Version 0.0.2
I have just updated The Royal Guard with the following changes:
Bugfixes
- Slight improvement to end game detection. The game should only end in a failure if:
- An enemy royal enters the throne room uncontested or if more enemies are in the throne room with contesting royals.
- You send your own monarch to jail.
- The deck empties twice and you haven't let at least one of your monarchs into the throne room.
- Fixed issue with overlapping audio.
- Incidentally fixed the >2 question bug. Though this should also be fixed if I return the game to a multi-card draw.
Features
- Updated the game to draw only 1 card instead of 2 - allowing the questions and answers UI to always be visible.
- Rearranged the interface so everything is visible on screen at once (related to previous point.)
- Added more variety of colour to the interface.
- Added tooltips to some of the interface to try and help onboard players.
- Made the card count hint dynamic. When cards are revealed either in jail or the throne room they are removed from the card count.
Future Updates
- Further improvements to the logic of the game so it's less luck based and easier to detect issues with peoples' stories.
- I want to potentially give the player extra abilities/checks if they get a monarch into the throne room. For example the ability to ask an extra question or extend the number of times cards come around.
- Add settings for volume etc.
Other
- Given how different the game is now I will shortly upload a new project with the original HTML build for comparison of the original jam submission.
- I will need to update the current page to reflect the new rules.
