- Patch EA 0.2203a - 20 March 2022
Hi Sailors! Over the past few weeks we've been focused on fulfilling the top requests from the community, so let's start with one of the main additions. In-Game Tutorial We've added an in-game tutorial, which can be played both solo and multiplayer. The tutorial will explain the game mechanics as they are presented during the match. We're still adding more information to the tutorial, so don't forget to give feedback if you still have questions about any game mechanics! Balance Changes Queen Intent Visualization It is now possible, while hovering, to visualize which room each queen intends to attack. This addition allows players to have more strategic control on how they will deal with the Queens' attack. In the future it will be possible to disable this view during the match creation. Others Added explosion counter on Ticks. Added new types of challenge results. Added animation to chal…

New Content Element Z (Zzyx's Special Card) Action: Exchange 1 science for any other resource type. Sometimes you have to improvise.

- Patch EA 0.2201f - 28 January 2022
Removed minimum number of players to start a match. It is now possible to play games solo or with just a friend. This is not the intended way to play the game but this should let players try out the game when there are no other matches available. The Maximum number of betrayers is now configurable. You can play matches with less or even no betrayers. If you just want to cooperate to win or try to learn the game together, you now have that choice. New Intercept Challenge choice animation. It should now be clearer what option was randomly selected in case of time out. Bug Fixes: Fixed Luck bar pin positioning
- Patch EA 0.2201d (A.K.A Day One Patch) - 27 January 2022
New Content Change of Plan (Eve Special card) Vote (Setup Step): Dismiss the current vote check. Who said you need to follow the rules? Eve Special card allows her to completely dismiss any vote check during it’s Setup Step. This powerful Special card can be used to either escape from tough situations or even remove any chances of reaching good outcomes. Balance Changes Lucky Dice Nerf: Reduced pass increase from 25% to 20%. Reason: We re-balanced most of the luck values so that players don’t need to rely on Luck Dices plays. Intercept Challenge Nerf: Reduced pass chance from 75% to 60%. Reason: This card is intended to be considered a risky play. Previously players had 100% success when combined with a Luck Dice. This is a huge nerf and we will keep an eye on how this card will perform to see if we need to tune up it’s value again. Cancel Destination Nerf: Reduced pass chance from 75%…

- Devlog #01 - 2 June 2021
Hi Sailors, welcome to our first steam devlog. We previously called this “devlog” as “Monthly Roundup”, but due to our development schedule, sometimes we weren’t able to do a new post around the end of the month. Our goal is still to have at least one post per month, but that may vary depending on what’s happening on the development. Speaking of what happened before the Steam reveal, we spent the last couple of weeks making sure everything would, at least, meet the minimum expectations. These are some of the most important changes we did: Improved Shield Visuals The new shield now has a more rounded shape and its reflection changes based on the camera view making it possible to have a smaller visual “footprint”. New Animations - Two Faces Two Faces now also have the second set of animations (Scared, Winning, Losing). Improved Pilot Pins The pilot head and the pin are now animated instea…
