Ren'Py Echoes of Mythria

Hotfix - v0.37 Hotfix - v0.37 Fixed a bug after playing Jenna that caused the game to give an error whenever MC thoughts occured. Improved the way the deadline with Mrs. Eliot is displayed.

Fixes & Improvements: Splash Damage: Splash damage can no longer land critical hits. Champions Abilities are here! (Read more below) Fixed an issue where the wrong card image was displayed when clicking on a placed unit during battle. All ability chances (Steal, Bleed, Poison, Piercing, etc.) are now visible in the Deck app. New visual effect added for "purge" buffs during battles. The Use button in battle has been flipped to mirror the End Turn button’s layout for better consistency. Mrs. Eliot’s Deal – Revamped: You’ll now need to face Mrs. Eliot in battle once a week (until Chapter 4 – don’t worry, it’s not permanent!). Failing to do so now comes with new consequences. You can track the remaining days in your to-do app, and you'll receive an in-game reminder the night before your final day. If you previously failed this event, it will now reset, giving you another chance to complete (or ignore) it. If you succeeded, you’ll simply be expected to continue with the new system. If anything has changed for you concerning this deal, you will be notified when loading your save. Bowman has been reworked — he now deals less damage but ignores 1 point of armor aswell as having a chance to pierce through units and hit the one behind too (Update 0.35). Potions can now only be used on humanoid units. Fixed the Throw button. Fixed a bug where clicking on a placed unit during battle could display the wrong card image. Champions – Unique Abilities Are Here! Each Champion now comes with a unique bonus, bringing distinct strengths and identity to your decks. Whether it's a passive effect, a triggered bonus, or synergy with specific unit types, these abilities will shape your strategy going forward. These abilities are already active in-game. Full descriptions will be available in the upcoming in-game Codex. While some of these may sound "too powerful", rest assured: internal testing is ongoing to keep everything balanced and fun. And yes — you’ll be able to play with other Champions starting in Chapter 4! Current Champion Abilities: Bran – As the King of Thieves, it’s only natural he empowers any card with a Stealing ability. Elise – Grants a health bonus to all low-cost cards. Elyra – Has a chance to Charm units on hit, preventing them from acting on their next turn. Gideon – What’s a king without treasures? Gideon gains a growing chance to generate an extra crystal each turn. Katrina – Master of the bow, she increases the accuracy of all Archers, boosting their critical strike chances. Sable – Her battle cry triggers on attack, boosting her army’s morale by reducing all allies’ Preparation Time by 1 and granting a chance to break control effects. Toric – The Beastmaster brings greater strength to the wild — all Beast-type units under his command deal increased damage.

Improvements/Features The Phone icon now shows useful information (day, time, and money) when hovered. Wallpapers: You can now set any picture from the gallery as your phone wallpaper. The phone's layout has been slightly improved accordingly. Gallery: Hovering over a picture now gives hints on how to unlock it. All images now display a number, making it easier to discuss them with others. Champions are no longer immune to control effects! If your champion is controlled, any ability depending on them becomes unavailable (currently applies to attacks, but a lot more interactions are coming). Saving During Battles: You can now save during battles! However, loading that save will restart the battle from the beginning. This solution offers a fair middle ground and feels better than disabling battle saves entirely. Balance: Many units have received stat adjustments — overall, most Crit and Agility values have been reduced, abilities have been strengthened, and several units have had their identity better defined to support a more balanced, and enjoyable gameplay experience. Read more below. Splash damage is now implemented in battles in preparation for the next Chapters. For now, only the Bowman uses it, but more cards will follow...
