Hello everyone,

A tiny tweaks and improvements patch, v1.1.3 is up and running. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

Patch notes:
- Added sorting options for owned cards
- Tweaked quests that require Tama to look at both active and benched parties
- Added a hint in Connor's dialogue to visit the Control Room
- Added a more accessible bank terminal in the Mansion

As outlined in the previous patch notes, I'm now developing a (semi-)sequel card game Anode Heart project. It's on the verge of becoming a presentable entity, so I'm planning on publishing a Steam page for it towards the end of July/early August.

See you again soon!

Hello everyone,

Aside from a few smaller bug fixes, v1.1.2 brings a new Gameplay Settings tab with options for Wild Tama/Trainers/Bosses level scaling and a new "Auto-Potential" option, which auto-converts any Potential you get on level up or evolution into Stat points.

[Next Project: Roadmap]

[x.com]With v1.1.2 done, I will continue to focus on the next project, the Tama card game! (and Spanish translation for Anode Heart in parallel) The card game will be a shorter project - a side game to play while the Sequel is developed. I'm building the card game with PvP support in mind, so online play with friends and tournaments are a potential thing, but it will still primarily be an offline experience. More news on that next month.

Thank you and see you soon!

As always, if you have any questions or problems, reach out to me in the discord or ask about it in the forums. Thank you for playing and following Anode Heart!

-+ Future Roadmap +-

The base content I envisioned for Anode Heart is now complete. The next game I'll work on will be a sequel or a side-game, set in the same universe, but with a new story and new characters.

I hope to share more details on that within the next couple of months.

Hello everyone, I've implemented a few more quality of life improvements and tweaks this week. I hope you'll find them useful! As always, if you notice any bugs or have any suggestions, comment below or let me know in the Discord!

v1.0.6.9 Changelog:

Features/QoL:
* New item storage screen, complete redesign
* Added Level Cap game mode option*
* Added Level Indicator toggle machines
(one in Binary Forest, Circuit Shore, Cliffs and Meadow)
* Added reboots/souls EXP bonus boost and HUD indicator (in Tama Stats menu)
* Picked up items will automatically go to Bank if your inventory is full
* Faster skips of Evolution and Rebirth screens

Tweaks:
* Increase Fifou's HP affinity to 65% and Strength to 75%
* Shield Boost effect set to 10 Armor
* Shield Generator II effect set to 25 Armor

Bugfixes:

------------
*Level cap:
- "Hard Cap" is the default option and that's how the max level worked so far
- "Soft Cap" allows you to gain EXP even if you breached max level, but as you go further beyond it, that Tama will gain less and less EXP
- "Unlimited" - max level exists, but is ignored. You gain full EXP regardless of it

Hello everyone,

I decided to take one more week to focus on improvements, before tackling Mythicals. This patch brings some new features and tweaks that might help fix some of the gripes with the game's mechanics. I hope these changes will make the overall experience better. If you have any feedback, please let me know.

Changelog:

[major]

* World Map is now obtainable immediately from Mr. Shishi (old save files that don't have the World Map will also have it now by default)
* Wild Overworld Tama level indicators
* EXP curve tweaks ("Easy" is a bit steeper now, while "Normal" and "Steep" are a bit less steep)
* Starters and lots of stage one Tama now have the "Easy" EXP curve

[minor]
* Reduced the too high levels of early daytime area Tama (like Crables)
* All "Claw" techs are now Contact techs
* Added heart/sword icons on cards
* Added Glitch Frag location indicators on the World Map
* Added "Story Quest" indicator in the quests' HUD, for quests that advance the Plot

[major]
* Evolution requirements are now visible by default
* Added a cross-character quest in Kernel Dump (Tami/Rika) to give more in-game info about breeding Tama
* Gifting favorite items now has a chance to set Tama's capture chance to 100% immediately

[minor]
* Increased elemental resistance upgrades to 30% resistance
* Honeybee Passive tweak (more Beebee on the team = more Honey)
* Expanded Fowlhoo's level-up techset
* Fixed Overworld Tama shadow sprites
* Flatland visual tweaks
* Serpehyr Wisdom affinity set to 90%
* French language bugfixes and tweaks

I'll focus on translating the game and the Mythicals Expansion from now on, and any patches between now and then will only be for emergency bugs, if any pop up. The Expansion will come out sometime before the March Spring Sale, or at the very start of it.

Cheers
