In the future, we also aim to increase the overall visual quality as much as possible.

A Small Glimpse Into the Feature Updates![/h1] Thank you all again for jumping in and slinging spells with us at the beginning of our Early Access journey with RotM! Our team is working hard, day and night, to respond as quickly as possible to your feedback. Even though we’ve already planned a lot for RotM, your participation is what will make this game even better. Even for a Early Access launch many find really easy and fast to complete the current game content [i](not necessarily unlocking everything, but generally speaking)[/i]. Some players like this, but others don’t. So we’ve already started working on possible solutions to be able to balance the time and effort required to complete the game with the current content. This might raise a question for many of you: Are we going to reset the current progress? For now, no—that’s not part of the plan. [list] [*] It's hard to see some bosses within all the chaos of combat, so we planned to add an indicator for the boss, so players may more easily track them. This feature probably will have a QoL setting in the options, for those who don't want to use it. [*] When a player uses ALT+F4 or if the game crashes mid-run, players lose their hard-earned gold. We’re actively working on a solution to save your gold without breaking the high-risk, high-reward concept. [*] We’ll bring more cards and permanent upgrades that can be combined with the Archetypes! [*] Leaderboards, Steam Achievements, and Trading Cards are features we want to introduce as soon as possible. (And Cloud Save for Steam!) [*] Deck-building is one of our priority features, so you’ll be able to choose your favorite cards and leave out the ones you don’t like. [/list] You can find more details in our updated [url=https://trello.com/b/ajSZhCjZ/revenge-of-the-mage-roadmap][u][b]Roadmap[/b][/u][/url].
