Steam Demo
  • First public Steam demo build
  • New Steam capsule and logo assets

Here's look at our artist building the new Steam artwork.

Steam Demo Battle
Opponent Previews

Opponent selection is much easier to read before you commit.

  • Preview up to 3 opponents side-by-side
  • Preview cards now show an enemy lineup strip before commit
  • Pre-commit lineup strips reveal some active cards while hiding the rest behind obscured slots
  • Enemy badges now make round differences easier to spot, and preview focus stays synced with the journey map
Opponent Previews
Sell Portal

Selling cards and sites now feeds them into the portal instead of making them just disappear.
