Release of v0.2!

Cards of Gluttony
A browser game made in HTML5

Hey there! How's it going, everybody? It's been a while! Turns out: making a game is a lot of work. But it's finally time for an update!

An important thing of note: this will likely be the last version with a web version available. The reason for this is that the game's starting to get too big to serve over the web like this. However, this version will still stay up as a way for people to give the game a try without having to download anything!

Now here come the Patch Notes:

In short, the most exciting stuff:

  • MacOS builds!
  • Added customizable Content Warning settings
  • A time of day system.
  • Fat Burn (weight loss) mechanic.
  • 6 new locations.
  • 2 new Opponents.
  • New card type (BUFF) and statuses mechanic.
  • Mulligans!
  • Clothing Options!
  • Money and Item systems.
  • More character customization options.
  • More bespoke touchscreen controls for Android.
