Changelog for 8/7/2016

Yooo. I just finished wrapping up this week's update! The past two weeks I've spent a lot of time fixing server issues and improving overal infastructure, so I hope everyone notices a speed increase and general stability improvements!

  • Some misc bug fixes
  • Added Capture skill, which is able to steal any opponent's card on the field for a high Soul price
  • Added Seduxia, The Manipulator with placeholder art, which has the Capture skil
  • Fixed the chat box constantly closing bug (sorry about that, it was a bug that happened with updating Unity versions)
  • Lots of server fixes/improvements


I'm currently working with serverbro on a few more improvements to the server, including the ability to securely get gold/exp when dueling with bots! More to come on this in the near future.

Changelog for 7/24/2016

Hey guys! Admittedly, was distracted most of the week by the life destroyer known as Screeps. If you're a programmer and haven't checked that out yet, you really should! However, I did manage to squeeze in some hours this weekend to get out some important fixes and even a new card.



Here are the changes to Forgotten Lore over the last week or so:

  • Added in the new artwork and shiny version of Astyc, the Mad Witch (see above)
  • Fix for sturdy not working
  • Fix for fire fissure sometimes not taking your HP
  • Fix for screech being applied even when the caster doesnt have enough souls (this also fixes a possible desync)
  • Fix for the ancient not being able to be sacrificed due to bug with screech


Thanks for staying up to date with Forgotten Lore!

Changelog for 7/17/2016

Update day!


  • Another huge refactor of the skills and card systems! This fixes some bugs and probably introduces more! Growing pains, but has to be done. Better now than later. Let us know if you find anything!
  • Added "types" of skills, so they can later be catagorized and viewed independently of the cards they belong to.
  • Fixes for waiting times on certain skills before the next skill begins.
  • Another huge rewrite of the enemy AI system. They now make meaningful decisions, like using fissure when they're out of options, or using certain spells like antidote or healing when necessary or helpful to do so. No more filling the field and then throwing a fissure on top of it all afterwards. The enemy AI still has a lot of work to be done but is progressing well!
  • Fix for madness card sometimes freezing on the board (animation loop)
  • Fix for fissure sometimes triggering in your hand in weird situations.
  • fixes and improvements to the rewards screen after a duel with an online player
  • added Silencer skill; added the Assassin card to use it. Silencer will disable all cards on the enemy field for one full turn. However, they can be awakened individually.
  • some tweaks to the card template.

Changelog for 7/4/2016

Hey guys, another update!

Changes

  • Fixed a ui shader bug for directx9 mode
  • Fix for vault crash for players who had some cards that are no longer in the game
  • Cards now que up to attack instead of attacking all at once (fixes some strange timing bugs)
  • Fix for some cards not highlighting when they are in fact usable
  • Refactored the entire skills system. This won't really be visible to end users but fixes some bugs and probably introduces some more

Changelog for 6/26/2016

Two weeks worth of update content! It's a little light, since I spent most of last week at E3 and this week decompressing (exhausting stuff!) but this week's patch is ready to go! Here is the changelog:

New Stuff



  • S H I N Y cards! These are super rare drops. There is a 1 / 10,000 chance for any card you get to turn into a shiny. It's still a WIP system, but it's in now!
  • I gave everyone who has previously logged into Forgotten Lore a free shiny card! The shiny card you got was random, based on your steamid.
  • Added Madness graphical effect, instead of using the frostfire graphic
  • Big speed improvements for the Vault
  • Some tweens on Vault cards
  • Added artwork for Thili, the Pyromancer.
  • Vault now has a few "Collected" text areas, so you can see how far along you are from having one of each card collected and can keep up with cards as they are added to the game!
  • Vault is now properly sorted by card type, so its not so random each time you check it.

Changed Stuff



  • Updated rarity of Mad Witch (more rare)
  • Updated starter pack to include Mad Witch
  • Madness now shows damage done
  • Updated madness description
  • Fix for a weird itemdefid bug
  • Deck editor bug fixes
  • Fix for a bug caused by buying a card pack, restarting the game, and then trying to open that pack.
  • The vault now only shows card you have
  • Fix for some scrollbars being offset
  • Friends list is now a bit less saturated, to look more like the Steam friends list.
  • Some misc bug fixes around the project


Thili's new artwork




Shiny Thili
