v0.4.3 Update - 19 new cards, new tutorial, and more!

BlindOak Prow
A downloadable game

Hey everyone! Today we're releasing our biggest patch since the start of beta. The goal is to do these weekly but we'll see what the future holds. A lot of these changes were only possible thanks to suggestions and bug reports from our excellent beta testers :)

This is actually a bigger update than most will be, since we're introducing 19 new cards — a sizeable increase in our first set.

V0.4.3 Changelog

Content
- 19 new cards!

Tutorial
- Now using simpler, placeholder versions of Karl and Zanostiphenes in the tutorial.
- Tutorial is now 5 battles. Spread out lessons, removed a couple bad ones, made the final fight easier.
- Tutorial now always awards Praesidix, and gives choice of Ira or ??? (Morren).

UI
- Dialogue box text can now be advanced by clicking anywhere on the screen
- Deckbuilder now displays more unusable cards, not just ones you can't afford, if you check the 'show unusable cards' option.
- Deckbuilder now has "Deck Rules" link which runs through a brief tutorial on deckbuilding rules. They're automatically enforced by the game, but if you want a better idea of how the deckbuilder works, this is for you.
- You can now dismiss card lore by clicking anywhere on the screen.
- Improve display of Sandcastles in Idle Stats
- Improve scrolling in the deckbuilder
- New ATK & HP icons

Bugs
- Fixed bug with deleting parties. Don't worry about it. We hope.
- Fixed bug with flagging
- Fixed bug with hiding online players in the tutorial
- The AI will now use Cure correctly
- Shapeshift now does what it says (user is an animal)
- Singing (Regen) & Song of Regen now properly are 1-cost
- Fixed bug where killing a called character with a targeted Enchant effect could crash the server
- Fixed bug with Enchant and Purge/Dispel/Alchemy on targets with only one relevant attachment

Optimization
- Reduced file size of background images

Music
- New edit of the battle theme, loop position fixed

Known Issues
- IDLE GAME: buildCostReduction from Quarries only applies after your first purchase in a given session.
- DIALOGUE: on slower machines/connections, character name & portrait are sometimes briefly mismatched.
- CARD: Serena's "Singing" effects interact weirdly with Alchemy.
- Some older computers may experience hangs and fake disconnects when using the standalone app. Not yet sure what's causing this. Please report your experience in the Discord.
