EN/ Weekly News #125

A new month begins so let's start with our tradition, our thank you for your support. Summer has started and it's not an easy time, it's when we lose the most patrons and it's sometimes quite hard morally, so a huge THANK YOU for continuing this adventure with us.

This week has been pretty similar to the last one: illustration and deck.

Sunny is still working on the final scene and should finish next week and then move on to the illustrations for the bonus scene with Katja.

As for the deck, it is finally operational. There is still some graphic work to do on it when Sunny becomes available, but the deck is working! So here is the first preview of the deck system, which will be accessible via the shortcut bar (next to the ability tree and not via the phone, for more smoothness):

So, there are still some things to do, but all the features are there, you will be able to:

• Sort skills by damage, cost, or level.
• Filter skills according to their type of damage or effect.
• Create up to 3 different decks (more slots will be available to unlock in-game later).
• Name your decks and give them an icon to differentiate them.
• Get information quickly about your deck (number of skills, distribution of attack types, of cost).
• Know the active combinations and their bonus.
• Copy/paste the seed of your deck to share it in the same way as for the ability tree.

We have made the interface "slimmer" by reworking the size of the texts and buttons to be more subtle. You can see this in the Stats window on the right, which has been reworked in this way and is now clearer.

This new interface rendering can't be applied to the whole game at the moment because it would take a lot of time. Working on the deck menu has allowed us to discover a lot of ways to optimize the interface to make the game smoother and we prefer to integrate the new interface as we go along while taking the opportunity to rework the menus that need a more thorough redesign (like the contact information menu).

This week also saw the release of the interview we gave to SpicyGaming who voted us game of the month and where we talk about Sunrise City, its creation, and our vision. Check it out and tell us what you think, and if you have any other questions, come and ask them on Discord 😊
