Brackeys cheat!

Hello everyone! Today we have a new update for Penumbra (play it here).

With Brackeys Game Jam 2025.2 I've decided remake and refactor the card system I've built. The theme felt like a great fit for an adapted version of Cheat, so Bluffing Biscuits was born!

It's quite a different game, though, so although the basic structure was alright, it required quite a few changes to some of the systems:

• Black King works mostly with positioning, for which I created a system using areas and signals.
• Cheat is simpler, with selection and discarding, that made me discover the very helpful _gui_input method for Control Nodes.

So, after the jam, I refactored the Penumbra code and added a Cheat table.

And with that, I've also remade the Black King's AI to be more interesting. Now it can actually memorise the cards it looks at, use the specials and use a little bit of strategy.

The House is not open yet, though. The next step is to takle a simple 10 round run. And maybe try to replace some of the backgrounds...

For now, thanks for reading! And if you play it, I would love your critiscism (good or bad).

See ya!
