| Development update #8 - Player's hand: Before & After | 2024-09-02 | Hello everybody! Welcome to the 8th development update of Iconia Defenders! In today's post, I'm going to talk about one of the features we were working on in the past, they are already available in the game, but is good to talk in retrospective and how it changed over time. Player's hand Let's start with the "Player's hand". The player's hand is where the cards that you can play appears. At the left of the "Deck button". Originally, the player's hand was very stale. All the cards were blue, walls' shapes were hard to distinguish. And we didn't have a "Discard Pile". As you can see in the following picture: Before Animations were also very ba |

| Demo update 0.6.1 | 2024-07-30 | Changelog Based on the feedback received, we implemented some quick QoL features and fixes. What's new? Added a new User interface volume slider. So the sounds happening in the UI can be tweaked separately from the sounds of the game. Added tooltips to the deck building card counters, so they are easier to understand.

And we have implemented various languages for the current game's content: French Spanish Italian Portuguese German Russian Polish Japanese Simplified Chinese Traditional Chinese Korean This required not only to translate the strings of the game, but to adapt it to be more resilient to the differences in size and shape of each language.

Tasks ended up being bigger than expected, but here we are! Progressing through the second milestone of the development roadmap! You may notice that we moved the achievements to the end, honestly it didn't make sense to make them before the other 2 core mechanics of the game (skill tree & deck building menu).
