- Patch 1.0.5 - 19th November 2024 - 19 November 2024
Hey everyone, I just have a few bug fixes for this week: Bug fixes Fixed a bug with Mercenaries that would sometimes cause them to not attack enemies if they were going to be unpaid on the next turn In the first campaign tutorial, it was possible to navigate to the resource icons using a controller before they were visible - this has now been disabled until those icons are all present Fixed the bug where the word “Redraw” would appear even if the redraw button is not visible Thanks for keeping playing!
- Patch 1.0.4 - 12th November 2024 - 12 November 2024
Thanks again to everyone who reported bugs on the Steam forums :) Here's the updates for this week: Balance changes In the 2nd Acan campaign mission, “Paid in Blood”, reduced the amount of food and gold that is needed to be gained from playing rituals to 20 In the same campaign mission, increased the likelihood of finding the gold ritual card in the Harvest Shop Increased the starting food for the above level too Bug fixes If multiple Research Libraries generate a Discovery card on the same turn, they now increase the research cost by the correct number of steps - once per Discovery card generated - instead of once in total When placing a Gladiator School next to an Amphitheatre and adding and removing workers via clicking on the buildings, the gold lost of gained per turn was not immediately updated to reflect the correct amount - this has been fixed Fixed the bug in the campaign missi…
- Patch Notes 1.0.3 - 5th November 2024 - 5 November 2024
Bug fixes Fixed cloud save issue for Campaign progression and card unlocks Fixed soft-lock in Cernunnos mission “A Call to Arms” where a Brute can die, leaving you unable to recall it and complete that part of the tutorial until purchasing another (they now heal for the purposes of this tutorial) Fixed issue in the Plutus Mission “Neither Love Nor Money” where Mercenaries would not turn against you as they are supposed to Fixed bug where playing Three Sisters could lead the game to freeze Updated German localisation, changing "Spiel beenden" to "Spiel aufgeben" for clarity Thank you to everyone who reported bugs in the Steam forums :)

- From Tetris Islands to Rabbits and Cards: The Journey to 1.0 - 29 October 2024
It all started one rainy day back in August 2021 (it might not have been raining, but this is England so the chances are pretty high). I’d been prototyping what feels like 1000 different ideas but none of them felt particularly inspiring until I started making a kind of Tetris island thing: There wasn’t much to it, just a fun toy to fiddle around with until I started adding rabbits into the mix! Oh, and cards too 🙂 And so it really just kind of spiraled from there until here we are, 3 years later, 1 day away from 1.0. 1.0 is a scary thing. Even after the 100s of bugs I’ve fixed over the past year, there’s always that underlying worry that something’s slipped through the net. The problem with bugs when you have a game with this many systems and modes is that, when you fix one thing, there’s always the chance that it breaks something else. Aside from the bugs, there’s been some pretty bi…
