The new decks are 'Straight Ahead' and 'Four Fingers' and I will just let you all discover for yourself on what the gimmicks of these decks are, as they have more significant changes than the last few decks. I should also inform you all, that the deck "Zach's Deck" has been given a bump up in difficulty by having some of it's legal hands removed. This does have the unfortunate effect whereby some of the hands that were removed are now undiscoverable with the current 6 decks available, but that should be fixed when the 7th deck is available.
We are reaching the beginning of the end here, as we are reaching the point where the next few milestones simply consist of beautifying the game and adding content. These will obviously still take a lot of time, but at least there are no more systems to build from the ground up. Two biggest things I'm thinking/worrying about now is on the discussion of music and pricing. this game will eventually have music, but I'm struggling to consider if I should try making my own, hire someone to make it, get someone to volunteer, or just give up entirely and place some royalty free music. I would love if I can get volunteers or royalty free, but there is a reason why this game's version have the word 'demo' in front of it, it will be unwise to sell this game when the music is made by someone making it to me for free, and on the topic of selling the game, I'm struggling to consider if I should sell it here, pay the 100$ to sell it on steam, or just give up and have this game up in here for free.
I would love to get some input on these decisions from any of you all playing, but in the meantime, I hope you all enjoy the 0.4 update while I work on the next milestone, which is refining the game's animations!
