Developer update

Hello everyone! It's been an intense few weeks for us. The work is progressing on the game and there are cool events coming up. Both these things are connected but let me start with:

What are we working on right now?

We are overhauling the GUI to make it more readable. This means both the player's icons and the lower bar and GUI over the monsters. Ideally, we will also fit a way to peek at other players' cards during battles.

At the same time, we are internally testing the single player mode prototype. It's fun, but the true test will come once you get to play it! We are biased ːarchduckː

The events

If all goes well we will be participating in a series of events in the upcoming months.

Because of the pandemic, a lot of events and festivals are moving to digital form. Some of these events will be accompanied by events here on Steam and ** the Hellcard pre-alpha demo will be made publicly available again** for the duration.

Which will create an opportunity to test new features with you! While we would like to be present in as many events as possible, we don't want to stress the production plan and risk large delays. That's why we will be using the pre-alpha prototype demo as a base and test the features in it, then move the features to the final build after changing them in accordance with the feedback from the community.

We can't guarantee that there will be new features for every event: there is a lot of events and things are a tad chaotic, we are still not sure in which we will participate so making a precise production plan is impossible.

The first event we have confirmed is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p55uCmjxmWI

We will be building a virtual booth and everything. And the event itself is going to be an actual MMO game where you wander and visit booths with other visitors. Looks super cool if you ask me. [
