Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition News

Hi again hunters! ːsmall_batː

FIrst of all, the entire team here at Nomad Games want to say a massive thank you for all the positive feedback, kind words and enthusiasm you've shown for Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition since we launched The Immortal Update Beta. If you missed the announcement for the beta, you can find out all about it here.

Our team have just rolled out an update exclusively for the Immortal Beta - so please note that if you're still playing on the default branch, none of the changes below will effect your game.

Just like before, if you notice any bugs or issues in the beta version, please post them either on the Steam forums, or in the #bug-reporting channel on our official Discord! And if you can, please make sure to include your player log - you can find information about how to provide that on the Discord!

First up, these are changes and fixes that only effect things that were already in the beta:

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• Mature or Lair choice dialog no longer automatically highlights the mature option
  
• Mature or Lair choice dialog now informs the player explicitly that the hideout has no encounter cards
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed Dark Call House Rule description error
  
• Fixed combats during the Dracula phase being considered daytime by combat cards (E.G. Claws)
  
• Fixed being unable to move to a location that just fell off of the trail
  
• Fixed not passing control to the correct character after Dracula moves a hunter
  
• Fixed Escape as Bat clearing the first 2 spaces of the trail when the slide trail house rule is enabled
  
• Fixed Heroic Leap and Escape Route resolving before Dracula can cancel the combat using a Fog Token
  
• Fixed using the Planned Ambush effect combined with Dracula selecting their combat card before the hunter on round 2 stopping game progression

• Fix maturing a vampire to cause a Dracula victory with the slide trail house rule enabled causing a progression blocker
  
• Fix online game progression blocker when Dracula chooses to mature a hideout with the Lair advanced rule enabled
  

Alongside those changes and fixes, we've implemented a whole heap of brand-new things into this version of the beta too. Check out the full list below:[h2]Added[/h2]

• Added text indicating how many cards need to be selected in multiple situations (E.G. discarding after using the Supply action)

• Added more context information when placing an encounter card on a hideout
  

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• Button text when making card choices now updates to better reflect what the player will do rather than always saying "Submit"
  
• Hunters can discard rail tickets after collecting new tickets
  
• Wolf Form now allows Dracula to select his current city if he is able to play hide rather than a separate prompt to play Hide
  
• Dracula is now able to choose any number of encounter cards in a maturing hideout to mature while the rest are discarded
  
• Mina Harker's Psychic Bond result stands out more when Dracula is in the same region as Mina Harker
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed some cases where hunter action buttons appeared for Dracula/Spectators
  
• Fixed hunters being able to become delayed to discard Aristocratic Vampire when they are already delayed
  
• Fixed cards on the trail sometimes remaining visually after they have been removed
  
• Fixed incorrect opacity for the road between Rome and Naples
  
• Fixed cards in discard piles sometimes appearing too large
  
• Fixed faceup event cards from the event deck obtained by Dracula through Hoax's mature effect remaining faceup in Dracula's hand
  
• Fixed defeated hunters being able to reveal Heavenly Host during Consecrated Ground
  
• Fixed Sense of Emergency not triggering Wild Horses
  

Hi hunters! ːsmall_batː

It's been quite a while since we've chatted, and we're very pleased to announce we're rolling out an update for Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition! We've just rolled out a new public beta for Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition, giving you access to the 'Immortal' 5.0 patch for the game.

To join the beta, select Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition in your Steam library, choosing 'Properties' and then navigating to the beta menu! From there, you can opt-in to the open beta.



IMPORTANT NOTE

• Any local saves from the non-beta version won't support these new features/changes
  
• You'll only be able to play online against other players who are also on the Immortal Update beta
  

Because there are so many changes, updates and fixes in The Immortal Update, we're rolling this update out first as a beta. We're fully expecting there to be some bugs and issues that we haven't picked up on during our internal testing (due to the sheer number of changes we've included) so if you notice any bugs or issues in the beta version, please post them either on the Steam forums, or in the #bug-reporting channel on our official Discord!

Our team will then be able to take that list and work on polishing up this patch to roll out to the entire community.

Hello hunters! ːsmall_batː

Back in 2022, our awesome community ran the first ever Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition League! With tons of great games played, tense matches and close calls, it showed just how deep the strategy in Fury of Dracula can go! Since then, we've had 2 more tournaments, and they're now looking for people to take part in their latest one.

This time the tournament is geared more towards newer players of the game. So if you were too intimidated previously, this is a great way to sharpen your fangs on some fresh blood. Check out the full details below:



If you want to take part, you can find the sign-up form here.

If you've got questions about the tournament, you can join our official Discord to chat with many of the players who'll be taking part. You can find an invite to our Discord here here!

On our Discord you'll find the full rules for the tournaments, be able to chat with other vampire hunters and generally just have a lovely chilled time.

Best of luck to everyone who signs up! ːsmall_batː
