We are so excited to announce this patch update!<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve bought the game, you\u2019ve probably noticed that every two weeks we\u2019ve been dropping a patch update, with a list of changes that can be found on our Steam page.<\/p>\n
Now, the intensity of these updates certainly varies. Sometimes it\u2019s invisible code fixes, other times it\u2019ll be typo corrections (we anticipate many of these), and other times \u2013 my favorite times \u2013 it\u2019ll be to update the game with some additional art, animation, or VFX.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m delighted to share that today\u2019s patch update includes many of these! Let\u2019s take a look:<\/p>\n
Kalresh has been flourishing and spinning without an animation for too long. Now, whenever you invoke a flourish attack, you\u2019ll see them spin around wondrously, and knocking the marbles out of all surrounding opponents:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-8px|||||” custom_padding=”||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”262.3px” custom_margin=”-36px|auto|-48px|auto||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/genericlakemonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/flourish.gif” title_text=”flourish” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”5px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]
While this one is complete, we\u2019re not quite done with all these flourish animations- there\u2019s 18 types, so there\u2019s plenty more variations to look forward to!<\/p>\n
Next, we have the Icy Cantrip<\/strong> spell, which is one of our more breathtaking spells:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”335.1px” custom_margin=”|auto|-424px|auto||” custom_padding=”17px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/genericlakemonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/icy-cantrip.gif” title_text=”icy cantrip” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||9px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Ah, all the magic of snow and ice without the inconvenience of frozen infrastructure.
