- Nova Blitz announces Nova Tokens - 13 November 2017
One of our Kickstarter pledges was "a full trading card economy". We haven't forgotten that pledge; on the contrary, we believe it's one of the biggest things that's missing from the current batch of digital card games. We've been working to figure out how to deliver that economy for a while. The answer is to build it on the blockchain. So we're upgrading Nova Blitz from a collectible game to a full trading card game, using Nova Tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. You'l be able to buy Tokens in-game on Steam, and use them to buy and trade cards. You can also use them to enter tournaments & win prizes. Most importantly, you can earn copies of new cards just by owning Nova Tokens (through a mechanism called Proof of Stake). The more Nova Tokens you own, the more copies of each new card you'll receive. For free. On the same day the card's released! You own these cards 100%. You can sell the…

- Patch 1.42.5 is now live - 16 October 2017
This is a giant update (download size wise), but will ensure smaller update sizes in the future. We've rebuilt our asset bundling and storage to ensure future updates will "just work" across Steam and mobile platforms (our previous system was pushing the limits of what could be handled with a cross-platform game). In addition, all currently reported bugs have been fixed, so there are no known outstanding bugs. If you encounter a bug, please report it using the in-game bug reporting tool.

- Balance Changes - July 27 - 27 July 2017
We've pushed a round of balance changes to the servers, mainly to address balance issues in draft. This is mostly buffs, with a few key nerfs. Overall, Chaos was very weak, Tech was weaker than desired, and Arcane control and Nature Regenerate strategies were too strong. Nerfs: Biogenesis: Now costs 3. Diquanomus: Now gives the -5 penalty on summon and last breath, until end of turn. Ghost Ship: Now a 5/7, down from 5/10. Grasping Horror: Now costs 7. Rock Guardian: Loses Regenerate, becomes 4/9. Tech Buffs: Aegis Elite: Now a 5/5. Armored Blockade: Becomes 5/5. Assassinate: Now kills units that cost 6 or less. Black Ops Team: Becomes 7/7. Elite Hacker: Becomes 5/5. Field Medic: Now fully heals your most damaged unit. Hive Sniper: Becomes 6/6 First Strike. Kestrel Ninja: Now a 4/4. Militia Guard: Now gets +4 strength when blocking. Octoborg: Now has Armor 3. Resupply: Now draws you a un…

- New patch tomorrow - 26 July 2017
We'll be releasing a balance patch tomorrow (assuming all goes well with final tests on it). There will be more buffs than nerfs. And yes, Diquanomus will be adjusted. We'll share a full set of change notes tomorrow.

- Nova Blitz is LIVE on Steam! - 11 July 2017
We're live! (and now the real work starts...) Thanks for all your support during Early Access. We're looking forward to taking Nova Blitz even further in the coming months and years! You'll see a lot more people in game now, so jump in and duel/challenge/draft your friends and everyone else. And the servers are holding up nicely so far, so no worries there. We'll be pushing bug fixes more often over the next couple of weeks, so if you run into something, let us know! We also implemented some automatic bug reporting, which lets us know about more bugs, even ones you might not notice in game... and also helps us fix more bugs! In that vein, here's today's bug fixes: Fixed a game start view bug Fixed a bug where the "done" button wouldn't come up if you won more than 5 prizes at once Fixed a prize view bug where prizes weren't showing Fixed a bug that stopped the bug reporter from coming u…

- Patch 1.39.0 is now live! - 30 June 2017
As we prep for full Steam Release (July 11th - less than 2 weeks away!), we're cleaning up old bugs. Feature Improvements: Better logging for tracking down in-game bugs Higher resolution card artwork New players will face easier versions of the AI decks. The decks will get harder to beat as players progress New "opening sequence" on account creation Bug Fixes: Fixed a really stupid combat timer bug that gave players way less time than expected. Re-logging in after disconnecting during a game no longer hangs the client. Music loads correctly after re-logging in "Undo" on crafting now works correctly, even if you don't have enough NanoBots to craft the item. Fixed a tutorial hang/timeout bug
