Hello, all! This update is Part Two of the Fleshing Out of the New Kit. For those who missed it last month, here's a rundown of whats going on:
There's a new "Kit" that Kat can use to enter the temple. It includes alternative starting cards, different combos with different combo upgrade paths, different Summoning Tome cards, and a different starting heat tolerance. I havn't added a narrative way of introducing this kit yet, so to play it, you have to press the "WIP test" button after clicking on the Tavern Door. The kits have names, too! The default kit is referred to as "Barbarian" and the new kit is referred to as "Ichor Witch."
This month, we've added Unlockable Tome Cards to the Ichor Witch kit. You can view this menu by clicking on the "2" door on the right side of the tavern.
There are seven new cards that can be unlocked and experimented with, all of which interact with the "Ichor Drone" mechanic. There's a lot going on, and the balance of these cards is still undetermined. I'm working on it, though! Some cards from last month have been rebalanced. The most unintuitive change is this: The cards "Feed the Drones" and "Mobile Horde" have had their names swapped. Idk why I thought this was an important change, but at the time, I promise that I really did. Lmao. Anyway, hopefully this next month will involve some narrative additions to make the new kit fit into the game. I should be introducing Ravenna herself, the Ichor Witch who teaches Kat her techniques. Anyway, enjoy the update! And let me know what you think!
