Version 36 Development Build 1 Out Now!


Introduction

At long last, a the first Version 36 devbuild is finally available! This devbuild introduces many things, but the biggest focus is the support of team battles!

What's New?

Team Battles

(Note: Video is from an earlier version of the devbuild)

Team Battles are now a main feature for FTB! When creating a lobby, you'll be able to pick how many players you want to have and set up any of them as CPU players or invite players to play with you:

How do team battles work?

Team battles actually work the same way they always have previously, except previously the teams were always 1 versus 1. Some things to be aware of include:

  • You can play with 2 to 4 players, and choose any team configuration among them
  • You can play online, LAN, or offline! Don't have friends to play with? Try playing with CPUs!
  • When a player is defeated, all their cards are removed from the board
  • Being defeated doesn't mean you'll get a game over, you just won't be able to keep playing. You only get a game over if your team is completely defeated
  • Guardians can defend an entire team, not just the player that plays or summons them
  • When an effect affects multiple players, the game will zoom out the board so you can see the full impact. This is not currently finalized, so effects that deal damage to all cards will not zoom out right now
  • Cards that affect all allied players will be more powerful. Bonfire, Parched Predator, and Redan Entertainer are especially strong!

What's missing?

Right now, team battles are about 70% complete. We need to iron out bugs and ensure the card zoom feature properly works: We don't want team battles to be disorienting.

After team battles are finalized, we have another major feature to be added: Boss Raid battles, with the first raid coming this update.

In Boss Raids, a player or CPU plays as a boss with a custom deck and mechanics, while other players pick their best decks to try to beat the boss.

More information will be coming soon!

Flamingo Card Styles

This update introduces a flamingo-themed card style pack! The flamingo bundle can be obtained in the shop for the gold price of 5 card packs!

This bundle was made in celebration of April 1st, although very delayed. It is meant to be a celebration of when Flaming Torch Games becomes Flamingo Torch Games!

Here's the card styles included:
