Badges
We have consulted with the community regarding badges both here on Steam forums and on Discord. Some of you might remember that it was a slightly different badge design that was picked back then. The one with all badges being variations on the logo with card badges coming in second.
Turns out, that the final badge on Steam has to be completely different visually from lesser badges. To get them approved we had to take the highest badge from the first design and card badges from the second one. I think it worked out nicely, best of both words. Now badges clearly show progression, the final one is the most impressive one, and, last but far from least, the progression is readable from shapes alone so it's more accessible.
Emotes
Hellcard emotes are also going live!
We went for a wide selection, focusing on emotes conveying core emotions in text discussions. Like the Kiełbasa.
Profile Backgrounds
And, of course, there is a wide variety of profile backgrounds! Here are two examples (thumbnails, click to enlarge). Also can double as wallpapers ːarchduckː
Tacticon
We are also participating in this year's edition of Tacticon! While this time I'm not participating in panels (last year I chatted with Across the Obelisk devs about making co-op deck-builders) I still encourage you to check out the event. The selection of tactical games is always top-notch, you might find something cool there.
Oh, and there is a sale so these games will probably be discounted too! As will be Hellcard for the duration of Tacticon!
Here is the sale's page: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/Tacticon2023
As always,
