This time we have a big update on our hands so let's not waste any time and get right into it! Most importantly, a new playable character has joined the roster!

If you're going for a pacifist run, Angelique is a very good choice. The before mentioned special estate, her "Nibble Cat Café", sells goods which almost outmatch everything else you can buy for those prices, which means that other players (human and AI alike) will gladly shop for some of the confectionery Angelique sells. Be aware that the Café is a special building and only 1 of them can exist at any given time for a player.

Here a screenshot of the ingame descriptions of the shop:

Of course Nexa couldn't stay away from the shop for too long and was curious to see what it's all about. :3

The food items this new estate sells not only give you HP, but also will temporarily buff some of your stats. With some extremely rare exceptions, food items normally do not buff  stats so that makes these highly coveted. The Cat Cake is a new Card Food Item which you will gain when you buy it in the shop.

200$ is an above average amount of money to pay for a food card (if you don't count the high class restaurants), however, befriending Angelique is rather easy as she will like you more if you buy her stuffs and / or help improving her estate's property values and once she likes you enough she'll give you discounts which means you'll be able to buy her stuff for half the price, which is basically a steal for the value you get.

As mentioned in her character reveal, Angelique will gain an extra Hitpoint if she eats confectionery items. The game now classifies food items into different categories, so this means that if you'd mod in your own characters you could give them their own favourite food as this system is flexible and easily moddable.

The other last special ability Angelique has is being able to spend an Action Point at home to bake a cake which will grant her +4 HP.

Again, this new ability is highly moddable which means you can adjust description, amount of hitpoints earned as well as the button graphics for your custom characters.

Lastly, there is a new 4 Player Map, fittingly called for this update's theme "Splendid Sweets", a Map with a cake, confectionery and sweets theme. Playing this one and not getting hungry is a tough one for me, haha!

That's all for this update! For a complete overview of everything this patch does please refer to the changelog down below.

• Added "Angelique" as new playable character.
• Added a new ability for custom characters to refill their HP when at home.
• Added a new gameplay mechanic, Food Items now have different Foodtypes, when a character's favourite food type matches that of the food eaten they will get bonus HP.
• Added "Nibble Cat Café" as new buildable estate for Angelique.
• Added "Kitty Paw" as new food item.
• Added "Cat Cake" as new food card item.
• Added "Splendid Sweets" as a new 4 Player Map.
• Fixed a small Typo.
• Fixed a bug in which the Attacker would get an additional point in the "Cards Used" section of the stats when the Defender uses a card.
• Fixed a bug which wouldn't allow you to scroll the Custom Soundtrax list if you had created too many custom soundtracks.
• Changed Character portraits in the main menu screen, before Leonora's portrait would always be shown after a match, now the game will pick a random character's portrait instead. At the start of the game Leonora's portrait will still always be the first one to show.
  

I hope you'll have fun with the game!
Please stay tuned for further updates in the future! ('ᴗ')
