Beta v0.110.0: откат Mirage и Pillar of Creation, режим «только клавиатура» и VFX форм
Бета-патч от 31 июля сочетает балансные правки с частичным откатом реворков v0.109.0. Mirage и Pillar of Creation вернулись к версиям до 0.109.0 с небольшими изменениями — Mirage снова даёт Блок от Poison врагов и больше не Exhaust, а Pillar of Creation снова срабатывает при каждом создании карты, но с меньшим Блоком. Также добавлены режим управления только с клавиатуры, кнопка Share на карте, новые портреты для множества карт, VFX форм персонажей и большой пакет правок Ancient, персонажей и мультиплеера вместе с исправлениями.
- •Mirage возвращена к версии до 0.109.0 (Блок от Poison врагов) и больше не Exhaust
- •Pillar of Creation снова срабатывает при каждом создании карты, Блок снижен с 3(4) до 2(3); Regalite переработана в версию раз в ход с 6 Блока
- •Новый режим управления только с клавиатуры и кнопка Share, делающая скриншот всей карты
Бета-хотфикс v0.109.1: исправление множественного числа в традиционном китайском
Крошечный бета-хотфикс с одним важным исправлением для игроков на традиционном китайском: синхронизированы исправленные переводы, чинящие сломанную обработку множественного числа, появившуюся вместе с поддержкой zht в v0.109.0.
- •Синхронизированы исправленные переводы традиционного китайского для починки множественного числа
- •Без изменений геймплея и баланса — хотфикс затрагивает только тексты на традиционном китайском
Beta v0.109.0: новые реликвии Neow, реворк Diamond Diadem и переработки Silent
Бета-патч от 17 июля — крупное обновление баланса и контента. В центре — две новые реликвии Neow: Dowsing Rod добавляет квестовую карту Dowsing, которая превращается в Abundance, а Neow’s Sacrifice даёт эксклюзивное зелье Ambergris ценой проклятия Guilty. Diamond Diadem переработана в реликвию стартового Блока, Bloodletting стала Uncommon, Well-Laid Plans, Mirage и Expertise у Silent переработаны, несколько мультиплеерных карт ослаблены, Aeonglass и Torchhead Amalgam поменялись стартовым уроном, а игра получила раннюю поддержку традиционного китайского и длинный список исправлений.
- •Две новые реликвии Neow: Dowsing Rod (добавляет квест Dowsing, превращающийся в Abundance) и Neow’s Sacrifice (эксклюзивное зелье Ambergris плюс проклятие Guilty)
- •Реворк Diamond Diadem: бой начинается с 20 Блока, который не снимается в начале следующего хода
- •Три переработки Silent: Well-Laid Plans (Rare, рука больше не сбрасывается), Mirage (0 стоимости, Energy на следующий ход) и Expertise (добор 2(3) с Retain)
Beta v0.108.0: копирование modded-сейвов, рандомайзер Custom Run и карты для мультиплеера
Июльский бета-патч 2026 года улучшает надёжность модов, Custom Run, Bestiary, мультиплеерные карты, UI, баланс и исправляет множество ошибок. Главное: при первом запуске с модами обычные сохранения копируются в modded-папку, добавлена кнопка Randomize для Custom Run, таймер одиночного забега останавливается в меню паузы, Bestiary получает раздел статистики, Aeonglass — новые анимации, а кооп — много новых карт.
- •При первом запуске с модами обычные сохранения копируются в modded-директорию, а всплывающее окно объясняет разделение
- •В Custom Run появилась кнопка Randomize: два хороших модификатора, один плохой и случайный персонаж
- •В одиночной игре таймер забега останавливается, пока открыто меню паузы
Крупное обновление #2: перенос беты, переработка RNG и Steam Workshop
Второе крупное обновление основной ветки переносит в live четыре бета-патча. Aeonglass, Bestiary, изменения баланса врагов и карт из v0.105-v0.107, поддержка Steam Workshop и большая переработка RNG теперь находятся в ветке Main. Также это крупный проход по стабильности: сохранения, контроллеры, Linux, мультиплеер, переводы, UI, графика, звук и производительность.
- •Main теперь включает свежий набор бета-изменений: Aeonglass, Bestiary и баланс v0.105-v0.107
- •Переработка RNG исправляет корреляцию случайных результатов между независимыми системами забега
- •Поддержка Steam Workshop запущена и дает модам официальный путь подписки и обновлений
Beta Patch: Beta → Main Groundwork — Stability, Bug Fixes & Minor Balance
A deliberately smaller bi-weekly patch whose main purpose is to lay the groundwork for merging the beta branch into main. It is stability-first: a large bug-fix pass plus UI/UX/QoL and performance work, with only a few balance changes and art additions. Aeonglass is simplified (no longer applies Ebb), Skulking Colony is buffed further, and several cards across Ironclad, Regent and Necrobinder get tuned. Includes a new Defect power-up animation.
- •Groundwork laid for moving the beta branch onto main — this patch is stability-first
- •Aeonglass simplified: no longer applies the Ebb debuff; now gains Block on its Ebb move

Main Branch Patch: Beta Bug Fixes Merged to Live
The first main-branch update under the new bi-weekly cadence — a pure bug-fix rollup that brings tons of fixes from the beta branch over to main. Dozens of crash fixes (dying creatures, controller card pile, Linux combat and ICU), extensive controller/Steam Deck navigation fixes, and a long list of relic, event and multiplayer fixes. Note: the new Aeonglass boss and the Bestiary remain beta-only and are not part of this main update.
