Daily Update(12/06/24)

Daily Update - Dec 6th, 2024

Happy Friday! Today was a bit of a UI day with a fairly large-ish under the hood re-work on how card UIs are displayed when they're not in your hand. The UI there had diverged pretty hard from how the cards in your hand looked, so I took the time to fix that up, and it was a bit of a larger UI refactor than I expected, haha. Also, I noticed a kinda nasty bug that got fixed, heh.

Also, I've made a gameplay change that'll hopefully add more weight to buying and selling items that don't start in your character's starter deck: Restockable items! If an item doesn't start in your starter deck, it is not Restockable, which means that when you Sell it to a customer, it's gone forever. This'll have the effect of hopefully making the additional goods packs a bit more attractive in the later weeks, since those items are not Restockable, so you'll need to keep re-buying them if you want the fancy items from packs. Such is the way of commerce. This also gives me a lever to play with for card effects, which should be fun. All that said, here's the full changelog for the day:

Changelog (v0.3.2)

-----

• Gameplay: Item cards are now removed from your Starting Inventory when sold, unless they are Restockable. (All starting items are Restockable)
• UI: Added a tooltip to card UIs to explain what Restockable means
• UI: Reworked the UI for cards when viewing them in deck piles or the starting inventory. They should match their UI in your hand now, and be a bit easier to read and less squashed.
• Art: Added art for basic Potion item
• Art: Added art for the Sharpened Dagger item combination card
• Bugfix: Fixed buying additional goods not actually adding the purchased items to your deck (get scammed!)
