on Discord to get it!)

[h2]Loading Screen[/h2]
Started work on the new loading screen which will introduce custom banners for players. Here is a small sample of the animation for the new screen. Excited to show off the new background once it's done.
