- Text-related hotfix - 10 July 2024
A couple of errors in the texts made their way into version 28.11, we fixed them. Remote Controlled Popstar should have "1 narrative" in the ability text, not "2 narrative" (thanks, Aqwijn). Raptor Boys should mention "2/1 Baby Raptors" in the ability text, not "2/2 Baby Raptors" (thanks, Dunkoro). Fixed description of card packs and Comedy Back Cover in the Store (thanks, MageArmour).
- Version 28.11: rebalancing, optimizing, polishing - 8 July 2024
Hey everyone, thanks for your patience with our patch! In this update, we’ve introduced game balances, a revamped collection system, new voiceovers and performance optimizations. Game rebalance Base mechanics If the card is frozen, its frames on the reel are considered "broken" (i.e. won't count for BBQ Bill) Performance interruption always steals 1 story point. Leads BBQ Bill: +1 story arc, shattered action frames on reel are not counted for his ability, performance detection for his ability is now genre based. Insult Comic Frog: Gains 1 NP in the end of scene, and an extra NP for a successful performance. The Godfish: +1 story arc, Qaal: now have 2 attack and 6 HP, -1 story arc. Characters Sleight-of-hand Heister: Now returns to hand on successfull attack, dodge or performance. BIRD-E: Bounty is now 1, got Unstoppable, attacks on second frame out of 3. Sacrificial Goat: Triggered only…
- 28.10: leaderboard and new languages - 13 June 2024
Leaderboard We've added a global public ranking. If that's the only thing stopping you from showing off your new movie's screenplay to your friends, then your problem is solved. This ranking system will be the foundation for more refined features, such as a separate "Legendary" league, seasons, and more. Localization We've added Spanish and Polish localization for the main parts of the game: cards, tutorial, and menu. While it still needs some fine-tuning, we'd love to hear your feedback.
- Hotfix 28.9 - 30 May 2024
Fix for UI-related crash (thanks, R-O-B B!). Fix for missing translation of abilities in Portuguese translation. Added missing glyphs in Chinese translation.
- Hotfix 28.8 - 25 May 2024
Bugfixes Fixed a situation where localization led to blocking the ability to perform (thanks, Yudukiy). Fixed cases where the game could crash during the tutorial briefing. Fixed the position of the reel for screen aspect ratios other than 16:9 (thanks, sunspider). Fixed cases of incorrect system locale detection (thanks, gunbus and Feep). Fixed font artifacts in the Collection and on lead buttons (thanks, Azurah Star and MageArmour). Returned missing description of card packs in the Store (thanks again, sunspider).
- Version 28.7 Game Update - 23 May 2024
Hey. We collected some user feedback and fixed few pretty critical, even blocking problems. Display support We've implemented basic support for beyond 1080p and aspect ratios outside of 16:9. Although the interface placement during the tutorial previously blocked progress, these issues have been corrected. The visuals may vary with different displays, and we plan to enhance this in future updates. Tutorial Feedback revealed that the tutorial was not effective for everyone, which is crucial for a game where understanding the rules is important. We've added reminders and rebalanced the tutorial decks to improve clarity and flow. Further refinements are scheduled for the next patch. Localization We've laid the groundwork for adding multiple languages to the game. During this process, we encountered issues with font rendering, which may affect text quality for some, though it might not be n…
- The Art of ScreenPlay CCG: From Concept to Completion - 23 May 2024
The Art of ScreenPlay CCG: From Concept to Completion Ever wondered how we create the quirky, humorous characters in ScreenPlay? Consider this post a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process—yes, a movie within a movie. Get it? Alright, moving on. The Creative Process Our journey begins with the card mechanics. Before any illustration starts, we define these mechanics and use placeholder artwork to embody the core concept of each card. Take "Wake and Roll," for instance. The initial idea featured a bear comically propelled from bed into action, embodying the sudden call to adventure. Illustrating the Drama For "Wake and Roll," it was crucial that the artwork captured both the readiness for danger and the potential for failure. We envisioned an anthropomorphic bear from the world of Jaw-Z, mistakenly offending Queen Bee and facing a retaliatory swarm of bees. An alarm clock desig…
