Welcome Back!

As promised, we're back with what might be one of the biggest updates we've ever released.

Continuing the Main Story

The journey continues right where we left off in our last update. It’s time to rescue the mentors from their elemental prisons, and to do so, you'll need to explore four brand-new realms beyond the portal. Each realm is home to unique inhabitants with their own special abilities, making every adventure a fresh challenge.

Keep in mind that in each realm, your deck will be limited to the element of that realm. Any other cards will be unusable. That means you'll have to study your enemies, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and build your decks accordingly.

More Decks, More Strategy

To make things easier, we've expanded the number of decks you can store from three to five. This way, you won’t have to constantly rebuild your decks when switching between realms. Trust us—you’ll be doing a lot of switching!

Card Rarity System and Legendary Cards

We’ve introduced a new border system for card rarity: common, rare, and legendary. Rare and legendary cards, being unique, can no longer be sold to ensure you never lose them. And yes, legendary cards are finally here! These will only be obtainable by overcoming incredibly difficult challenges, so aside from the one tied to the main story, we recommend saving your legendary card hunt for the end of this update.

Introducing the Journal

A major quality-of-life addition is the journal system. This will help you keep track of the story and your next objectives. That said, we still strongly encourage reading the dialogues carefully—important clues are hidden in the text, and even with the journal, progressing without paying attention will be tough.

Companion System Expansion

In the previous update, we introduced the basics of the companion system during dungeons. Now, once you reach a certain point in the story, this system will fully unlock for any characters with whom you’ve built a strong affinity. You’ll even be able to customize their outfits and display them in the main club screen, which will become increasingly customizable over time. Each companion has a unique ability, so be sure to experiment and find the best one for each situation!

February Event: A Celebration of Love

For this update, we’re bringing a special February event themed around the season of love! Expect an exciting rhythm-based challenge and a brand-new temporary character to enjoy. We hope you have as much fun with it as we did creating it!

New Content & More

As always, this update comes packed with new cards, CGs, and plenty of action. We’ve put a lot of effort into making this happen, and we truly hope you enjoy it!

Now, for Some Not-So-Great News

It’s nothing too bad, but it’s something we wanted to address.

We use a paid library to manage characters and dialogues in the game. Until now, a one-time purchase covered support and bug fixes. However, the developers have changed their pricing model to a $150 annual subscription for continued updates.

While the initial purchase was expensive, it was manageable as a one-time payment. But this new subscription model isn’t sustainable for me, especially considering that my games are completely free. That means we won’t be able to update the library anymore. Hopefully, this won’t cause any issues, but if problems arise, we’ll have to figure out a workaround. Most likely, this will be the last game where I use this library.

It’s not the best news, but it’s not the end of the world either. The game will continue to be developed and remain free. If you have any thoughts about this, feel free to share them on our Discord!

A Special Thanks

Before wrapping up, we want to give a huge shoutout to Redbert for all his amazing work in testing. Not only has he helped catch errors and refine text, but he’s also contributed fantastic ideas and has been an incredible support. Thank you so much!

What’s Next?

That’s all for now! The next major update will take a while, so take your time with this one.

I can’t promise anything, but maybe in March, we’ll have a small Saint Patrick’s Day event. Meanwhile, we’re working on the penultimate chapter of the main story.

Rememer to join our Discord!

With that, I’ll sign off.
