Although Hellcard is playable on Steam Deck we are on a quest to get that Green Tick of Gaben's Approval. This week's update hopefully will get us there.
What's New
- Full Controler Support. The game is now fully playable with controllers along with properly rendered glyphs.
- Big UI Scheme. Increases fonts, icons, and cards. Enabled by default on Steam Deck but can be manually enabled in options on PC for those who like to sit back or just have tired eyes like me. You can also control the size of fonts/cards/GUI separately to tune it for to your taste.
- Several bug fixes. Including rare crashes, exploits, and small glitches. Thank you all for reporting this stuff!
- QoL including the ability to freeze the goats so they can't escape, better health visualization, colored mana cost on cards, and more.
- Recorded voice lines for all classes, now you can hear when someone says Hi!
What's Next
We are planning three larger updates during the remainder of Early Access.
The next update will focus on new content (we know you are waiting for that!). It won't be a new class yet, since this will happen early next year. However, there will be new artifacts and plenty of balance changes to preexisting cards.
After that, there will be Monsters Update. THat one will include several totally new enemies with new mechanics. These will be ready for yet another update later this year.
Finally, there will be a New Class update. All this should span over the next 6 months, give or take. And in the meantime, we are also working on plenty of backend changes including experiments with a new network backend.
