Thank you so much for your feedback! I completely agree with all your points.


I’m currently working on Chapter 4, which brings several upgrades addressing many of the issues you mentioned, including:

• A full AI rework: The AI now manages a 5-card hand just like the player. It can discard cards, hold some for later, and evaluates more factors to avoid those “stupid moves” you pointed out (like ignoring units).
• Greatly reduced RNG: Randomness has been significantly toned down. Only units that rely on RNG as a core mechanic will have it meaningfully affect gameplay. Crit, block, and dodge rates have been lowered, and crits now only add +1 damage (previously, high-damage units could go much higher).
• A full Codex: A new app allowing to view every stat and ability for every card and level — including cards you haven't yet obtained but have faced in battle.
• Item System: You’ll now be able to buy one-time-purchase items that stay in your deck permanently, with no need to repurchase them.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and play the game — your feedback really helps me improve it!

So..started game. Where is my Bandit card? I picked Bandit card from 1st encounter with Jason rewards and it is nowhere to be found, but Scout starts appearing in my deck. I guess it is a bug? Or i should not take on Jason in 1st opportunity, same evening?

Hello,


First of all, thank you for trying out the game!
I’m really sorry this happened. It should be a bug, but it’s the first time anyone has reported an issue with the card-selection screen... and that system appears multiple times later in the game. I tried without success to reproduce it on my side, even after reinstalling an older version and testing the sequence again.

If you still have a save from before the choice, could you try selecting the reward one more time? And if it happens again, feel free to share any extra details if any (you can even message me in private) — I’ll do my best to help track it down.
Thanks

Well. It is current version. 0.37, posted here. Downloaded from Buzzheavier, 1st link in op post. 06/12/, There is older save 3-5 right before Jason. And save 7-6 in next participation with Scout card, after choosing Bandit card as reward with Jason.

Also, your naming it 'CardGame' in /roaming/RenPy folder is not helping to find saves <_<

ed: Just now restarted whole game, from scratch, and trouble IS gone. So, i'm not sure what exactly i did in older save (attached here), but there it is persists pretty consistently.

Well, it is not far from start and i, kinda, solve it by restarting. And, i guess, i m only only one so far to note, so it is low rate probability to stumble across. You can ignore my complain and focus on more important things to do. Like next update.

Sorry for trouble.

Hey no trouble at all, I really appreciate you taking the time to not only report an issue but take the time to send me the save files too.
I’m glad to hear restarting resolved the issue, but I’ll still look into it to understand what may have caused it in the first place.

Thanks again for your time and for helping improve the game.
