Creature Card Idle (WIP)

Correction on last news post: your saves WILL carry over when version 1.0 is released.

I’m going to add an exporter.

What you’ll need to do is export your save from this version to a file, and then import it into the new version when it’s released. I’ll give more instructions when that time comes to make it clear. But rest assured, your progress will be able to carry over.

Pushed some new updates, featuring some small improvements:

- Balance changes. Card upgrades are less powerful than before, because people were still telling me they were too powerful to the point of making Tier 2 cards usually useless.

- Card descriptions show icons for resources, instead of saying the word “gold” or “wood”, etc.

- You can hold CTRL to place a card into multiple slots on the grid, assuming you have more than one quantity of that card.

- Cards that are Lv. 2 and higher show their level on the grid too now, not just in the collection.

The next expansion, “Underworld”, is still in progress and expected to be out in about a week. Sorry for the wait; this expansion is larger than either of the previous realms, so it’s taking a while longer. It will have a 5×5 grid and three tiers of cards.

Now that the game is getting fairly far along in development, I’m planning to release version 1.0 of the game when the Underworld expansion launches. This means the game will be on a separate upload, so that its name will be called “Creature Card Idle” instead of “Creature Card Idle (WIP)”. I don’t think there’s any way to fix that name without doing a brand new upload. This unfortunately means save data won’t carry over into version 1.0. But it shouldn’t take long to unlock realms 2 & 3 in any case.

Some balance changes and bug fixes tonight:

- Nerfed the Upgrade feature quite a bit. What I’ve been hearing from people in the Discord is that the upgrades were way too powerful, to the point that Tier 2 cards were always useless because upgraded Tier 1 cards outclassed them so much. Instead of the power going up exponentially, the power uses a multiplier now. For example, a Level 5 card is now exactly 5x as strong as its Level 1 self, instead of 2^(5-1) = 16x as strong.

Bug fixes:

- Petrify should work now

I’m starting this week on the next expansion. Should hopefully get that out within a week.

Also, if you didn’t see the news earlier, we have a Discord for the game now. Lots of balancing discussions are going on, and lots of idea brainstorming. If you want to join in, please check it out here: https://discord.gg/M3xxsB4

Pushed a new update with some fixes and improvements.

The biggest change is that buying massive amounts of packs no longer causes slowdown, because duplicates are now stacked, showing their quantity similarly to how they do in the collection.
