• Adjusted the logic for how buffs are applied in combat.
  
  

Devlog#34 and 0.5.2 (Portus) for Magisters

Hello everyone! The preliminary testing week went smoothly!

• We've finished Audrey's animations and are now updating all dialogue scenes she's involved in.
• We're finalizing the comic-style art for Audrey's first relationship quests.
• Work on the new UI is in its final stages. If we manage to finish it in time, it will be included in the next update.
• We've found a new artist who, we hope, will help us speed up our content production.
• We've started testing voice acting and sound for some scenes. At this point, we can't say how long it will take to find the right SFX that we're truly happy with.
• We have also been in touch with a composer, hoping they can help us create unique musical themes for our characters.

Devlog #30

Hello everyone! It’s time to share the details of our current work. Despite illness and crunch time at work, we continue to push toward the release of a new update.

• Recently, we finished outlining the general scheme for the development of relationships between the main characters, and our artist has already started drawing the first scenes.
• The vampire-bard character for adventures is completed.
• The vampire-bard’s comic is finished.
• The NSFW scene of the vampire-bard is completed and animated.
• Added the ability to save in Journey.
• Added the ability to discard cards in battle, receiving 1 mana for it.
• Added the ability to draw a new card into your hand for 2 mana.
  
  

• The story quest of the vampire-bard.
• Several side quests.
• Hero leveling system: as players gain levels, they will unlock new cards for their deck and improve various character parameters, such as the number of cards in hand, maximum health, and mana amount.
• The ability to build your own deck.
• Elements for cards and a rework of item effects (they will provide bonuses to elements and fewer cards).
  
  

Devlog #29

Hello everyone! Development continues, and it's time to share some updates on what's happening.

• Saving implemented in Journey mode – yes, now you can save before facing that terrifying enemy, and if defeated, simply reload without facing harsh consequences. Our programmer lost half of his remaining hair rewriting parts of the code responsible for this mode, but he's now wiser for it (at least, we hope).
• Added the ability to discard any card from your hand to gain +1 mana. Now you can play more cards per turn by discarding ones that aren’t currently useful.
• Introduced the option to draw an additional card for the cost of 2 mana. This will help replenish your hand after discarding unwanted cards.

• Introduce purchasing new items using resources to eliminate the need for boss grinding.
• Expand item influence on gameplay by providing thematic bonuses.
• Review some game cards by giving them "elements," while items will receive "bonuses for specific element cards." Enemies will also gain vulnerabilities and resistances to various elements.
• Add new opponents to ensure each Journey map feels more thematic.
• After finalizing gameplay mechanics, find an expert to improve the UI/UX for Journey mode (yes, we know it could be better).
