Welcome back Commanders, A new patch is now available for both the demo and full versions of [i][b]The Dragoness: Command of the Flame. [/b][/i] This patch features gameplay and balancing tweaks, new key bindings, updated controller support, and entirely new QoL features including a [b]Game Speed Setting[/b] added directly to the HUD and [b]Auto-battle Mode[/b]. These new changes should make gameplay flow during exploration and combat much smoother and more intuitive. [h3]New Features:[/h3] [b]HUD Game Speed Setting[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38755929/63d9b585a6716f0aa6ff171a6f90f83ff4bd198b.png[/img] The game speed can now be changed at any point during your adventure via the new toggle found in the HUD. This will be particularly handy for when you want to move across the map fast or defeat your enemies swiftly!

This toggle can be changed at any moment during combat and causes the player’s army to take their actions independently without the need for interaction. Alternatively, players can turn off this feature at any point during the same combat encounter to retake control of the battle.

The Shai-Va will now have 100% dodge chance and a visible FX around its body representing that it is protected. [b]Gates of Noita[/b] The level proved to be much more challenging than intended. As a result, there have been changes made to provide more relief to players at certain stages. More movement wells have been added to refresh the player’s movement steps for the turn. There have also been changes made to the number of battles present as well as their strength. [b]Tournament Site[/b] It will now be possible to complete all the challenges during a single playthrough. The number of Red Crystals on the map has also been increased to make the completion of the side quests easier to complete simultaneously.
