- v1.18.1278 - Core Fixes & Cloud Saves - 2 August 2024
This patch comes with some balance and other fixes including a core Unreal Engine + SteamCore component upgrade + Steam Cloud Sync fixes!. The new SteamCore integration will allow for STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS + LEADER BOARDS (joy!). I will be adding some to the game ASAP! STEAM CLOUD SYNC IMPORTANT - DATA LOSS IMMINENT!: The update to Unreal Engine 4.26.2 and SteamCore sessions required the changing of the SaveGames folder location. This is also to allow Steam Cloud Sync to work properly. If your old game data is critical to keep it is a simple copy and paste of save files from one location to another. MOVING SAVED DATA: Copy all .sav files from: \Users\{your user}\AppData\Local\BudsLaboratory\Saved\SaveGames to \{YouSteamLibraryLocation}\steamapps\common\Bud Masters\WindowsNoEditor\BudsLaboratory\Saved\SaveGames My apologies for any hassles - though this new structure is required moving forw…
- v0.18.1246 - REMATCH + CUSTOM DECK FIXES - 28 June 2024
REMATCH? I've added an after game 'Rematch' system allowing another game with the same opponent, without having to return to the Main Menu. This system was added to work around the online multiplayer re-connection / restart client issues when 2 players would try to re-connect with each other over Steam. HOST CLIENT IMPORTANT NOTE: Card unlocks for gaining levels only occur when returning to the main menu. IMPORTANT NOTE: Changing decks / unlock cards while still connected is something I've been experimenting with - but for now, if you want to change decks and then play against the SAME opponent you will need to restart the client. Please do let me know feedback / any issues. With enough support, Bud Masters 2 just might be a thing! FIXED/IMPROVED THIS PATCH FIX - Save Decks - previously required pressing ENTER key, now after every key press the name data is updated. FIX - AI playing car…

- v0.18.717 - Killer Zen Rattie Fix - 4 April 2024
Finally sorted! - I found the crossed wire and fixed the Mutation = Killer Skull on the Attack Icon. Basically if a card was mutated it would get the killer icon under certain circumstances. Also fixed the Attack Icon showing the correct ABILITY - e.g. poison / stun of cards like 'Rattie' and 'Stunned 'Mullet' The HISTORY system is getting a ton of work over this weekend as well - which should not affect anything I've just fixed... yes... it should not... :P Expect daily frequent patching and updates on Steam Beta branch with full patch on Sunday morning EST :D

- v0.18.156 - New Look + Whole Lotta Card Fixes / Updates - 18 March 2024
I've been busy working on bug fixes and a FREE TO PLAY 'Peace Edition' for Bud Masters. It contains the One of Each mode and no deck builder. The 'Peace Edition' is PvP compatible with the Early Access 'Battle Edition'. The idea of the Peace Edition is to not only promote peace (of course), but to allow people to quickly jump into a game and start learning all the cards through playing. Once people are ready to 'start battling with custom decks' they can always upgrade to the current 'Battle Edition'. Why the New Look? Well the new 'Hippie Free Love' Peace Edition store page was not approved by the new business review team / AI systems at Steam... NOT APPROVED: Flagged as 'too sexual' + 'not PG-13 safe'... in the end it came down to the Weed Leaf... but there are other PG-13 Weed Leaf logos / games etc... so instead of getting too attached to endlessly changing the peace sign and weed l…
- Sound Systems + Battle History - 14 February 2024
Thanks for the feedback on the game! SOUND CONTROL I have added a simple sound system to control the master volume, music, card drop loops and sound effects. It's still new and not every sound in the game has been configured yet, but will have another patch soon! There are new SOUND buttons in the OPTIONS / PAUSE menu. PATCH NOTES Sound Controls / Save / Load added Deck Builder UI improvements - larger / label / filter / messaging Basic Battle History system added (I will be expanding on this system ASAP to include ability effects / more details) Removed Early Access Cheats IN THE WORKS Card Art - I'm experimenting more with the newer AI... it's very cool. If the game picks up and there is cashflow I will definitely hire an artist. I will add some game settings to select original dev art, AI generated 'art', or hopefully custom art! Multiplayer Testing - I noticed that with multiplayer…
