App updated: Beta 0.4.1 released

Permalink Report to webmaster

This new release includes a requested feature and minor visual improvements.

Sel​​ect multiple cards for stashing

We've been asked for this feature several times, so we delivered.

Now, when you open the game on a desktop or laptop and enter to view all your cards in the inventory, you'll be greeted with a toast:

As explained, by pressing shift while clicking on a card, it will be selected, and the next toast will sh​​ow up:

You'll be able to select up to 20 cards at a time to push them to the stash.

Once you close the view, the inventory will be reloaded.

Added universe to card info

The single card view was updated: now the universe will be sh​​own in the modal title:

Tavin|DAX card template was updated

We've received input about the arrows of Tavin|DAX card arrows having poor presence. We modified the template and added two features to the arrows to make them more prominent.

As you can notice, the first card of the shot above has a glow around the arrow and a small bar of the same color/pattern, while the others only have the bar but not the glow.

This happens because cards that were generated before the template change have hardcoded imagery. We purged all the server caches to force the bar next to the arrow to be added, but the glow is an addition to the template, thus, it isn't included in "old" cards.

In order to update old cards, we'll have to rebuild them, and it would require us to make a script for the job. We'll address this later on.

Side note: we had to purge the pre-generated cards cache, so all of them will be rebuilt by the card simplification algo.

On the server side...

  • During the last days we improved the card simplification algos and added two powerful servers to run processes in parallel. This dramatically reduced the regeneration time to 1 second or less per card, with up to 400 threads running in parallel.

  • We got a bug report about cards not being able to be stashed because they were marked as being in a deck without actually being in a deck. This was a bug on the server side that didn't remove the cards fr​​om the former owner's deck after changing hands. It was fixed.

Have you got any of the season cards?

We're beyond the half of December! Go play on Cariñoland's Christmas boards to get your hands on any of these unique ch​​aracters!

But hurry up! They'll be available until the end of the year!

A last word

We previously said we were going to be out for the rest of the month, but we wanted to release this build before taking a short leave.

Still, we want again to thank you all for bearing with us during this great year!

We'll be around monitoring services, but we'll take a small break in development.

But there's a thing fro​​m our creative team that will be the cherry on top.

If you don't follow our social media channels, you should do so, so you don't miss it!

   

Au revoir!
