[h2]​Heya everyone![/h2] [b]Thank you so much for playing our game![/b] Since our first demo release, we've got content creators who found our game, reached over 1000 wishlists, and gathered over 1200 downloads in under a month! So today I'm super excited to announce that update [b]0.2: Mars Attacks![/b] is now released. Download the [url=https://starvaders.itch.io/starvaders]demo on itch.io over here[/url], and check out what's new! [h1]What's new since 0.1?[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43223353/77a90f8f28cb113c172b6939b9e3e844fd6c3450.png[/img] [h3]- ​​4 new invaders, 1 new special encounter! ​[/h3] [b]We've added the Vengoid, Spitter, Leviathan, and Voidspawn invaders![/b] These new invaders challenge your tactical senses and introduce new mechanics for you to learn and overcome. You'll find them across all 3 acts, adding to the exponential variety of battlefields you can encounter! [h3]- 5 new cards, 3 new artifacts, and 5 new components![/h3] We've introduced new cards that enable legendary ways to play with the Burn, Junk and Fire! archetypes. 0.2 adds a new utility card to the fan-favorite Bomb archetype! Find and plan for huge explosions with the new [b]Detonator[/b] card! ​Find the [b]Jester, Furnace[/b], and the legendary [b]​Big Fridge[/b] ​​artifacts that change the way you play with the game! The ​Big Fridge​​ sets ALL of your cards' Heat cost to 1 when you play them (Overclock says hi!). There's also 3 new basic components and 2 new secret components! One of the new basic components is the [b]Linked[/b] ​component, which, when played, also immediately plays ALL other ​Linked​ cards in your hand or draw pile for free. How many cards do you think you can you link to each other in your deck? [h3]- Improved tutorial, a Glossary, and a bunch of visual updates![/h3] The tutorial is now a lot friendlier, with a nerfed Mothership and better scripted card rewards - getting into the game is smoother than ever. (and we are still planning on reworking the whole tutorial soon!) The [b]Glossary[/b] lets players check out all the different cards and artifacts that they might have missed while playing! It's a theory crafter's dream.​ [h3]​- 70+ Bugfixes, balance updates, and QoL improvements! [/h3] ​We've fixed almost all the bugs that have been reported to us! (almost because there's a few very sneaky ones we're still working on >:( ) Thank you so much for your feedback and comments, it's being so useful! If you do have more feedback, [url=https://discord.gg/bEETNGyGVE]please join our Discord​​ and let us know![/url] [h1]What's next?[/h1] ​For our 0.3 update, we're gonna be working on meta-progression, a mech selection screen, as well as a new pilot for you to play with! The full game will have multiple classes of mechs with distinct card pools and mechanics. But each mech class will have multiple pilots as well! Pilots will share card pools, but have different starter cards and artifacts that change the way you play the game. As always, there will be new cards, artifacts, components, bugfixes, etc, too!
