lots of great feedback and bug reports from the initial demo launch! thanks to everyone in the discord server for the help.

changes / fixes:

• save data implemented !!!

• chests have been scrambled! the items have been moved around a bit

• acolyte promotes to a bishop, peons promote to queens.

• cells now cannot move backwards! trying this out for fun

• well has different unlocks - Mana orb, Egg, Platform spell now found in the well

• PROMOTE effect is more descriptive at a glance, hopefully reduces confusion

• blank tiles are now not culled if occupied (prevents pieces with LEVITATE being instantly deleted when moving off of a tile that has been destroyed)

• cell mitosis now copies original piece effects

• profile character animation can be paused

• fixed conveyor overlapping pieces bug

• pieces that can promote now promote when tiles change (whether through whirlwind, shear, destroyed etc.)

• AI can no longer check the player and then place pieces (double check glitch)

• the sign in the well well is more descriptive

• grammar in the inspector are more gooder

• thoth now gives the player tiles in addition to pieces

• cobwebs tile visual thing fixed

• floating pieces are no longer affected by conveyors

• transformations (egg → dragon) now update the compendium

known bugs:

• player signature, clothing customization, selected title, time played doesnt yet save (but cards, unlocks, decks and deck drawings do!)

• Clauble has <null> dialog on rematch

• Gwendolyn rematch dialog strangeness

• Spells in compendium are bugged

• melvin’s traps are still Kinda Lame

• cell mitosis double check bug

• max cards in collection still doesn’t update (only visual)

• potential game freeze in well (related to placing pieces on ink tiles we think, sorry!)

things we're gonna work on:

• a way to view the enemy cards/deck in some capacity (will they cast a spell on you?)

• overhaul spells in compendium (card art instead of little ghostly flames)

• end-of-battle analysis/END MATCH button/more robust visuals melvin’s battle overhaul (trapped tiles instead of trap pieces)

• fissure will only affect default tiles

• draw conditions are still odd and feel unrewarding, stalemates don’t allow the player to do anything but forfeit

• en passant…….
