1.2.0 - New heroes, DLC bling, and more!

Pawnbarian

Pawnbarian is a quick-playing, turn-based puzzle roguelike. Play cards to move your hero like a chess piece, and conquer challenging dungeons full of cunning monsters!

Hello! Pawnbarian is almost exactly 6 months old today, and there's some fun stuff lined up for that. Most importantly, 1.2.0 is a major content update, bringing [b]three new heroes[/b] into the game. [list] [*] The [b]Nomad[/b] fights using her deadly aim with a bow instead of a melee weapon. [*] The [b]Capyzerker[/b] fuels his rage with pain, and enjoys improved healing to match. [*] The [b]Mystic[/b] relies on supernatural blessings to stay away from harm.[/list]Each has an unique ability and a whole new playstyle to explore and master. Their decks are based on international chess, but each brings a single fairy (non-standard) chess piece into the mix, which complements both the mechanics and the theme. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WgJKOHn.png[/img] Releasing alongside the free content patch is the [b]Support the Developers DLC[/b], which gives all your heroes a [b][strike]gaudy[/strike] snazzy gold coat of paint[/b]. This is purposefully a minor, purely cosmetic change. as I didn't want to nickel-and-dime you by splitting up content into DLC for what's ultimately still a small game. If you enjoy the work me and my two wonderful co-creators did - please consider blinging out your heroes! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1938870 Of course, you can disable the DLC if you want to throw some extra money our way, but don't like the new look. Both the game and the [b]Original Soundtrack[/b] are 30% off for the week. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1734720/Pawnbarian__Original_Soundtrack/ [h1]Patch notes[/h1] new: all-new Nomad hero new: all-new Capyzerker hero new: all-new Mystic hero new: chain 0, V and X achievements to match new: Support the Developers DLC release change: +1 loot track gold on all floors, as a gentle global buff for the player change: all characters now unlocked with a single Pawnbarian victory change: updated all achievement icons change/fix: minor text adjustments change/fix: minor sprite adjustments [h1]A note about localization[/h1] Pawnbarian relies on generous community translations, and the new content isn't fully localized in all the previously supported languages, using English placeholders where relevant. It's been translated into Polish, as well as Traditional & Simplified Chinese thanks to [b]AJiang[/b]. If you'd like to fill out the remaining content in one of the languages which are almost there, or help support a whole new language, check out the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1142080/discussions/0/3194740147288664564/]dedicated thread[/url]. Thanks! [h1]What's next?[/h1] Mobile version, full steam ahead! Follow me on [url=https://twitter.com/_j4nw]Twitter[/url] and join the [url=https://discord.com/invite/VSGztJVzFp]Discord[/url] to keep an eye out for updates, and likely some playtests along the way. I'm also inevitably going to get started on another project sometime soon. Hope you enjoy! Jan
