Online Play for Yomi 2

This update is for our gold patrons who are supporting the digital version of Yomi 2. We've added our first pass of online play to the game! Here is a list of other changes to the build:

Online Play

A first pass of online play is now available. You must get in the queue and be matched with other people in the queue (no direct matches are available yet). You can “quick queue” like in Fantasy Strike where you toggle matchmaking on/off and automatically will use your last played character / gem. Online matches allow rematching until a best-of-3 has been played. The loser of each game has the option of switching gems.

Music and Sound

The game now has first pass music and sound effects (including menus and gameplay). These music and sound volumes can be adjusted in the options screen.

New Artwork

Jaina’s Red Dragon super now has a real animation.

Geiger's deck now has real illustrations for all his normal moves (new normal attacks and new low block).

Midori is now animated on the character select screen (but he’s still not playable yet).

MISC

Lifebars now drain towards the center, and are flipped vertically so that you can more easily see life missing when just a sliver is missing.

Added “Quit Game” to main menu.

The following elements were too low res and are now updated for 4K screens: icons for low block, high block, and full block that appear above combat cards when they were revealed. Icon for successful block that appears on top of (overlapping) the block card. Main phase icons, including the yellow highlight around them. Also, the background gold panel on the patch notes screen.

The burst icon is now smaller during the combo-playback step so that it matches the size of other icons on that screen.

All characters' stat/strategy cards have been updated to the latest version (they were months out of date in the last build).

Please consider joining this patreon to support this development effort. We really need it, and all proceeds go to artists and programmers on my projects. Our patrons are waiting to hang out with you in Discord chat, so maybe we'll see you there!
