- Bug Fix v0.7.2 - 25 October 2023
Card Craft Early Access Update v0.7.2 BUG FIXES Ghost potions used to appear after receiving a free potion from a quest and adding it to an empty slot. Tooltips for augments now appear in title menu in build (only worked in editor before). Fixed infinite gold sfx loop.
- Update v0.7.1 - 19 October 2023
Card Craft Early Access Update v0.7.1 NEW ACHIEVEMENTS Steam achievements for beating the game with various levels of curse. Achievement for beating the game with no perks. Achievement for beating the game with 5 different heroes. QUALITY OF LIFE Added tab to show all relics you've encountered. Added an animation for when a card attacks in place.

- Curses Update - 17 September 2023
We're happy to share the new Curse system for Card Craft. Added difficulty after beating a roguelike is the gold standard and we've had it on the road map for quite a while, but now it's finally here! Now, we're not huge fans of linear such "ascension" systems (i.e. a fixed order of modifiers that has no flexibility and must be beaten one at a time), so we opted for a more customizable system where you can pick and choose what curses you want to challenge yourself with (much like the "heat" system in Hades). You can even crank it all the way up right off the bat if you want. With this update Card Craft is getting close to being feature complete for a 1.0 launch. We expect launch to be after the holidays though, so as to give ourselves a bit of a break, have enough time for proper marketing efforts, and make sure the game is properly polished. Again as a reminder, we intend our 1.0 launc…
- Update v0.6.2 - 28 August 2023
Card Craft Early Access Update v0.6.2 ACHIEVEMENTS Card Craft has 27 Steam achievements now! More to come in future updates. BALANCE CHANGES Reduced the overall randomness in relics effects. Redesigned several Hero Powers to have no randomness. Most notably the two of the starter heroes had powers that randomly applied neutral/negative effects of positive effect to every number and this was not a satisfying player experience. After beating the first boss you get a relic immediately and get relics normally for the rest of the run. QUALITY OF LIFE Augment menu in the start screen where you can change or undo augments. The tutorial now waits for actions to finish before advancing. Tooltips for tile cards. Added graphic to wall tiles. Hero powers don’t cost you a charge if they wouldn’t do anything. Cards you can’t buy are grayed out. Automatically take players to the perk menu after their…
