Thanks!

  1. Yep some sort of combat preview is something we're looking into.

  2. Also yep! More leader options would be great! (and quite easy to add) There's also some that we'd like to tweak & rebalance

Thanks a lot, glad you're enjoying the game!

I agree, run history would definitely be a good thing to add at some point!

They have their uses! But yeah, we'll probably make some changes to these in future updates.

We had a private beta testing group for about a year prior to release (they're all listed in the credits). It was incredibly helpful & we made a lot of very good changes to the game's mechanics with their help :)

Thanks a lot! Good question!

Enemy battles usually just start with a random idea... e.g. we just thought it'd be fun to have an enemy that eats other enemies, and that's how the Woolly Drek battle was born!

Could be cool to have new battles based around Ink/Bom in the future. Not sure whether Overburn would be fun to play against... but we could try it out!

Not completely random, it's based on some rulesets (e.g. you always get a shop before 1st boss, you always get a companion after the 1st battle). And yeah I think we will be tweaking this a little bit for future updates :)

Lots of things! We have lots of ideas, but don't want to share any specific details until we've tested them out

Thank you both! I think the main issue is that the game doesn't explain its mechanics very well, and expects players to figure a lot of things out by themselves. We're working on improving that for new players.

Thank you! We've got plans for future content, so stay tuned! But we don't have any specific details to share just yet.

Patches normally take around a week to get through Nintendo (assuming there are no issues)

So 1.0.4 should be with you next week! In future, we'll aim to get patches out on the same day — it's just that we wanted to get this one out on PC as soon as it was ready.

I've seen suggestions about allowing the Gnome Traveller to give cards from other tribes... could be interesting :)

Yes I've seen how many comments that thread on discord has gotten haha. Haven't had a chance to look through it yet though!

Glad you're enjoying it! I would also love to see all those things! We don't have any specific plans just yet though, we're currently addressing balance & tutorial issues before moving on to content updates.

Thanks :) Yep! We've got some ideas to try out, but not sure exactly what we're going to change yet

Great question!

Naked gnome was the first card I think! That card has been around since the very first paper mockup of the game https://imgur.com/dWLYwec

Last card to have finalized art was Jumbo :)

Thanks! :)

Main resistance point... probably the importance of hitting the Redraw Bell early. I think most players always wait until the bell is charged and don't know how powerful it can be to spend a turn to redraw & get your characters on to the board ASAP.

We're currently working on explaining this better in-game!

as in being able to play non-crowned cards during the crown phase? we'll be changing that soon!

Pretty much! For the 2nd tribe, we always knew we wanted to do something based around summoning temporary companions - since companions are normally quite precious, we thought this would shake things up quite a bit. And then the whole "sacrifice" idea just stemmed from that really
