Hello everyone!

The endless crunch at work is finally over, and we've been able to fully return to working on our game!

Today, we're releasing the alpha version of update 0.4.5 (Obliviate):

• Patreon
• Subscribestar
• Boosty

For now, this version doesn't include new quests or scenes. We're working on those in parallel, but we wanted to get these mechanics changes out for testing as soon as possible.

Here's what's new in today's release:

• Card Discard: Discard unwanted cards to gain 1 mana.
• Card Draw: Draw extra cards for 2 mana.
• Deckbuilder: A new feature allowing you to create your own custom decks from unlocked cards.
• Post-Adventure Unlock: Unlock one card encountered during an adventure for use in the Deckbuilder.
• UI Rework: Reworked the adventure preparation screen and equipment selection panel.
• Equipment Overhaul: Each piece of equipment now contains fewer cards but provides a unique effect that can modify your stats or game mechanics.
• Recipe Drops: Equipment Recipe items can now drop during battles.
• Recipe Tracking: Once you find a recipe, its information will appear in the equipment selection panel.
• Crafting: After finding a recipe, you can craft the corresponding item and use it in future adventures.
• Card Elements: Each card now has an 'element'. Your equipment can affect the effectiveness of different elements.
• Combat UI Widget: A dedicated widget has been added to the combat UI to display effects from equipped items.
• Censor Option: Added a Censor option in the settings: when enabled, all NSFW scenes will be skipped. (You can view skipped scenes later in the Pensieve).

We're looking forward to your initial feedback on these changes as we continue working on the story content.

Thanks for staying with us!
