Heya itch!

You've read the title right, we're moving on from Prototype to Demo! The newest release adds a ton of new features and is also gonna be available on Steam, as part of the TactiCon game festival! 

What's new?

- Updated Tutorial!

Meet Tippy, who will explain the mechanics of the game in a more user-friendly and clearer way than before!

- Metaprogression Systems!

After you finish a run (that is far enough), you'll meet a strange new character that will help you unlock more content in the game! On top of that, we've updated the way we handle unlocks for Pilots, and created a new Mech XP system that lets you unlock new cards and artifacts! 

- Run History

You'll now be able to see your Run History and score in a new scene! We're gonna be adding more features to it in the future, but for now it includes your deck, score, time played, etc.

- Updated Visuals

We've updated the visuals for the More Info scene, Victory and Defeat scenes, and the Main Menu! This is part of our on-going rework of all the scenes in the game. We're still working on the Deck view, Glossary, and the settings menu as well!

The new More Info scene let's you check out the AOE for some of the weirder cards like Flamethrower, as well as a new button that let's you check out all the possible components a card could get.

What's next?

Other than patch fixes and balance updates, we won't be doing as many major updates as we prepare for our EA release sometime near the end of the year! The next major update you can expect will be the Next Fest update, which will also be the last update for the demo - that update will bring the remainder of the visual upgrades, as well as add animations to the game! (the grid entities will all be animated)

However, if you're starving for more content, we will be opening up beta testing of the new EA content on our discord server sometime soon, which includes the new mech and their card pool! Join our discord if you'd like to be notified when our beta testing begins!
