The game has officially left Early Access. Version 1.0 includes final polish, quality-of-life improvements, and several bug fixes to ensure a smoother and more consistent experience.

Thank you to everyone who played and provided feedback during development. We hope you enjoy the full release. We'll continue supporting the game with future updates and bug fixes as needed.

The 1.0 Release Patch Notes are below:

General Improvements

• Enchantment Descriptions: All enchantments now use "Equipped creature" wording for naming consistency.

• Stone Skin & Haste: Fixed incorrect description text being displayed.

• AP Regen Status Bar Text: "Ap Recharge" has been renamed to "Ap Regen" for consistency in the status bar.

Visual Clarity & Input Polish

• Creature Mouseover Highlight: Hovering over creatures now uses a distinct selector color for improved visual feedback.

• Equip Target Selector (Controller/Keyboard): When equipping a creature, a selector now appears over the target for clearer targeting.

• Mouse & Keyboard Improvements:

  • The mouse no longer shows the equipment icon over invalid tiles or already-equipped creatures.

  • This also resolves an issue where the mouse would override keyboard input in mixed control use, resulting in smoother, more intuitive hybrid input behavior.

Tutorial Polish

• Creature Unsummon SFX: Added sound effects when creatures are unsummoned for better consistency in the tutorial.

Champion Unlock Fixes

• Unlock Bug Resolution: Champions affected by the earlier unlock bug (fixed in RC1.1) should now be unlocked correctly.
  (Note: Anyone playing RC1.1 or newer is not affected.)

• Unlock UI Update: Champion unlock conditions now display full descriptions instead of just achievement names. Progress trackers have also been added for those unlocked via in-game criteria.

Hey everyone,

We're excited to officially announce that the full release of the game is coming on July 17.

As we approach this milestone, we want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far.

This game began as a passion project between two developers who had an idea for a tactical experience that felt different. After countless iterations and experiments, we finally found the version that clicked. It may not be perfect, but we believe it offers something truly unique, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve built.

Internally, we refer to this genre as a "Scrawl-like". It features creatures that move automatically, with strategy emerging from resource management, positioning, and planning several moves ahead, similar to chess. The concept is loosely inspired by the Hero Line War custom maps from the old Warcraft modding scene, as well as Phantasy Star Online Episode 3: C.A.R.D. Revolution, which blended card mechanics with tactical board control. While this chapter is nearing its end, we are already thinking about how this idea could evolve in the future.

To everyone who tested the game, provided feedback, streamed it, or supported us during Early Access, thank you. Your input helped shape the game in meaningful ways.

At this point, we've implemented and refined most of the features we originally envisioned, along with many that came directly from community feedback. The game is in a place we're proud of, and we’re excited to share it with even more players.

That said, this is not the end. We will continue to support the game going forward, and we have one more update planned. It may even arrive before the official release on July 17. Beyond that, we also plan to support the game with bug fixes, balance tweaks, and general maintenance to ensure the experience stays smooth for all players.

Thank you again for all your support.
