- Smash Up - Beta Version now available - 3 December 2019
Hey Smash-Up-Ers! We've just put the new beta build of Smash Up live on the beta channel. Going forward it will use your Steam ID for online play and won't request that you sign in to anything. Right now we're trying to just get as much information as we can about what is working and what isn't. So the more you play, the better! If anyone can coordinate online multiplayer games that would be awesome, but simply hammering the game will be of massive use to us here. How to access the beta: To access the beta build please do the following; Go to Steam Go to Library Right click on Smash Up Go to Properties Go to Betas Type in the code smashupbetatest Click on Check Code (don't hit enter as for some mystical reason that closes the properties window) How to tell us what is broke: We have an official Discord for all of our games, and you can talk about Smash Up Digital there too! You can use i…

- Smash Up Patch - 17/07/18 - 18 July 2018
Hey all, Apologies that this has taken aaaages to come out and also that it's fairly small. We've had a vital crash that Android users have been seeing for some time so it was necessary to patch. This update contains that fix as well as some minor improvements to online lobbies so seeing games on other platforms should be easier to find. Along with the above we will be entering beta for the first DLC pack in a few weeks time - there will be more news to come on that shortly. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F26372127%2F5e486a109391087fec9f5cce8d101b451190067c.jpg

- Patch Notes #7 - Local Multiplayer - 16 December 2016
A fairly small update with some fairly important things in it. Pass and play is now a game feature. Choose which factions the AI uses in local play. Visual improvements so card art isn’t obscured. Instructional text colour is now white to help clarity of available information. Seats shown in game are the only ones in use. Voice chat should now work! Current player chooses which base scores first. (use to work, then bugged, now fixed) Updates to scoring order timing. This is likely to be the last update before the new year as long as nothing major goes wrong. Thank you to everyone that has stopped by during our Early Acess period so far. For all the negative and positive comments the game has improved dramatically and we intend to keep improving the quality to make it as good as it can possibly be for general release. Have a merry Christmas and a solid new year from all of us here at Nom…

- Patch Notes #5 - 24.11.16 - 24 November 2016
On top of bug fixes and some feature adjustments this update contains the final Starter Pack factions, Tricksters and Wizards, as well as the beginnings of our multiplayer lobby. Online play now allows you to create public and private lobbies, join public and private lobbies and also invite people to either of them. This is the first stages of where we intend to go with the lobbies so you may find issues in trying to use it. We’re confident that if you want to find a random game or have a game with your friends then you should be able to do that with relative ease but if you try to break lobby system, chances are you’re gonna break the lobby system. With the core functionality built for all of the starting factions this should allow us more time to clean up the bugs, polish the features and dedicate some time to creating a stable online player experience. Thank you to everyone who has c…

- Patch Notes #4 – 09.11.16 - 10 November 2016
Where to start? Normally I’ll list the fixes for what was broken but we’ve had a huge overhaul for a lot of the core logic that is used in the game. These areas were primarily Targeting, Controlling and Affecting – i.e. the majority of everything that is done in the game. For every single thing that could go wrong with a card, we were fixing them all one by one. We’ve now built a foundation for the variety of ways you can target and control and select so if a Trickster has similar functionality to a Star Roamer then they’ll both work in the same way or go wrong in the same way and subsequently will only take 1 fix as opposed to two. The above has also allowed for the streamlining of certain abilities – cards that need to be selected, confirmed to be used, a target to then be selected and then another confirmation just to be certain should see a few of those steps removed in a way that i…
