Hey all,
With the Steam #NextFest right around the corner, we wanted to quickly give you an insight into what's coming with our new update. Our original plan was to get the [b]Goblin Stone[/b] demo as polished as humanly possible for the festival, without making any significant changes.
As we worked through your feedback, and to see how positive your reactions have been towards it, we felt expanding its depth a little bit more would be incredibly beneficial to those diving in for the first time, or those of you who've played the game before.
While we work on bug squashing in preparation for [b]pushing the update to the live client next week (WC 14 June)[/b] , here's what'll be added.
[h2]New look of Ability Cards[/h2]

We added symbols to give a brief idea of what an ability does. We wanted to make the ability cards easier to understand.
[h2]Ability Queue Preview[/h2]

We decided to add a preview of the next set of abilities a Goblin would have on their next turn. We hope that it helps planning out strategies during combat.
[h2]Minimap[/h2]

The Minimap will help players navigate procedurally generated levels, making sure that players don’t miss any resources in the map they're on.
