Added new Neutral Cards :"Early Bird"(White/Green),"Last Stand Formation"(Blue/Black),"Fantastical Storm"(Red/Green).



Fixes & Adjustments



True Full Moon & Event Horizon's instant loss effects are now Debuffs instead of Special, and can now be countered by sources of Amulet (e.g.Hakurei Amulet)

Patchouli, Elemental Alchemist's 1st Active Skill Power gain reduced:5/6→3/5。
Life Game cost reduced:1UG→UG,now Exiles adjacent Status/Misfortune cards.

Fixed an issue where Peaked Cap's increased draw step draw persisted after being removed mid-combat.
Pyramid-Shaped Puzzle's count now only decrements when a card is successfully drawn, not when the draw effect fails to resolve due to a full hand or an empty draw pile.
Adjusted Sardinia Mooncake's upgrade timing (made it similar to Lunar Rabbit Incense's),so Throwing Knives from You Are Next! are now valid targets.
Cards previewed from Shiny Bulb are now affected by auto-upgrade exhibits such as Bicycle (the auto-upgrade still applied as normal previously)

Fixed performance issues related to the UI.
Attempted to optimize intesiveness for effects on Yukari's Room (Gaps)



This doesn't include the enemy reworks mentioned in v1.4.0's patch notes, these will come in a later update.

v1.4.1 Beta 无色更新

1月8日 v1.4.1 Beta 无色更新



综合



哆来咪的角色动画已经完成。
蕾米莉亚增新增了「绯色命运」相关的特效演出。



新内容



新增无色光耀展品「月之古酒」。
新增无色中立卡牌「静寂之海」、「分解之风」。
未来还会新增一系列无色卡牌。

新增灵梦异色卡牌「接受指教」。
新增咲夜异色同伴牌「玩忽职守红美铃」。
新增中立卡牌:白绿「按时起床」、蓝黑「背水阵」、红绿「幻想风靡」。



调整和修复



「真实的满月」和「黑洞视界」对玩家角色施加的状态,从特殊改为负面,这意味着「博丽护符」这一类效果可以抵挡它们。

「炼金术士帕秋莉」主动技能获得的P点5/6→3/5。
「生命游戏」费用1UG→UG,现在目标牌是厄运或状态牌时,还会将其放逐。

修复了在战斗中失去「鸭舌帽」后,抽牌张数依然+1的问题。
现在「金字塔形状的积木」的计数在实际成功抽牌后才会进行,这会在一些情况下对玩家更有利也更合理。举例来说,玩家不再会由于手牌已满或者抽牌堆为空时,试图抽牌而降低计数了。
展品「撒丁岛月饼」的生效优先级略往后调整(与「仙香玉兔」相同),使得它能够对「下一个就轮到你了!」获得的飞刀生效。
「闪亮的灯泡」的选择界面内,如果卡牌被「自行车」类展品升级,会显示升级的版本(实际效果没有改变,先前会在实际获得时升级)。

修复了一些UI和演出的问题。
尝试优化了八云紫房间的性能消耗。



此次更新不包含v1.4.0提到的敌人游戏性更新,会在下次更新时加入。

All-Points Bulletin changed from Attack to Skill.
Manipulation of Fate will no longer target Unplayable cards (such cards do have a mana cost, though not normally visible).

1. Fixed an issue where it would incorrectly accept 8 mana as the maximum cost: now properly capped at 7 mana.
2. Fixed interaction with High Fidelity Headphones: previously, it would reduce the maximum cost (to prevent unwanted triggers of the "return cards from Exile" effect)

v1.3.18 Extra Turn Update

11/7 v1.3.18 Extra Turn Update



General




New event added:"Kosuzu Motoori: Rental Bookstore Suzunaan"。
Added 4 new exhibits related to the event.


New card art: "Bewitched Silver Knife"

Great Tengu's Decree damage increased by 1
Frantic Falling Leaves Graze increased:1→2,Temporary Firepower decreased:2/3→1/2。
Gensokyo, Past and Present is now Uncommon.

