Takara Cards
Full 1.0 release and Steam Achievements!
Takara Cards is finally out of Early Access, check out our launch trailer:
It's been almost two years of Early Access, with dozens of updates of various sizes, all heavily influenced by our Cadet players! The game has changed a lot during this time and we can only thank our players, and our Publisher: Grab the Games!
We're offering the game at a heavy discount to celebrate the launch and a new update that supports Steam achievements!
Minor improvements:
Czech localization;
Shortcut button for the manual in the Card Search store;
Corrections for German.
Balanced XP and Karma gain.
Minor interface improvements.
Minor bug fixes.
We are still in the process of revising the localizations and updates with language fixes are still to come, as well as balancing updates and minor improvements.
Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean available!
Hello Cadets!
We've just updated the game with the new localizations: Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean! In addition, we've fixed some minor bugs in some of the already-released localizations, and visual bugs in the Cabin interfaces!
Any return on the quality of the localizations is very welcome. :)
These should be the last localizations, we're almost there! Thanks to all the players! :D
Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean available in Open Beta!
Hello Cadets!
We've just updated the open beta with the new localizations: Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean! In addition, we've fixed some minor bugs in some of the localizations already released.
Any feedback on the localizations' quality is welcome. :)
These should be the last localizations, we're almost there! Thanks to all the players!
New languages and other improvements!
Hello Cadets! The first batch of new languages is here!
Takara Cards has been localized for the following languages: French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Thai and Turkish! The interface has also been adapted to accommodate the new localizations and has also received readability and visual improvements. Even to improve the readability of the texts on the Steam Deck!
And speaking of Steam Deck, we've updated the engine (Godot) to the newest version of the 3 series (3.6) and with that Steam Deck support has improved even more.
Minor improvements and bug fixes:
Some bugs related to Steam Deck controller support were fixed.
Added an icon showing the directions the ship MOVES in the card description.
Slight balancing of XP gains when destroying enemy units. It's now a little easier to evolve your character.
Some translations are still being done but will be added faster, as most of the adjustments needed to support them are already in place. I'm also working on Steam integration and translations.
The game is almost ready, thanks for all your support! :D
Minor bug fixes!
Hello Cadets!
This update moves the game to Godot 3.6, with minor improvements and fixes:
Fixes for some bugs related to support for Steam Deck controls.
Added an icon showing the directions the Ship moves in the description of the Cards.
Slight balancing of XP gain when destroying enemy units. It's now a little easier to level up.
Remember that to access this update, you need to participate in the open BETA by going to the game's properties on Steam.
This Beta is already more stable than the main branch of the game, but I decided to wait for the localizations to finish before making it final.
Thanks for all the support!
New songs for the Orks and French added! (open beta)
Another update to our Open Beta:
We've added the last songs needed for the game's release: the Orks' combat music!
In addition, French has been added to the supported languages.
Known bugs:
French and Italian have some bugs in the icons in some texts in the game, causing the icons not to appear. This will be fixed by the final release of the localization update.
Until the next update, Cadets!
New localizations in the Open Beta!
Hello Cadets!
Today we have the first of several updates with the game's new localizations: German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Thai and Turkish! The update is available in the game's Open Beta.
We've done some quick tests with them, and overall everything seems fine. But please understand that we have no knowledge or experience with these languages, so the help of native Cadets is appreciated!
Report any language bugs in our sub-forum dedicated to English BUGs (we won't understand if you post in another language).
Known BUGS:
- The Italian translation has bugs. Several of the game's "icons" have been strangely transformed into Chinese characters. This bug will be fixed before the final release of the localizations.
Thank you!
Small improvements and new Community Avatars!
Hello Cadets!
Today we have an update with only minor improvements. The game's localization process continues, but it's a game with a LOT of events and texts, which is why it's taking so long.
As a bonus, we've made more Community avatars available: You can now choose avatars from ALL races!
Small improvements:
Event answers now appear in random order.
Manual now shows total pages.
Minor interface improvements.
More ways to earn Elven Glamor added, including when you go to the bar. ;)
Slightly higher jump cost in Hard Mode (among other balances).
Minor bug fixes and adjustments.
New race: The glamorous Elves!
Hello Cadets!
We're delighted to present our latest major update: A new playable race, the Elves!
Born on the moons that circle a planet ruled by rich karma, the most stylish of the Federation's races has the powerful ability to use ANY card in the game. Including cards from OTHER races, except ship weapons! To use cards from other races, Elves spend "Glamour". Glamour can be earned in various combat situations, by making combos or even passing the turn.
They pilot the Ballista ship, with has a powerful frontal attack that hits multiple tiles! If the elf has over 6 glamour, this attack hits even enemies on outer tiles.
Elves are unlocked after completing the game once, on any difficulty.
12 new cards!
All these new cards come with UNIQUE mechanics. There are 6 new general maneuvers, 2 new Elf-exclusive maneuvers, and 4 new general Equipment.
Other improvements:
New Music for Cadets "missing in action" added.
Some cards and Events have been balanced.
Bug in the draconian ship's internal combat fixed (combat sometimes reset).
Bugs in the layout of the new interface fonts have been fixed.
Some minor bugs were fixed.
This is the last major update before the game's "1.0" update: The last two content updates will be Achievements and Localization for other languages, which are already underway. We won't stop making minor improvements, fixes, and balancing changes to the game, anyway. :)
Until then, Cadets!
Getting ready for future landings
Hello Cadets! This brief update adds support for multiple languages, preparing the game for future localizations.
*This image is just a test made with Google Translate to check the rendering of the fonts!
To achieve maximum compatibility, all the fonts used in the interface had to be updated, alongside with several adjustments to the UI. The main adjustment has been to the Cards, which have had their text area expanded:
In general, these adjustments improve the readability of the interface, but if you find any places where the new fonts look strange, post them on the forums! :)
Minor changes:
Added a progress bar in the race selector that shows how many Jumps are left to unlock some races.