Adjusted in-game texts.
Adjusted achievement unlock requirements


Extra Turn Card Rework




New Three-Colored Neutral Card:"Century's Doppelgangers"

This card "inserts" an immediate extra turn when played.
Yutopia designed this card well, but it caused problems with extra turn cards with other effects.

Such cards' extra turns were meant to have drawbacks like being unable to deal damage, draw cards etc.
It's now possible to have such multiple such extra turns at once, and they will resolve the order they were played, starting from the first.
These effects don't merge, and multiple instances of the same effect will occur independently

The following 5 cards are affected:
"Broken Timeline"
"Clock Corpse"
"You Are Next!"
"Eternal and Instantaneous"
"Luna Clock"

v1.3.17 Spell Card Update

10/27 v1.3.17 Spell Card Update



General



New Card Art: "Navigation Star" , "Dazzling Dash"



Improved the mechanism for cards that change cost under certain condition, this allows for Fleeting Fantasy's effect to affect Attack cards with this kind of effect.

Shikigami Protection cost reduced: 1WU→1WU/WU, choose 3/5→4/5 random uncommon cards.


Difficulty Adjustments



Removed Request: Old Battery
Returned Request "Bitter Medicine" to two separate Requests: "Bitter Medicine" and "Last Stand"
Adjusted the order of Requests.


Character Spell Card Adjustment



Sakuya's Spell card, Illusion World "The World" no longer ends the Player's turn immediately and can be used multiple times in a single turn.
Its Power cost is increased to 120 (By default the maximum power is 240)

This adjustment is for ensuring its synergy with "Zener Cards" and "Sutra of Dharmatic Power".

Before Public Release, all effects that apply Extra Turn does not end the current turn.
We thought the effects would be too powerful, so we changed all of those effects to end the current turn. Now, the Spell Card is reverted back to its original effect, but has an increased cost at the same time.

Following this change, the Spell Card Tooltip now has detailed descriptions for the Spell Card's Power Cost, maximum amount of Spell Card charges and use limitations in a turn, the Spell Cards' Power Cost are also shown while selecting a character.


"A Nice Person" Achievement Unlock Bug



Fixed the Achievement Unlock Bug for "Mystia: Late Night Barbecue".
Cause of Bug: When given the option to heal or gain Power, if the food that gives Power is chosen, it will not contribute to unlocking the achievement even if money is paid normally.

What's worthy of mentioning is that this achievement's accumulation does not have a required condition (always has been).
Using seeds, Jade Box or playing in Easy Difficulty will do just fine, it will even count if a little trolling is done by restarting and paying 5 times.
There have been speculations from players that has yet to unlock this achievement, in reality it's caused by picking the food that gives Life, sorry for omission during testing.

v1.3.16 Minor Update

10/18 v1.3.16 Minor Update



Added a new event:"Toyosatomimi no Miko: Make Spell Cards Great Again".

The Spell Card button and its effects have been redesigned to go along the event.

Fixed issues with some achievements' unlock conditions.

Updated card art.
Updated the text on some cards.

v1.3.16 小型更新

10月18日 v1.3.16 小型更新

为了与这个事件配套,重制了符卡使用按钮和粒子特效。

少数几个成就的解锁逻辑与预期稍有偏差,现已修复。

「黑暗演舞」费用2BG→BG。

卡图更新。
部分卡牌的文本优化。

v1.3.15 Achievement Updat

9/25 v1.3.15 Achievement Update



Achievements are now avilable!




Achievements are tied to save files, of which you can have 3 at a time.
Meaning it's possible to start a new save file and unlock the achievements all over again from that file.
Unlocking an achievement in-game will also unlock it in your Steam profile.

About achievements on existing save files:
Upon starting the game or selecting a file, achievements tied to beating the game with a certain character will be automatically unlocked if the conditions were fulfilled.
Other achievements will have to be unlocked manually, as it's impossible to check the specifics of those retroactively.

Note:Due to the way Steam Achievements are ordered, we've set some hidden achievements tied to characters not currently available.
All achievements that can be currently unlocked in the current version can be seen in the in-game Achievements page.
